Lately, I've come to realize that I really like gloves. I especially appreciate a glove that fits well and can be used for just about anything. Gloves that keep your hands warm in the winter are nice too. But really, I like a utility glove that offers good dexterity.
Introducing the The Original glove by Mechanix Wear. I don't know why they have a registered trademark on "The Original", but they do. Lucky them.
As with all good things, somebody's gonna copy it and do a terrible job while they're at it. I was duped on Ebay (I pulled the trigger before I realized the gloves were shipping from China; I don't have anything against Chinese made products, but these fucking things are terrible!) a few days ago and I have these shitty fake gloves to show for it.

Some things of note:
- Poor fit
- Poorly copied accents
- Different material all around
- Poor quality elastic
Weird post, but whatever. These guys know about fake Mechanix gloves too. We'll see if the Ebay seller will refund my money. If not, maybe Paypal will.
Update: The seller refunded my money and claims he did not know they were fakes.

I was caught by fake item on ebay as well. Auction even claimed they were 100% genuine. They did not feel very good to wear so I googled and found your blog and looks like I have a fake pair
