I agree with the fingers wearing out first. I never thought about my gloves being to big. I have holes in the fingers long before the gloves wear out what do you do about that? Have you tried cutting the ends out?

Thanks for the tip! Wouldn't have expected this result, but since leather gloves stretch, this is really good to know!

You might try soaking them in water before working with them the first time. This should speed up the "Fitting" process.

These are my most favorite glove. I buy a pair every fall to use with our woodstove. I never get burned using them...I can stick my hands in and turn a partially burned log...open and shut the door without heat. Love love these gloves. I too wear a med and find it stretches out after just a few times wearing them....They are so comfortable and become fitted exactly to my hands. About the beginning of each spring I develop a hole in the tip of my index finger....who knows why....but by that time they have performed like a champ! I cannot bear them in summer as they make my hands hot but for fall and winter...they are amazing!
