Hi Folks-

I got a pair of the new Rivendell GOAT winter gloves in XL.

In retrospect, I wish I’d gotten them in size L as these are just a tad too big.

Does anyone have a pair of Larges that they want to swap for my XLs? Never worn, I just tried them on to check sizing.

Anyone interested please hit me up off-list at beewak at gmail dot com

Cheers- Mike in Somerville, Mass

@Mike,

Is it possible for you to exchange your pair for a a Large size from Rivendell Bicycle Works ? 
....or did you purchase them elsewhere ?

I'll let you know in about a week when my L arrives.

Hi Kim-

Thanks for your response!

I actually got them from SOMA.  I randomly saw them on SOMA’s site and impulse bought them a few days before they were officially announced in the Rivendell newsletter.

Exchanging is an option, but I figure I’d ask here first as they’re a new product and Rivendell can be, shall we say, “ambiguous” with their sizing. I thought there may be someone in a similar boat who’d want to swap sizes rather than going through the rigamarole of officially exchanging with the vendor.

(No solid takers so far, btw, so the offer still stands!)

Cheers- Mike

Hi Mike,

You are more than welcome regarding my response.

I thank you for your story behind your winter goat gloves. Good choice in starting herein for a possible trade for a smaller size. Perhaps waiting a bit longer would reveal someone who would be able to exchange sizes with you.

When I first saw these winter goat gloves posted herein, they were all sold out through RBW website. Then, a member saw them on the SOMA website. I was very tempted to buy a pair. Then again, it would not be very practical then, because the weather here in western Washington state had grown a lot warmer at the time I saw them. However, the weather has gotten a lot colder of late with an extremely amount of rain. At any rate, I am holding off until at a later time. 

Tally-ho,
Kim Hetzel.

The large came in and fit just fine, maybe a tad small in one or two fingers but the wool is stretchier than full leather. It came in a paper bag with this chart.
