 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
I'm passing through Bourg St Maurice next week, and I'm looking for a pair of workmen's leather Venitex gloves. I've heard that they are available in DIY stores in France. Has anyone bought them from a shop in Bourg?

Chamcham, I have bought leather gloves from the Weldom next to the Intermarche, don't know if they are pigskin but they are what I wear most of the time when I'm skiing.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Chamcham, We got our first pair in Bourg of the Venitex (cowhide) ones, about 4 years ago now! You maybe lucky in any of the DIY stores however its a little early yet for them to have their stock. If your buying there have a really good look at all the gloves as the quality, colour and fit caries on almost every pair! One of the reasons I have a load of odd gloves which I can not really sell, maybe I should do a Snowhead special on them!!!!!!
You will only find the Venitex ones in France, I am still the only UK and European stockist of the Kinco 901 (pigskin) gloves

Thanks. I wanted to see them and try them on for that reason, and also to check the fit, as I suspect it varies between pairs.
Perhaps you should do a Snowhead special - I expect there are plenty of people on here who are not bothered about mismatching colour and grain direction, provided the durability and functionality are good.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

livetoski, I went to your website and tried to order some 901's to Belgium, and while your website says 3.99 delivery charge applies to anywhere in the EU, in the check-out postage price was circa 15 GBP. Is this correct?

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

@livetoski, Hi, an old post, but I see you say that you are a UK stockist of Kinko 901 gloves. Do you still have some?
