A note on leather (since we're talking about the gloves):
Good leather will take a while to break in. As a rule of thumb, the better the leather is the longer it will take to break in. Once it is broken in, though, you'll probably never want to give it up (like my Vanson).
Kangaroo leather DOESN'T break in. If you buy a pair of 'roo hide/palm gloves you'd better make sure that they fit when you buy them - they won't get any looser. They'll feel amazing from the get-go, though.
If you're spending a large chuck of cash on good leather gear then be sure to take good care of it. I clean my leathers with warm water and a sponge or washclotch - you can also use leather cleaner. Don't use soap, it will dry out the leather and cause cracking. After that throw on a good rub of leather conditioner to help with the leather's longevity. A good leather jacket, or pair of gloves, can last you indefinitely.
I'm done.

When it comes to Ryan Jenkins, the story ends with me putting him in the wall.
