Cashmere-lined black leather dress gloves from Polo Ralph Lauren.

Why it's buy-it-for-life

An owner has worn the same pair since 2006 — some creasing across the knuckles but no tears, no thinning leather, and the cashmere lining is still great after nearly two decades.

    I've had the same pair of Polo black leather gloves since 2006. Some creasing across the knuckles on the fingers, but no tears, no thinning leather, cashmere lining still great.
