Vanishing Gloves

I don't normally buy clothes, or anything except fishing and diving gear in fact, but after Christmas I bought myself a really nice pair of Rab gloves. They were fairly expensive but good quality so I knew they'd last. Well they would have lasted if I hadn't lost one. I can't explain why losing things annoys me so much but it does. My left glove no resembles an old oak table..... varnished.
