MB Deal of the Year: Leather Rabbit Fur-Lined Fratelli Orsini Gloves

Men's Italian Rabbit Fur Gloves By Fratelli Orsini via Leather Gloves Online, $85.95
Men's Italian Rabbit Fur Gloves By Fratelli Orsini via Leather Gloves Online. $85.95.

We've written about these fantastic gloves four times over the past dozen years (which is a lot since we post about quarterly). When we get around to publishing the MB Hall of Fame they'll be an original member. And now, thanks to a price-drop notification from our price-tracking app (still in alpha) they're just $85.95. Since 2012 we haven't paid a dime less than $125. Buy them; you'll love them.

If, like at least one reader, you're concerned about whether rabbits have suffered in these gloves' production, they have. But if it makes you feel any better, we learned from Fratelli Orsini they provide Gauls nutritional value before being turned into ridiculously luxe and cozy glove lining: "...the rabbit fur comes from either France or Belgium where rabbits are used as a food source and therefore the pelts are used for gloves and other garments."
