Things you’ll only find in places that carry good gloves: the pillow where you set your elbow while the glove is being fitted on your hand, and the finger stretcher, to stretch the glove fingers when needed.
When so much attention is spent to guarantee that something fits you perfectly, there’s no choice but to really appreciate what you are getting.

Coisas que só se encontram em sítios que vendem boas luvas: a almofada onde pousar o cotovelo enquanto nos calçam a luva, e o alargador, para eventualmente alargar os dedos das luvas quando necessário.
Quando tanta atenção é despendida para garantir que algo nos serve perfeitamente, não temos outra escolha senão a de valorizar o que compramos.
