Black leather gloves shouldn't stain....should they ?

[cumfy]

Normally buy woolly gloves, but just got some M&S black leather ones.

Came home to find 2 large smudges on my face!
Had been raining, but dye should be properly fixed, no ?

Not in my experience, no. Mind you mine is all with motorcycle leathers...

cheap ones will run

And you daren't take dear ones out in wet weather, just in case...

I didn't think M&S did "cheap ones" .

Pity, they're really comfortable.
Just never occurred to me that they might run.

Could you fit fine cotton or silk gloves inside the leather? They could turn blue instead of your skin.

I love my leather gloves, use them for everything, driving, wear them when I'm de-icing the car, in the rain etc, never had a problem with the dye running. I would take them back if I were you and exchange them for a different style maybe?.
