The Thousands

No disrespect friend-who-learnt-how-to-knit-last-week, I love my new ‘scarf’. All seven inches of it. But I may need some back-up when it comes to protecting my extremities from the brutal Adelaide cold. I need no nonsense scarves with a super serious website. I need gloves that have seen a thousand winters. Or maybe only two hundred and thirty three. Apparently I need Dents, no nonsense British leatherwear cum winter accessories label established in 1777 and in Australia since 1839.

Just one look at their website will convince you that they’re very serious. This is good. Serious people = serious gloves and scarves. However, looking at their neverending catalogues may leave you perturbed, as it’s easy to get lost amongst the bridal dress gloves and handkerchiefs. I suggest dropping in to a store where all the hard work has been done for you and you may find the cream of the crop of coloured and tartan scarves, fingerless woollen and classy leather driving gloves. Brrr.
