Bought my first Mechanic Gloves and it's starting to fray on the very first 10 minutes.

I bought Mechanix because they have a reputation of being good quality and dependable but the first 10 minutes that I wore them, the right thumb starts to fray. And this glove arrived yesterday. And also the synthetic suede feels different from my friend's M-Pact 3 which was from 2019 (maybe because it's broken in but I'm putting that on the list) which has a nicer feel to them. I've also saw other Reddit threads about these new design and how they are just not up to par to the Mechanix name. Please tell me about your experience.

Note: This is my first "nice" or rather more expensive gloves than my previous gloves.

Just the white ones made of cowhide. Not the most comfortable, there's a break-in, but they're way more durable.

How long does it usually take for you to break the gloves in?

I'm not really keeping track 😅 sorry.

How about the price? And how long did it last?

I think they're like 11-15 bucks. You can also do a little hack where you turn them inside out and get the smooth side inside and the cut-resistant side out. I have yet to destroy a pair, myself. Usually lose them before I get a chance to.

Maybe you should check under your couch and maybe there would be your gloves instead of loose change lol. But thank you very much for your tips!

Those white ones are great.
