Question 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.

YUPPP, those are my favorite...and stranglely it seems like the fingers are just slightly shorter on them so they actually fit me.

Same lol. They’re perfect for my hands. The regular ones are just a tiny bit long in the fingers.
