Default Mechanics gloves

I was wondering if anybody else had any experience with these.

I thought these were a kind of Jesse James wannabe item when they came
out but I have to admit I really like them for general wear around the
shop.

The only problem is the pair of Mechanix brand I had fell apart very
quickly. I spend a lot of time in my shop, but I don't do it for a
living anymore, so I suspect that for someone who does these gloves
wouldn't last more than a couple of weeks. Mine only lasted about two
months before the fingers started ripping through.

Anybody have any experience with any of the other brands? The Stanley
ones looked like they maybe more durable.

Regards,

Bill
