Let's bitch about GLOVES

I have a hole in one of my (black, wool) gloves.  I decided: today's the day, those sad gloves are getting replaced.  Thing is: could I find any just plain wool gloves, ones that weren't $46 and equipped with "touchscreen" pads and EMP-repellent and the like?  NO!  Went to TJ Maxx and two actual department stores.  I was willing to pay about 25 bucks, if necessary, but now, eff it!, am going to be BURIED in my holey ones.
