It's a last minute idea, so online ordering is out. I'm trying to think of anywhere local, perhaps Bed Bath & Beyond, local hardware store, anything really, I just can't think of anywhere offhand.

Suggestions?

A fine men's store which sells tuxes or rents them.

Any place that sells tuxes should have them. Try somewhere like Men's Warehouse, and they'll be pretty cheap probably.

Tuxedo shop will have them but you can save a lot by going to a costume shop.

Another brilliant idea. I'll check with Party City as well. Thanks.

$9.99 at Mens Warehouse.

Unless you're running across something like kid leather gloves at Perlis, I can't imagine they would be much different anywhere else.

If I'm wearing them for a formal dinner I will pay the extra $7 for gloves that don't look like they are for housekeeping.

The only thing that will be noticed is white gloves. If it is a one time thing, nothing wrong with going cheap.

I can't imagine it would matter much. But, the difference between $3 and $10 isn't really anything in the grand scheme of things either.

A word of warning. Allow no photographs.

That isn't nearly as funny as you might imagine. In fact it is downright offensive and will come back to haunt you when you run for POTUS.

Be sure to run your finger over the hosts table and give them a shocked look at the dust.
