Hi Mimi, I hope all is well with you!
My order of preference for bike supplies is (1) my LBS, (2) REI, (3) other local bike shop or real bike shop that also sells online, (4) direct purchase from manufacturer's website or online bike suppliers like Competitive Cyclist.
Amazon is my last choice, for anything.
That said, I haven't bought gloves in years because the last time I found some I liked I bought four pairs of them in four different (non-black) colors. They're Pearl Izumi. I also have a pair of hi-viz pink Enduro gloves that I use as weight-lifting gloves at the gym; I got them at the LBS. I'm pretty picky about padding in gloves so I really prefer to buy them in a store where I can see them and try them on.
