Silverwood Leather Driving Gloves

Made in the softest cabretta leather, these unlined gloves have perforations on both the top and bottom faces and three sewn points, which give the gloves shape over the back of the hand. The light elastication on the top and bottom of the wrist removes the need for an alternative fastening whilst keeping the glove fitted snugly on the hand. The elegant full-inseam construction allows for the most sensitive contact with the steering wheel.
