Where might I find a pair of Driving Gloves that was used in this era please.

I want to impress

Oddly enough, they are called "Motor Gloves" - https://amzn.to/46sUwpv

Re: Driving Gloves
 

Are you referring to "Gaunlets"?

Weren’t those more prevalent in the horseless carriage and Model T era in 1910’s and early 20’s? I haven’t seen any pictures of Model A drivers wearing those.

If you get mad at someone you can throw the gauntlet down.

Re: Driving Gloves
 

Haha, Good one! I wonder how many thought about what that saying actually meant?

In cold weather, I have used brown Jersey gloves for driving a long time.:)

They were a "go to" glove when I was a kid in the 1960's. Don't know how popular these were in the Model A era. The disadvantage of the Jersey glove is it is not waterproof. For driving, not an issue. Advantages is they are cheap and available most anywhere.

If one wants to "impress" I suppose a pair of gauntlet type mentioned in the above posts would be the gloves of choice.

Re: Driving Gloves
 

Now if you really want to impress your fellow Model A drivers, here are some gauntlets in the style of medieval knights. They were the first to wear gauntlets. Some metal sculpture artist really worked out to make these. I don't know who.

I happen to have an original pair that came with my Phaeton when my Dad bought it in '64... No not For Sale!

Bob, did you get their website to open? I still get "Critical Error".

Re: Driving Gloves
 

I couldn't get their website to work but in a search I found a link to their catalog. https://restorationstuff.com/wp-cont...plyCompany.pdf

Re: Driving Gloves
 

This is what I'm looking for -- the wide sleeves
Thanks

Re: Driving Gloves
 

Fitz, my original gloves have a "Grinnell Make" trademark on the wrist button if that helps any.

I like the stuff Restoration Supply has, but I despise their website.
