    Driving Gloves

    After seeing a photo of Wasbi wearing gloves on his drive down to Boston I felt compelled to add mine. Having been born and raised in New England it is de rigor that you have gloves in the Cah!
    A couple of mine.
    Fingerless for the summertime. Out here with temps well over 100°F my hands sweat profusely and every surface you touch is blistering hot!

    And being the proper British Racing Green Gentleman Driver, I present the iconic driving glove. Dents of England string back driving gloves.
    These were worn by all Grand Prix and gentleman drivers in the 50's and 60's.

    An action picture.

    The Chronograph in photo #2 is from LL Bean, 1990. (Typical New Englandah!)

    I've got some Fratelli Orsini's.



    I wear them 90% of the time I drive Betty.

    Very cool ,indeed! They just "go" with the wood wheels, and tan interiors. Thanks for sharing

    Leather gloves are so nice. If I had a more vintage-y car I'd be all over them.

    But I don't, so I use these Des Speed x Make An Wake Of Art RYO gloves, which are super duper nice

    All three choices are excellent. Gloves made out of Peccary leather are the finest and most rugged glove you will find. Shame about the price! The Bionic gloves are very good. I've two friends on the Metropolitan Police Dept. And that is what they wear and swear by them.
    Take a look at this company in England. I have my gloves made by them.

    About 6wks turnaround time depending on the season and reasonable prices for Bespoke gloves.

    A lot of gloves seem to have excess length in the thumb and little finger. What I do is dip those fingers, not the whole glove, in water and dry them in the sun. The leather will shrink to fit. A little leather cleaner and conditioner will make them nice and soft.

    Very nice.
    How is the camera fastened in the beginning of the movie?
    What is the small red bulb to the left on your center console?

    I went with the Ines gloves; should be here within a week. I'll post a review once I have some time with them.

    I mounted the GoPro camera to the driver's side window. I used the GoPro car mount (suction cup) to attach it. It's very strong, but I keep a safety line attached, just in case, when I use it outside the car.

    The small red bulb on my console is left over from an alarm system that I have since removed. I'm pretty sure it would flash when armed.
