I have a 1961 Triumph TR-3A...and needed some proper driving gloves. The gloves I got fill the bill...high quality, comfortable, and the British racing green gloves match the car! Others like them!

What's your glove size?

To determine your glove size, simply measure your dominant hand around the fullest section of the palm.

As implied by the expression “to fit like a glove,” dress gloves were traditionally worn with a relatively tight fit to appear as trim and elegant as possible. Therefore, if you are in-between sizes, we generally recommend sizing down: as the leather stretches, it will conform perfectly to your hand’s dimensions.

The Perfect Gloves for Your Perfect Auto

Drawing from the traditional colorful hues associated with sporty driving gloves, this pair comes to you in a lovely shade of bold racing red, redolent with memories of Goodwood Revival and the legacies of drivers like Jim Clark, Graham Hill, or Stirling Moss.

Although you can wear driving gloves as part of a day ensemble because they are primarily intended to enhance grip and performance and elevate your appearance while driving, you are most likely to wear your driving gloves almost exclusively while in your car.

Therefore, it can make more sense to match your driving gloves to a color in your car and not in your outfit. We suggest harmonizing your driving with the paint job on your car’s exterior or the interior color of your car’s upholstery. You can closely match these colors if desired, but oftentimes, a complementary or even contrasting color will appear more stylish.

Pair them with a classic black leather jacket and dark denim jeans for a striking contrast. For a more refined look, wear them with a tailored navy blazer and grey trousers, allowing the red gloves to be the focal point of your ensemble. These gloves also complement casual outfits, such as a white shirt and chinos, adding a pop of color and a touch of sophistication to your everyday style.

The Sand driving gloves in Lamb Nappa Leather offer a versatile and elegant option for various occasions. They pair beautifully with earth-toned outfits, such as a beige trench coat and brown trousers, creating a harmonious and sophisticated look. For a more casual approach, wear them with a denim jacket and khaki pants, blending seamlessly with the neutral tones. These gloves are also ideal for summer drives, complementing light-colored linen shirts and shorts, providing both style and comfort.

Leather Maintenance

All leathers employed by Fort Belvedere have been carefully sourced and tanned for longevity and durability, but there are simple steps that you can take to keep your gloves looking their best and feeling as comfortable as possible for years to come.

Cleaning

If a portion of your gloves gets wet, it may develop water stains. If an area of your gloves is darker than the rest after getting wet and then drying, wet the entire glove with clean water and then allow it to air dry for several days. The gloves will then be returned to their uniform appearance.

In most cases, your gloves can be washed with just clean water. If you want to use a cleanser, we suggest a dedicated glove-leather cleaner or a very mild product like baby soap or shampoo. Never use artificial cleaners.

Never wring your gloves dry. Instead, lay the gloves flat with the fingers extended on a towel and layer another towel on top to remove excess water. Then, air dry the gloves for a few days, keeping them clear of artificial heat sources like a radiator, hair dryers, and the like, because they could discolor or damage the leather.

Note that after cleaning, your gloves may feel slightly stiff. Simply wear them regularly to break them back in and they shall return to their previous softness.

Storage

After wearing your gloves, store them flat with the fingers stretched out. Never leave your gloves balled up or crumpled.

Exquisite Lamb Nappa

Lamb nappa is a type of soft, full-grain leather that is crafted from the hides of young sheep. This leather is famed for its suppleness and smooth texture, which makes it an ideal choice for luxurious sartorial accessories. Lamb nappa is not only prized for its elegance and buttery feel but also for its durability, despite being lightweight and thin. Its fine grain provides a natural uniform appearance favored by connoisseurs.

The History of Driving Gloves

During the nascent days of automobiles, driving was a cold, dirty, uncomfortable business and early motorists kept their hands clean and warm with the use of large driving gauntlets, along with heavy overcoats and goggles.

As the 20th century progressed and automobile technology improved, driving gauntlets shrank in size and became the slimmer, tighter, and more elegant driving gloves that we know and love today. These gloves were still very useful to drivers during the Golden Age of Menswear because they improved grip on the steering wheel, which was still wooden, protected the car interior from oils and sweat from the driver’s hands, and helped to regulate temperature.

Driving gloves were regularly worn by professional and amateur race car drivers during this period, but they were also worn by every day gentlemen on their daily commutes or while enjoying a pleasant ride through the countryside. To this day, driving gloves are the perfect accessory for the local speed demon or the regular commuter.

Details & Specs

Hand-Sewn Gloves

Sewn by Hungarian artisans who can only be described as glove-making virtuosos, these gloves are truly a work of art. Each pair takes hours to complete, and the clear pride that our craftsmen feel in their work is evident from the attentive detail that they lavish on every step of the sewing process.
Grippy Lamb Nappa

Italy is renowned for its artisanal leather production and its remarkable contributions to automobiles, and these gloves are an example of both of these heritages. We tested many different types of leather to find the perfect combination of delicate softness and uncompromising grip, and we found that this lamp nappa leather definitely took first place.
Two-Button Snap Closure

To ensure a perfect fit comparable to that of a bespoke glove, these Fort Belvedere driving gloves feature a two-button snap closure at the top of the wrist. This allows you to have complete control over the fit of your gloves, helping you to have complete control over your vehicle at the same time.
Perforated for Comfort

To increase comfort and breathability while in the midst of even the most white-knuckle driving, these gloves are perforated with discreet holes. These holes increase airflow, allowing your skin to breathe naturally while also wicking away moisture from sweat.
Dynamic Arrow Pattern

Knuckle holes are a common feature on many driving gloves, but unless they are custom-made, those knuckle holes rarely line up with your actual knuckles, creating a lumpy, awkward appearance. Inspired by vintage racing gloves from the 1960s, our Fort Belvedere driving gloves instead feature a handwoven arrow pattern on the back of the hand. Not only does this dashing pattern give the impression of speed and motion, it also provides additional aeration to ensure your comfort while looking exquisitely stylish.
Unlined for Performance

When the pedal is to the metal, you want as little interference between your hands, your gloves, and the steering wheel as possible. To give you the best possible driving experience, these gloves are unlined, allowing you to wear them year-round while enjoying the benefits of improved performance and exceptional grip.
