Capeskin Gloves.

Discovered at a tack shop near Windsor Castle, actually.

Thin, strong capeskin, supple and sensitive. No need to remove gloves when fishing for toll-booth change in pocket. Excellent grip on steering wheel. Nuances of road-feel come through.

I call them “stealth” driving gloves because unlike string-backs, they can be worn outside the car without suggesting to the world that you think you're Juan Manuel Fangio; these go anywhere.

Capeskin Gloves (No. 1144) with peccary finish, for men and women. Handsome and well- tailored (gusseted thumb, 14 stitches per inch). Light elastic on underside of wrist for snug fit. Sueded interior.

Men's sizes: S, M, L, XL.

Colors: Tan, Chocolate Brown, Black.

(Capeskin: South African sheepskin, often shipped from Capetown.)
