You must have big cajones. Just asking the question once leaves you wide open to ridicule. Now you've gone and done it twice! lol

Pratt and Hart, Riparo, make some nice gloves and I also get emails from Dents here and there and the gloves they make are nice.

My bmw x5 steering wheel is a bit used up, but if I had the Jag F type (planning on an R or XKRS by end of year) I'd wear gloves for a bit to keep the steering wheel from degrading.

When your cajones are big enough ridicule makes them grow bigger.

An informative answer, thank you.

Then get leather paddle covers instead.

They'd be nice, but wouldn't do the same job. Has anyone considered them?

Allow me to write what many here are undoubtedly thinking: that watch can do some serious damage to the finish on your car. I’m sure you’re accustomed to wearing it while detailing...but, still.

I do like the band though.
Can't read to see if it's a Breitling.
Also can't read the glove button for brand.

I can't quite read the watch brand, but the glove button says "Dents".

Apparently, they sell the James Bond gloves from "Spectre"

They may be "the" glove for the Jaguar owner (Dents identified by Tel in earlier post):

Is there a distinction between driving gloves and choking gloves worn by ordinary rapists.

Perhaps we can get Jay to have this company sponsor the Blast drivers:

@Q&C; I don't believe that Aris Isotoner (maker of glove associated with the subject crime) makes a driving glove. Would not recommend driving gloves for said deed as they have ventilation openings, do not cover wrist and have sometimes open knuckle. Too much DNA exchange potential.

FYI for you BRG color owners, Dents makes a BRG driving glove. Could be a proper accessory especially for a vert owner with a brogue or tan interior. Maybe even if you don't use them, would set off your vert if conspicuously stored in open.
