Do you use driving gloves for street driving?

Sent mine to Goodwilll with my Members Only Jacket and Sergio Valente Jeans.

Yep. I have fingless gloves for summer and full fingered for spring/fall. They go well with my driving hat and scarf.

I know at least one driver on this Forum who uses driving gloves (fingerless type) and he is a very good driver. I will not mention names.

I don't really see a need for driving gloves (street driving) unless you have an issue with extreme sweating. I think they are a bit 'cheesy'. Seems like it's living up to the stereotype of a Porsche driver - wearing a Porsche logo hat, driving gloves and penny loafers.

In all seriousness I did buy them because I get hot very quickly when its above 75 degrees. I'm a cold weather person through and through.

Hi,

Whoa.... Hold on there... I LOVE my Hand Made Mephisto Spinnaker Penny Loafers!

Next to my Piloti DTMs, they're maybe the most comfortable shoes I own, and I own a LOT of shoes...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
