A carpincho leather palm with a crochet top — the warm-weather driving glove, made in several colours.
Carpincho comes from the capybara and carries a fine, evenly dotted grain. It is soft, pliable and notably good at grip, which is why it has a long history as a driving glove leather. It adapts to the hand rather than stretching out of shape. Like peccary it is a wild hide with limited supply, but less widely known — which makes it the quieter choice.
The palm holds the wheel and takes the wear; the crochet back lets air through, which is what makes this pair wearable on a long drive in the warm months.
Currently stocked in burgundy, green and brown. We can also make them in cognac, or in any other colour we can source.
Each pair is hand-cut and hand-sewn in our workshop in Târgu Mureș, Transylvania.
