These leather gloves are made by Buzz Rickson's, a brand that thoroughly analyzes the spinning and weaving of yarns, fabric materials, parts, and form to bring classic military wear, including flight jackets, back to life in the modern era.
These leather gloves, known as A-10 gloves, are a reproduction of the winter gloves first adopted in 1938 for U.S. Army Air Corps pilots.
They offer moderate warmth and a comfortable fit, and they coordinate well with flight jackets and other outfits, making them popular with a wide range of people.
The main leather used is horsehide.
The strong horsehide will develop wrinkles and a richer texture with use, becoming more comfortable in the hand.
The lining is made of 100% wool knit, which feels smooth against the skin and provides excellent warmth.
The wrist is fitted with a tube-knit wool knit for a comfortable fit.
Don't miss the small reproduction touches you'd expect from Buzz Rickson's, such as the Army Air Corps insignia printed on the back of the hand and a spec label stitched on all four sides of the ribbing.
Reinforcing leather patches have been sewn in to prevent stretching with use, and three stitches have been applied to the back of the hand to reduce stretching of the leather and maintain a comfortable fit, making this a genuine military spec.
The stitching around the fingers, palm and back of the hand requires advanced sewing techniques, and is meticulously sewn over a long period of time.
