Like others I don't like wearing driving gloves all the time. I only do so when the weather dips in the 40-50s. I was fortunate to find a two tone leather glove while visiting Florence Italy that matches my interior. Excellent grip on the steering wheel.

The ones shown on the site have two colors but mine are solid Cognac.
They are made to order, so measurements are required.
Mine turned out perfect.
email Sylvia Bauer for assistance.
BTW, it helped that I had them make a coat for my wife also!

I too had Heinz Bauer make me a pair but unfortunately I screwed up the measurements so they're a little too big. However, I've had 3 Custom Jackets plus a Car (hunting) Coat done and they fit/work perfectly. My wife also has one of their jackets off the rack and she loves it.

Golf Gloves work like a hot damn!. This is what I use most of the time (except in really cold weather) even though I have both Porsche (from about 8 years ago) and Porsche Design driving gloves (try the Porsche Design stores/web site) which are both excellent. The golf gloves just seem to give a little better grip and of course are about 15% of the price of the P-D Gloves.

Gonna try some golf gloves. Mine tend to fit really tight, so have to see if my hands get fatigued. Also wonder how they'll wear. I go through them really quick when I golf.

I use a pair of Race Face mountain bike gloves - lightweight, grippy, and fit my largish hands extremely well.
Gloves are great in cold and warm weather - my hands can get a bit sweaty on the leather steering wheel in warmer weather, and the gloves negate this.
