Art. 29cc, the driving glove you barely feel

Posted in
In the past few days we presented our collection for the coming season at Pitti Uomo 110, alongside the new arrivals also some of the great classics of our production. Among these, the art. 29cc driving gloves, which have always invited a simple question: do they really serve a purpose, or are they just for looks?

Driving gloves: do they actually help, or are they just for looks?

The 29cc was born from an idea that, for us, has always felt natural: one material for each task. The back is in cotton crochet, worked stitch by stitch by hand, light and airy even on the warmest days. The palm is in deerskin, soft yet full of character, perforated with small holes that let it breathe and that, together with the natural grain of the leather, keep the grip steady on the wheel in every season, whether it’s July or January.
It has short fingers and is entirely unlined, a choice that gives the hand maximum sensitivity: the crochet continues to cover the knuckles and part of the fingers even where the leather of the palm stops, leaving only the fingertips bare, in direct contact with the wheel. The cuff, barely an inch long, leaves the arm free in every movement. A small elastic on the palm side keeps the glove in place without the need to tighten anything. Those who drive a vintage car, where the wheel is often slimmer and the gesture more direct, appreciate this lightness even more: the glove follows the hand, it doesn’t hold it back.

    Art. 29cc

    130

The nappa strap on the back, fastened with a gold snap button engraved with our logo, is the model’s discreet signature: a small metal detail that only stands out on close inspection, just the way we like it. The stitching, machine-sewn with precision, speaks of a construction made to last: those who choose a glove like this know they’ll wear it for many years, and the quality of the making shows over time, not just on the first day you put it on.
We make it in different colours, from deep blue to rich burgundy, from bright orange to yellow: a palette that lets you choose the glove as a personal signature, as much as a companion for every journey.
For us, bringing a classic like this to Pitti Uomo means reaffirming that driving, lived as a passion, still has an artisan language worth turning to. The art. 29cc driving gloves remain, as they always have, our answer to anyone who wonders whether they really serve a purpose: not in words, but in the hand that wears them.
