That takes me back!
I think they're reminiscent of an era where lots of people wore gloves for varying occasions. I've got several pairs of evening gloves and some vintage summer weight ones.
I've never worn gloves for driving because i find they don't grip but I wish I could. My steering wheel is so cold in winter and flaming hot in summer  |

"About a year ago. A lover drives a douchemobile and I'll be honest, I kind of like them. Not even ashamed of that.
Much.
Do you like that tartan wool car blanket that goes over the knees too? "
Yeah, to be fair I do tend to date men in that age bracket so it's a given that the tarten blanket will probably come out before their penis does. |

I wear leather gloves in the winter & Mr cannot get his head around they’re just gloves, not driving gloves!!
My dad wore driving gloves for years! Then again, that was an era when men wore full suits for dinner abroad!!! |

Here occasionally, but mostly somewhere else |
"I used to have a lovely pair, really soft leather, and I used to wear them a lot. Sadly I lost one and I've never got round to replacing them  "
You could take up golf, so at least you'd get your money's worth from the remaining one. |

"Every winter, I have Raynaud's so I actually do have driving gloves  "
Snap. I had pair of leather string backed I was given when I passed my test, had them almost 40 years, till my ex boil washed them. They'd barely have fitted a toddler after that.  |

"I saw a pair this morning..you know, backless, holes along the fingers... Looked like little hand basques.
When was the last time you saw anyone wearing driving gloves? "
Wear them often, I don’t feel the cold like most people, can be 3 degrees outside and I will wander around in shorts and a t shirt happily, but every now and again, even in summer, my fingers get bitterly cold so have gloves in the car all the time |

Nah, she was on the way out before that! |

Probably in the 50s where they belong |

Went to holland not so long ago. Getting off the Ferry back in blighty I saw a man don a pair from a wooden box to drive his Aston Martin DB5. Ergo, they're cool if you have a DB5 or any other car with a wooden steering wheel where they are functional.
If you wear them other than this I'm afraid you need to get in the bin |

That was a man with style.  |
