Men's Leather Driving Gloves

Gala Gloves men's driving gloves are crafted in Naples using the leathers best suited to grip and road feel: deerskin for softness, peccary for unmatched texture, suede for a classic look behind the wheel.

Available in half-finger and full styles, each pair is hand-stitched using techniques unchanged since 1930. Snap buttons or strap closures keep the glove securely in place at the wrist.

Gala Gloves' bond with motoring also finds expression in the partnership with the 1000 Miglia, the historic race that crosses some of Italy's most beautiful routes, from the Sorrento Peninsula to the Amalfi Coast.

For drivers who see their gloves as part of the car, not an afterthought.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are driving gloves unlined?

Most men's driving gloves are intentionally unlined to provide a second-skin feel that allows maximum control and responsiveness on the steering wheel. The unlined construction also ensures breathability, keeping your hands cool and dry during prolonged drives. Lined versions in cashmere or silk are available for the coldest months.

Which leather should I choose for driving?

Deerskin for breathability and softness that improves over time; peccary for a rare leather with distinctive pin-grain texture and feedback at the wheel; suede for a classic, matte look. All three are well suited to driving.

Half-finger or full-finger gloves?

Half-finger styles offer maximum tactile sensitivity on the wheel and gear shifts and freedom of movement for the fingers; full-finger styles protect from cold while keeping grip and control. Both versions are available in the collection.

What closure options are available?

Snap button closures for a secure, adjustable fit, and strap closures for a classic driving aesthetic. Both options ensure the gloves stay comfortably in place while driving.

What materials are used?

The collection features premium Italian lambskin, deerskin, suede, peccary and nubuck. Some models also incorporate mesh cotton or fabric details on the back of the hand for enhanced breathability and a distinctive style.

Can driving gloves be worn year-round?

Yes. The lightweight, breathable unlined design makes Gala Gloves driving gloves suitable for all seasons: they keep your hands comfortable during warm summer drives and lined cashmere or silk versions cover the coldest months. A versatile year-round driving accessory.

Men's Leather Driving Gloves

Italian craftsmanship and steering-wheel style

Gala Gloves men's driving gloves are made in Italy following an artisanal tradition that brings together care, precision and material attention. Designed for driving enthusiasts and for anyone who considers the glove an integral part of their style at the wheel, they combine selected leathers, considered construction and a fit that follows the hand naturally.

Comfort and elegance: the leathers are chosen to give a soft, second-skin feel. The light and functional design supports comfort over long drives while preserving sensitivity at the contact point with the steering wheel. Every detail is built to combine practicality and refinement, without giving up the elegance typical of Italian glovecraft.

Grip and control: driving gloves are designed to provide a natural, confident grip. Choice of leather, stitch density and glove construction work together to improve the sense of control on daily routes as well as on longer journeys.

Materials and construction

Deerskin: soft, breathable, and the leather that ages best with use, gaining character over time.

Peccary: rare and recognisable, with a distinctive pin-grain that adds tactile feedback at the wheel.

Suede: a more matte, textural surface, ideal for a classic driving look paired with tweed or wool tailoring.

Half-finger or full: half-finger styles maximise tactile sensitivity on the wheel and gear lever; full-finger styles protect from cold while keeping grip and control. Both versions are hand-stitched.

Linings, or no lining

Most driving gloves are unlined, for a closer second-skin feel and breathability during sustained driving. Lined versions are available in cashmere or silk for the coldest months: cashmere for maximum warmth, silk for a lighter, smoother feel that still slides easily over a shirt cuff.
