Let Adeline bring out the inner racer in you. The classic driving glove. Soft as sin leather, sensually unlined with snap fastening and perforations. Vroom. Easy Driver! (Also great for just popping out to the shops.)
Wrist Length. 2 inch glove. This is measured from where the thumb seam meets the wrist, to the opening of the glove.
Ethiopian Cabretta leather, derived from the highland hair sheep of Ethiopia’s pristine plateaus, is revered as the world’s finest glovemaking material. Its unparalleled softness, achieved through the hide’s fine grain and natural suppleness, drapes the hand like a second skin, while its remarkable durability ensures timeless elegance. Expertly tanned using age-old techniques, this leather offers a flawless balance of breathability and grip, making it the choice of connoisseurs for gloves that embody sophistication and precision.
The more you wear them, the better they look. That’s why leather gloves aren’t just accessories — they’re something personal. They soften with your every movement, remember your shape, and gain character over time. They don’t ask for much, just that you handle them with care, not control.
A mark or a bit of weather isn’t a tragedy — it’s part of the story. But when they need your help, leather gloves respond best to time and restraint. No rubbing, no shortcuts, and certainly no heat.
Forget conditioners and quick fixes. To lift a mark, dust on a touch of talcum powder, smooth it with a dry cloth, and leave it be for a couple of days. If your gloves get wet, blot gently, reshape them softly, and let them dry at their own pace — away from the radiator, the sun, or any artificial heat.
Apply talcum powder over marks with a dry cloth. Leave for 48 hours, then dust off gently. If wet, blot carefully, reshape, and air dry naturally. Never fold or store while damp.
If your gloves become stiff, lose their shape or develop persistent stains, a leather care specialist can restore their structure and surface without compromising their character.
Handmade in Naples, Italy

The gloves, if you will pardon the expression, fit like a glove! The leather is supple and soft, and the color sumptuous. It is a pleasure to slip my hands into them!

Exceptionally high quality made for surprise occasion. Very soft leather, with very close match to the actual hand measure (perfect for us). Deep green leather colour. Warm inside. Have put a very wide smile on the face of my loved one.

As a first-time customer, I am truly impressed. I have mostly worn gloves sewn in Hungary and Italy, and my main concern was the size since I am between sizes. Italian gloves, as many of you know, are a little on the bigger side (I wear Italian 6), and the Hungarian gloves are often a bit tighter (I wear Hungarian 6,5). My CJ gloves are 6,5 and they fit accurately. Needless to mention, I am very glad to have them for several reasons: the cut, the texture, and the exquisite colours. Thank you!

This is my first order, and I was more than pleasantly surprised. I am impressed with the care that was taken in the packaging. The workmanship is extremely great. The sizing chart made it easy to decide the correct size to order. I ordered the Sapin. They are exceptionally smooth, buttery leather. I look forward to ordering again.
