Jim Clark Leather Driving Gloves
Over 40 years after his tragic death, Jim Clark is still recognized as one of the greatest drivers of all time. It was his delicate fingertip control, separated only by his gloves that made him a fierce competitor behind the wheel. Special gloves were made to Jim Clark's specifications back in the mid 60s and are perhaps the best fitting gloves ever made. With the original patterns and manufacturer long gone, I've recreated copies from the original gloves I have in my collection. The leather is thin, yet durable, capable of withstanding the stress of high-performance driving, while delivering all of the sensitivity to your fingertips with every turn of the wheel. Ventilation holes keep your hands cool while black elastic ribbing assures a great fit. Clark's own "JC" monogram is embroidered on the top of the glove and a nice pearl-style snap secures at the wrist. The vintage inset photo above shows Clark pulling these gloves off after completing a race. Sewn exclusively for us by a master glove maker in a 250 year-old farm house near London, England. Available in S, M, L, and XL. A limited number were made so order now as I suspect these will sell out by Christmas. Makes an heirloom gift for someone special.
