Remembering James Bond films where he cruises in a convertible wearing sleek leather driving gloves, I wanted a pair for my own car a few years ago. I held off due to the price and the fact that they’re not strictly necessary.

Recently, I bought my first convertible, and the idea returned. I wanted perforated leather gloves with a retro look, so after some online research, I narrowed it down to the Kessler Henry model.

Saffron wasn’t available at the time, so I went with cork. Available colors include saffron, cork, loden green, oak, and black. Made from peccary leather, these gloves are comfortable and soft yet durable enough to last.

The feel while driving is excellent, I even wear them for short trips. Touchscreen compatibility works decently, and they slip on and off easily. The leather quality stands out.

If you can afford quality driving gloves, I recommend the Kessler Henry for that enhanced driving enjoyment. Even if not these, get some — gloves add a real level of pleasure to the drive.
