Leather‘ Shorty’ gloves that have a story to tell
British riding style specialist Davida has extended its popular range of classic style‘ Shorty’ leather riding gloves with two new colourways( tan and grey) that have deep roots with riders of the 1950s and 1960s and influences from elsewhere in society. They have their roots in the motorcycling culture of the last century, before bike-specific gloves became widely available. Short grey leather gloves were originally created for the German Luftwaffe in the 1940s and were a popular choice for post-war European motorcyclists who obtained them through the army surplus trade. Originally produced for the early ranch workers, short tan gloves have a strong heritage within the Mid-West USA and were a favourite for many American motorcyclists in the early to mid- twentieth century. Davida owner and major league long-distance rider David Fiddaman says:“ The iconic and enduring style of the ever
