The Sterling Men's Driving Gloves in French Nappa Lambskin

The Hamerli glove house in Pécs, Hungary, traces its origins to 1861. These driving gloves are cut from French Nappa lambskin in Tabac, a tobacco-toned brown that earns its patina honestly with every wear. Unlined, because the moment you introduce a lining you lose the very thing that makes a driving glove worth wearing — that raw, immediate feel of leather against skin against wheel. Over 50 stages of handcrafting, six to eight artisans per pair. Comes in Hamerli's own distinctive packaging. Ships to Australia.

The Sterling Men's Driving Gloves in French Nappa Lambskin

##Handmade in Pecs, Hungary Hamerli's facilities are located in the cultural quarter in Pecs. In the city of Pecs, this is a traditional glove production with a history of more than 150 years; it has preserved its philosophy and classical procedures. Different artisans work on different parts of the gloves, the ornaments, the cutters, the stitching phase, the stretching phase, the pressing phase, the lining phase, the ironing phase, and so on... so at least 6-8 people have to work on each pair, depending on the glove in the making. Traditional glove-making in Hungary originated in the 19th century, when pioneer János Hamerli established his manufacture in 1861, introducing noble craftsmanship to the country. During his professional education as a tawer, János Hamerli improved his knowledge at great couturiers of Europe, acquiring developed artisanal techniques. After he founded his manufacturing facility, his gloves were in high demand internationally. He opened shops in Pécs, Budapest, and Vienna as well. János Hamerli built up a base for an acclaimed profession in Hungary and with time, his legacy evolved into a blooming industry. His name today symbolizes authentic glove-making, providing pieces of the highest quality. Committed to the art of glove-making, Hamerli remains faithful to János Hamerli's legacy. Noble materials, passionate craftsmen, and outstanding know-how are vital parts of their traditional manufacturing process, ensuring the excellence of each of their products - both the ones adorned with the infamous Hamerli brand and other pairs made for other high luxury brands. A pair of Hamerli is a fine work of art created by proud artisans. The complex, traditional handcrafting process, almost unchanged throughout centuries, includes more than 50 separate stages through which an exclusive masterpiece is born.
