French Army Leather Gloves

French Army Leather Gloves

These are black leather gloves issued to the French Army. They have a close five-finger cut, an extended cuff and an adjustable wrist tab. They keep your hands covered in cold or rough conditions without the bulk of a padded work glove. Soldiers, outdoorsmen, collectors and reenactors all have a use for them, and the plain black finish works with uniform or civilian clothes.

Features

• Black Leather Shell — Both the palm and back are cut from smooth-grained black leather that shapes to your hand as you wear it.
• Hook-And-Loop Wrist Tab — A leather tab on the palm side of the cuff presses onto a strip of hook-and-loop fastener, the same grip-and-release material as Velcro, so you can cinch the wrist snug or loosen it.
• Extended Cuff — The cuff runs well past the wrist and widens slightly, so it overlaps a jacket sleeve and keeps out drafts.
• Set-In Thumb Panel — The thumb is cut as a separate angled piece and stitched into the palm, which lets it bend and grip more naturally than a flat-cut thumb.
• Close Five-Finger Cut — Each finger is cut individually and close to the hand, leaving enough dexterity to work zips, buckles and straps without taking the gloves off.
• Plain Back Of Hand — The back is clean and unadorned, which suits dress or formal wear as well as duty use.
• Neat Seam Work — Fine stitching runs along the fingers, thumb and cuff edge to hold the panels together.
• Genuine French Army Issue — These gloves were made for the French military, not as a commercial fashion piece.

Original French Issue

These gloves come from French Army stocks and were built to a military pattern meant for daily wear by service personnel. The design is simple: black leather, an adjustable wrist and a long cuff, with nothing extra to snag or wear out. For collectors and reenactors that makes them an authentic piece of French kit. Anyone else gets a capable pair of leather gloves with real service origin.
