Italian Army Black Gloves

Italian Army Cotton Gloves

These black cotton gloves were made for the Italian Army. They are thin, close-fitting and plain, with a buttoned wrist and three lines of stitching across the back. That makes them a good match for uniform and formal wear, and thin enough to work as a liner under a heavier glove. Collectors, reenactors and anyone building an Italian military impression will find them useful.

Features

• Genuine Italian Army Issue — These gloves were produced for the Italian military, so you are getting original government kit with real provenance.
• Cotton Construction — The soft cotton fabric breathes well and feels comfortable against bare skin.
• Solid Black Finish — The black color is the same throughout, with matching thread, and suits dress uniforms and dark clothing.
• Buttoned Wrist Opening — A short slit at the inside of the wrist closes with a single button, so the glove goes on easily and sits snug at the cuff.
• Three-Line Stitched Back — Three rows of raised stitching run from the knuckles toward the wrist, a traditional detail on formal service gloves.
• Fitted Five-Finger Cut — Each finger is cut separately and follows the hand closely, so you keep your dexterity for handling small items.
• Thin, Lightweight Profile — The fabric is thin enough to wear as a liner under a shell or work glove when it gets cold.
• Collector And Reenactor Piece — Issued kit like this gives an Italian uniform display or impression an authentic finishing detail.

Original Issue Pattern

The gloves follow a simple, traditional pattern: a cotton body, a single dark button closing a slit at the wrist, and three stitched lines on the back of the hand. The pattern has no padding, leather palm or grip coating. It is a light cotton glove meant for wear with uniform. Because the gloves were built to the Italian Army's own requirements, they offer the authenticity a commercial dress glove cannot.
