Jeff, Angel, and all,
These Dromartis may be very nice gloves but aren't they off-topic?
They do not look like anything I ever saw in a bike shop during the 1960s or 1970s....
Jon Spangler highly skeptical of any cycling gloves priced over $35 regardless of the vintage - and suspecting fraud or extortion at over $100/pair - in Alameda, CA USA

British cyclists, notable for their economic ways would probably buy just one pair for the Club, all wear them for one day to get their hands 'redded', then it would look like they had all spent $153 to look up-to-the-minute on Club runs. They would complain if non-staining leather was used. and I guess the answer is that if they are gloves made from expensive leather, the dye may well be 'traditional' and subject to a certain amount of 'seepage'. Do they make a matching ski-mask ? John Purser Sudbury, England

Betraying my ignorance of the various ways one might color leather, I ask: is there any way those don't turn your hands bright red for at least a hundred rides?
