Notice — Photos depict gloves with a snap closure; the final gloves are Velcro instead.
You know them in an instant — the fingerless, knuckle-less gloves of an anti-hero. Worn by none other than a shady henchman, a "driver", or just a guy who really, really likes trench coats in the big year 202X. We won't judge.
"There's a hundred-thousand streets in this city. You don't need to know the route. You give me a time and a place, I give you a five minute window. Anything happens in that five minutes and I'm yours. No matter what. Anything happens a minute either side of that and you're on your own."

Whether you're trying to clone the vibe of Ryan Gosling in Drive (you're literally him) or capture the spirit of a bandit from the STALKER series, we've made these gloves to fill an odd gap in the market where there seems to be no quality gloves of this style.
We opted for a high-quality goat leather, a timeless look & fit, and a snap closure to give it that timeless retro look. It's hard-wearing, easy to take care of, and we guarantee you'll be getting comments like "wow, you must drive with gloves like that. do you drive? I bet you drive." And then, adorned with the new power of your KommandoStore leather gloves, you'll be able to slyly reply:
"...Yeah."

Care Guide
As these gloves are genuine goat leather, there's a few general tips we have for you to fit, wear, and enjoy your gloves.
For leather, water and oil/grease is the enemy, and keeping it out is as easy as re-conditioning them. Spot clean them with water and mild soap (like saddle soap) when needed and remove excess dirt. Dirt can cause additional abrasion on the gloves as well as wick away moisture from the gloves, making them less supple. For oil stains, use baking soda. Re-condition as needed but especially after washing with your favorite leather conditioner. Since these gloves are black, you likely won't notice any major "darkening" from conditioning.
ALWAYS air dry or line dry, NEVER use a dryer or excessive heat. Avoid harsh chemicals and bleaches as all of these will damage the leather.
Leather gloves like these may need some time to properly "Break in". Our recommended process is to put them on, soak them in lukewarm water while wearing them. Make a fist shape with your hands if they need to stretch out a bit. Naturally over time the gloves will curve to your hands, but this accelerates the process. As always, re-condition after contact with this much water.
