Leather ‘ Shorty ’ gloves that have a story to tell

British riding style specialist Davida has extended its popular range of classic style ‘ Shorty ’ leather riding gloves with two new colourways ( tan and grey ) that have deep roots with riders of the 1950s and 1960s and influences from elsewhere in society . They have their roots in the motorcycling culture of the last century , before bike-specific gloves became widely available .
