Hey Iron Horse Heads
I'm looking for some recommendations on some good makers of retro motorcycle gloves - looking for quality up there with our beloved Iron Heart.
Any recommendations would be appreciated - I'm currently looking at Grifter. MTO is a possibility as I have big hands and short fingers LOL
Thanks in advance.

I got a pair of grifter years ago when they first came out. Nothing special about them. Are you looking for short gloves or more of a gauntlet?

I got the Hawkins gloves from Ship John and love them. Not sure they would hold up to a serious crash but I've already taken a small tumble in them and they kept my hands safe. And now they have some sweet road rash on them
-
Thanks fella,
@68degreesorless - I will check those out thanks, and hey as we both know a serious crash normally means a coffin, I reckon gloves are more for a bit of road rash
@Bfd70 - thanks for your response - I was actually looking for a pair of both short and gauntlets, summer wear
@Dmart - I think we have similar tastes - I was looking at the motostukers (sp?)
THanks again

@Jase68 seems so. I like the more old school chopper style compared to the clubstyle or anything else. I can really recommend the motostucka shanks. The are by no means protective if this is what you are looking for. I don’t want to start a discussion on safety gear, I believe everybody needs to make a descision for his own here. But, if you are all for the looks, you should give them a closer look. They are quite stiff in the beginning, but will soften with wear. Don’t order them too loose since they widen a bit as all leather will.

Thanks mate! I appreciate your input and suggestion

Hey mate, been looking more at the MotoStukers - would you say they are long or short in finger length. I email the company last week with a hand tracing but no reply ::)
-
I’d say true to size? They are wider than long. The thumb could be a bit longer. I wear size L, have wide but rather short hands. The measurements worked out well. If in between I would chose the smaller size since they will widen.
Cheers mate, yeah, I have wide palms and short fingers - so it's a gamble. BTW I hope the maker isn't an 88 crew - The gloves are named after the German Stuka dive bomber and the writing is in that style??? Just seems odd??

it's nothing new. the basic concept is available to the general public for race suits. they're used predominantly in MotoGP..
