Not quite the same, but as I was driving in to work this morning I happen to notice a rather large amount of people wearing gloves whilst driving (mostly men), and like yourself, I thought 'wrong un's' as well. I appreciate it's cold now, but gloves to drive in?

Just me?

Can't beat the extra purchase afforded by a good pair of string-backed driving gloves.

Driving gloves did use to be a thing back in the days of goggles and those honky horns. Not sure why modern drivers who have AC would need them, unless of course they're Partridge, in which case it's just to give that little extra purchase.

I have a pair of black leather gloves I bought from M&S around 4 years ago and they come out every year - swear by them.

They are great at keeping my hands warm and make me feel like I'm going to commit some sort of crime (I'm often just going to the shops).

I need TP, TP for my bunghole.

You should try driving a 19-year old landrover in winter when the heating's packed up!

And leather ones are the only gloves I've ever had which don't develop holes.

(Possible disqualifying factor - I'm female ...)

All depends on the rest of the ensemble, I think.

If it's combined with a leather jacket then yes, definitely a bit sex-pesty.

Beige trenchcoat, or long black coat (with or without hat), and matching leather shoes then no, it's part of the look.

True! I convinced the woman in the Co-Op that Giant Hula Hoops were part of the meal deal last week - even though they're not.

That's master levels of criminality rather than petty.

Is that a rule like double denim? You either have one leather item, excluding shoes, or you go full-gimp?
