Looking for some new mitts, either full leather or leather palmed with a bit of a retro look. Any suggestions other than rapha gt?

I'm sure Gore do a leather look pair? Not sure if they're what you're after though0

These are quite good and very reasonably priced - I have two pairs of the all leather classic gloves already and a pair of the black long fingered gloves on order.

Dromarti do some expensive but good retro stuff, but their website seems to be locked onto their shoes and won't display mitts at the moment.
This blokes found a few alternatives.

I have a pair of the Rapha GT and I didn't find them comfortable during warm days - my hands got too warm (not likely to be a problem in UK for quite some time!).
I got a pair of the Rapha classic mits which have leather palms and fabric to the remainder. I found these to be ideal after a few rides to let them stretch a bit when they became a perfect fit. These are the ones I'd have no hesitation to recommend - provided you can get them on sale!

I had issues with the robustness of my Rapha GT gloves - they replaced them no issue but no reason to think the next pair will be better.ROAD < Scott Foil HMX Di2, Volagi Liscio Di2, Jamis Renegade Elite Di2, Cube Reaction Race > ROUGH0

And nowhere near as good. The back rips easily because the leather is far too thin, the palm has too much padding and they stretch too much. I didn't like them.

My one note of caution is the reason I have two pairs of the classic mitts, is the first pair I had started to come unstitched along one of the seams between two fingers after a couple of months. I emailed them about it and they immediately dispatched me a 2nd pair no questions asked. The 2nd pair fitted better and seem more robust, which makes me think they may have had a few QC issues when they were starting out and I got a duff pair first time around.Flasher wrote:Graeme_S wrote:These are quite good and very reasonably priced - I have two pairs of the all leather classic gloves already and a pair of the black long fingered gloves on order.

So great price, great product, great service, but possible quality control issue, although may well be long resolved by now!0 -
Specialized do a pair named '74 which you can get in black or white:

I have the white ones and they're pretty good.“Training is like fighting with a gorilla. You don’t stop when you’re tired. You stop when the gorilla is tired.”0 -
These aren't a classic looking pair but they are very comfy and not a bad price at the moment!
