Where do I find these gentleman's chamois gloves??

Stitching, and with gauntlets folded back. Those worn by William Powell (as Philo Vance) are rough textured.

Does anyone make these??

 

[Micawber]

How about Chester Jeffries.

Nice thread, i have been looking for gloves too.
Are we talking the "dress gloves" section then?

(i like the casual look of the glove fliping up by accident on that illustration)

I think Picketts in London may stock them, although not, I think, in their online store:

Perhaps they would sell them over the telephone?

I second the recommendation for Chester Jefferies. Here's a photo from a catalog of theirs that show a pair of dress gloves that are very similar to the ones you are looking for:

My price list may be a bit out of date, but dress gloves are shown to start at $52. Good luck!

As always, try eBay for both new and vintage gloves. Also, check out British eBay: www.ebay.co.uk

I think that those are white kid, as opposed to chamois/doeskin; nice gloves, though.

Don't aero do something similar?

That's on purpose. All the gloves shown do that. It seems to have been a style. I wonder if it had a name?

I see it often in illustrations in Esquire from the '30's. From other points in the film where I grabbed those ("The Kennel Murder Case" with William Powell), the texture is a bit rough and suede like. We've had threads on this before and I think Marc identified them as chamois, but they are not easy to find in just this style.

Riding supplies

I've seen some very fine riding gloves in some of my daughter's equestrian catalogs

There's a thought. Can you throw up a link to any of the companies?

For anyone with relatively slim wrists, these might be a good deal:

Chester Jeffries made me a pair of yellow chamois gloves.

 

[nightandthecity]

fairly common on ebay uk. Often listed as womens gloves, so check male and female categories. I've sold plenty of them myself in the past.

Hard to tell from that photo at the top (combination of my monitor and eyesight, I fear!), but they look to me a lot like the gloves in Raiders? Maybe one of the Indywear specialists?

Get those eyes looked into, my friend.

Get those eyes looked into, my friend.

Yeah.... with the glasses on, those in the photo look a lot smoother.... d'oh!

 

[Feng_Li]

Get those eyes looked into, my friend.

And preferably by an attractive woman...

More gloves. There's more of a selection out there now, but still mainly the plain black ones everywhere.
