Leather Gloves “1971 Le Mans” Ultra-Patina — born to be lived in
The version Ultra-Patina "1971 Le Mans" gloves are for those who don't like new things. These gloves are made of petrol blue goatskin have received a special accelerated skating treatment which gives them from day one a lived-in, worn, authentic look — as if they had already traveled thousands of kilometers.
The Ultra-Patina process
Leather is processed manually To replicate natural wear and tear: fading at the creases, lightened friction areas, and a softened feel. Each pair passes through the hands of a craftsman who simulates years of use in just a few hours. The result is stunning and impossible to achieve artificially with a machine.
Same leather, same quality
Beneath the patina, it's the same full-grain goatskin than the classic model. Flexible, durable, with optimal sensitivity for motorcycle riding. The fitted cut at the short wrist stays true to the racing style of the 70s.
Who is the game for?
For riders who want the look of a well-used glove without waiting months for a break-in period. For those who find new stuff boring and believe that the character of motorcycle gear is measured by its scars.

The petrol blue color is absolutely stunning in person; the photos don't do this leather justice. The patina gives it a vintage look from the very first use. I wear them on my Triumph Bonneville, and the feedback is unanimous: everyone wants to know where they're from. The leather is supple yet offers good protection, and the saddle stitching inspires confidence. This is my second pair of Holdfast gloves, and certainly not my last.

Beautifully guaranteed, it has a unique petrol blue color and a very elegant patina. The shovel is morbidly resistant, perfect for long travel on the motorbike. You use it with the Moto Guzzi V7 and it's always nice. Ottima quality craftsmanship, if you leave the cura nei dettagli.

These gloves are beautifully crafted from top-quality leather. The petrol blue is original and a refreshing change from the classic black or brown. The only slight drawback is that they need a few outings to fully break in, but once they're broken in, they're a joy to wear. The patina develops beautifully over time, making each pair unique.

Hervorragende Handschuhe! The Petrol Color is einzigartig and the Ultra-Patina-Behandlung gibt dem Leder sofort einen wunderbaren Vintage-Look. Please note that the BMW R nineT, the grip and the transmission are original. Handgemacht in France, das merkt man bei jedem Detail.

This is the third pair of gloves I've ordered from Holdfast, and the quality is consistently excellent. This Le Mans model in petrol blue is stunning; the ultra-patina leather has that raw, authentic look I love. They fit perfectly in size L, and the feel on the handlebars is good despite the thickness of the leather. A truly handcrafted French product—it's a pleasure to see.
