TEXAS EVO

Posted by david@ukiyo |

Bet on 5, again.

The Texas has always gotten people talking… Like a misunderstood star, it was adored by the public and the press, but “industry professionals” set it aside a bit too quickly because they didn’t believe in it, contributing to its disappearance. Due to constant popular demand, we are now proud to announce the return of this style to the spotlight. And so, we present the Texas Evo, an evolved version that’s affordable, sure to please just about everyone, and be just as alluring as it ever was. Though it may look like a “golfer”, it’s actually inspired by the golden age of motorsports, when a few Hollywood stars took part in competitive races behind the wheel (or handlebars) of racing machines. In 100% ultra-supple cowhide leather with external stitching, we choose it for its lightweight comfort, its 5 patch that reminds us of a numberplate, its vintage look, and its irresistible colors. Despite its vintage look, it manages to keep up with the times, to the point of featuring the Touch Screen™ system on the index finger AND thumb, so you can make optimal use of your smartphone’s camera function. Nothing could be better for stylish, trend-conscious riders. So if you’re ready to play, bet on number 5. It’s sure to come up a winner.

 

  • Full-grain cowhide leather topside construction, including the top of the hand and the thumb in perforated leather
  • Full-grain cowhide leather palm 
  • External stitching on the fourchettes for greater comfort
  • Embroidered patch with the number 5
  • Velcro wrist closure
  • Touch Screen™ system on the index finger and thumb
  • CE Level1

XS-07 / S-08 / M-09 / L-10
XL-11 / 2XL-12 / 3XL-13

SCRAMBLER

Posted by david@ukiyo |

The mark of distinction for Scrambler aficionados.

In the 1920s, the term “scrambler” was used in England to designate races on dirt tracks, the forerunner of motocross. This term would be taken up in the U.S. in the 1950s and ‘60s to refer to a road motorcycle with off-road ambitions. Today, a Scrambler is a motorcycle (new or vintage) with a stripped-down vintage look that can ride on and off the asphalt. And now, it signifies a glove from our Custom collection devoted to fans of this type of machine, or simply their signature style. It opts for a clearly pared-down, “customizable” look, with its distinctive, interchangeable velcro patches. True comfort is reflected in its stretch, ventilated topside construction in Twill Span and palm in Nash synthetic leather. It offers marvelous grip on the handlebars, and its brown color beautifully contrasts with the rest of the glove. Perforated, supple, durable goat leather adorns the outer fingers and wrist of the glove. Protection is also assured by several foam reinforcements placed around the most exposed zones, which has allowed this glove to obtain a CE level 1 certification. The Scrambler offers vintage charm with a unique, modern touch. It even features the Touch Screen™ system on the index finger for handling device screens… Further proof that you can be inspired by the past but live at today’s pace.

 

  • Twill Span stretch topside construction 
  • Nash synthetic leather on the palm
  • Construction that includes perforated goat leather on the ring and pinky fingers and wrist
  • Interchangeable velcro patches (delivered with 3 patches)
  • Velcro wrist closure
  • Touch Screen™ system on the index finger 
  • CE Level 1

IOWA 66

Posted by david@ukiyo |

The quintessential custom glove.

The IOWA 66 is designed to reflect the very essence of a custom-vintage glove. Fans of custom style sometimes convert work gloves for riding use, but the problem is that they don’t fulfil any of the essential characteristics needed when driving a motorcycle, either in terms of comfort or safety. FIVE now offers a style inspired by these gloves that are highly popular with custom addicts yet featuring specs that are unique to steering a two-wheeled vehicle. And this makes all the difference. Crafted in particularly durable full-grain cowhide that offers a suppleness that’s rare for this type of glove, the IOWA 66 stands out from the pack with its extreme comfort and a fit that’s head-and-shoulders above the rest, notably due to its thumb construction inherited from our experience in racing. Beneath its seemingly minimalist appearance, it features all the best that FIVE has to offer in terms of quality fit and control sensitivity, as well as the attention to detail typical of our designs. Everything has been envisioned for this apparently minimal glove to offer you maximum enjoyment (and authenticity) when you’re at the controls.

 

  • Full-grain cowhide construction (topside and palm) for durability, while offering major suppleness
  • Intentional patinated effect
  • External stitching on the fingers for enhanced comfort
  • 3 top-stitches on the metacarpals
  • Engraved FIVE Gloves Custom logo 
  • Thumb construction that avoids wrinkling on the palm
  • Leather and Velcro® tab closure
