Rabbit Fur Line gloves

Postby BrisZX9R » Sun Aug 31, 2008 9:25 pm

back in the 70'2 and 80's my dad had a pair of Rabbit Fur lined motorcycle gaunlet gloves... then if my memory serves my right, I trashed them.. oops... anyway I want to get him another set as a sort of sorry.

Does anyone know where I can get a pair from? I've googled and only found "driving" and casual fur lined gloves. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah, I think you'd be hard pressed getting anything like that as a standard manufacturing line these days.

Just go for a ride through Blanchview, near Toowoomba. Counted 5 dead bunnies through there last week. Instant glove material! :P

Actually I bought a pair of said gloves from an outdoor shop in cooma last time I did the snowies, combined with a glove liner they're damn fine and supposedly water"proof" too.

Fur lined gloves sounds like something the local porn shop might have :shock:
