Dainese Vintage Racer: this is how you do color

It’s a rare item of motorcycle gear that can be anything but solid black and still be appropriate for adults to wear. These Dainese Vintage Racer gloves do just that. I guess the trick is they don’t use much color; what they do use is vibrant and classic; it’s contrasted by black detailing and the white leather is perforated so it doesn’t look cheap. It helps too that the leather is high quality and the gloves aren’t covered in a bunch of plastic. We wouldn’t want to crash in these anywhere outside of town, but they should provide decent abrasion resistance thanks to the reinforced palm and kevlar stitching.
