It is now too cold to cycle without gloves. I got these royal blue leather gloves last year from Marks & Spencer with a gift voucher I had been given. I have only been using them occasionally because I was worried I would get chain oil on them. When I first got the Brompton I seemed to get spots of oil on my gloves which hid the stains because they were black leather. I was still getting use to folding and carrying the bike back then. But my black leather gloves have now split from age and use. I am reluctant to buy another pair when I have these blue ones and a pair in dark brown. I will have to wait for another voucher.

Just make sure you dry them well (although I think I'm preaching to a choir of ministers here as your blog is part-fashion) as I didn't after a the last typhoon we had. Unfortunately I also ended up forgetting about them, thus when I found them again had the pleasant task of getting rid of mould :(
Back to new again fortunately.
What are you wearing to keep you dry during the winter (would be great if you can suggest something for men other than a poncho :)
