It allows for control (plus I can fill out a credit card slip) and my hands don't get torn up.<br /><br />*Cuz the PETARDS doesn't hate us enough already...Lisa Deonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10619574582795102959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138993497339296072.post-63519308144124693682009-05-05T10:15:00.000-06:002009-05-05T10:15:00.000-06:00In his book 'Hints on Driving', Captain C Morley K...In his book 'Hints on Driving', Captain C Morley Knight recommends dog skin gloves, two sizes too large, as the ideal driving gloves. Apparently dog skin doesn't get slimy in wet weather and oversize gloves, once they shrink up a bit and get broken in, are warmer and don't interfere with circulation. Knight drove a hansom in London in the 1800's. He also has some really interesting observations, and how to's, for professionals- or those who wish to cut a figure like one. As I recall I picked up a reprint of his book at Callister's. They don't carry dog skin gloves though.Sagebrusheqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05490175290841527388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138993497339296072.post-69206892891475461082009-05-04T12:05:00.000-06:002009-05-04T12:05:00.000-06:00Looks great you guys way nice ride there Ro Love ...Looks great you guys way nice ride there Ro Love the ducks pic.

Keeps me as warm as I need to be.<br /><br />Somebody should make a movie that has carriages in it. Ooh! How about a wild carriage chase--have to run into a fruitstand or two. Very handsome rides.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
