Try these -- they're very distinctive, and great if you're bold and have a red car (or silver with red interior), or any color, for that matter.

We're not working on gloves, at least for now.

I use a pair of yellow sparco racing gloves (to match the car) and also because I use it for my track and autocross events.

Caution! Geek alert!
If you use driving gloves beacuase your hands get cold, that is almost understandable.
However, if you are wearing driving gloves as a fashion accessory, there is
a very good chance that you are a geek. Proceed with caution.

Try holding the Ti or Al shift knob after the car has been in the sun all day or in the winter cold all day/night. Or if like me you have sweaty palms syndrome... you may need to have better grip of the steering around those cloverleaf ramps.... Besides, why should anyone care what others think?

That is a very true statement and I stand corrected. I also humbly apologize.

Know what works well? I bought some...

Batter's gloves. As in baseball.

Leather on the palms, mesh stuff on the top (nice breathability), and a good, tight fit. They're awesome, and cheap.

Went to a work supply store and bought a pair of tight fitting field hand fencer's gloves. Thin leather, good fit, heat and cold resistant. At $22 Canadian, can't be beat.
If it gets colder, buy the lightly insulated ones. I used those with my old car through several North Alberta winters, till they finally wore out in the Arctic.
