Apocalyptic Driving Gloves
Keep your hands warm, protected, and stylish while making your way through the apocalyptic wasteland. Make no mistake: these gloves will NOT unravel, although they look like they’ve been well broken-in. I’ve chosen a hand dyed yarn in a drab green color for a more authentic, worn look.
