New Italian Air Force Blue Knit Wool Gloves XL Italian Made Heavy Duty Fast Ship
A real piece of Italian Air Force kit, not a reproduction, made for cold hands that still have work to do. Because every finger is separate, you can leave them on while handling zips, straps and controls. The knit is thin, so it slides beneath a shell glove or stands on its own when the cold is only mild.
- Wool Knit — Wool carries sweat away from the skin and still holds heat once it is soaked through, which is more than cotton manages.
- Five Separate Fingers — Each finger has its own space, so you can grab and work gear that a mitten would force you to bare your hand for.
- Wrist Ribbing — A tighter rib band sits at the wrist, gripping the arm and closing off the opening so cold air stays outside.
- Ribbed Body — Vertical ribs let the glove stretch over the hand while the knit stays snug around each finger.
- Uniform Shade — The color is heather blue-grey, matching the Italian Air Force uniform.
- Size Marking — A small red cross-stitch on the cuff shows which issue size the glove is.
- Low Bulk — Slim enough to wear beneath a shell glove, or alone when conditions are not severe.
- Service Issue — Italy's air force, the Aeronautica Militare, handed these to aircrew and ground crews working outdoors on the line and in the field.
- Genuine, Not A Copy — Government-stores gear rather than a lookalike, and for collectors, reenactors or anyone assembling an authentic uniform, that red cuff mark is one of the giveaways.
