A pair of tan leather archer's gloves features three fingers and long, rectangular cuffs. Jagged-edged dark brown suede reinforces two fingers on each piece. Light-colored circular motifs, containing vertical bars or swirling patterns, dot the warm surface. Long leather straps wrap tightly around the wrists. These supple garments blend functional protection with elegant design, their soft chamois texture contrasted by light patterns and dark suede accents at the fingertips.
