1971 Le Mans Motorcycle Gloves — Green Patina Vintage Racing

Some years mark motorsport history. 1971 is one of them. That year, at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Helmut Marko and Gijs van Lennep wrote the legend at the wheel of a Porsche 917 — a dance of pure mechanics and pilots in patinated leather. These 1971 Le Mans motorcycle gloves bring that era to your hands today: deep green, copper-ochre racing stripes, and the natural leather patina that defined the codes of historic racing.

The Le Mans heritage

The 1971 race remains one of the most iconic in motorsport history. The 917 Porsche became a legend for its 240 mph straight-line speed on the Mulsanne straight. These gloves are a tribute to that moment when men and machines wrote history in oil and leather.

For chopper, bobber and cafe racer riders

Although named after a racing year, these gloves are designed for everyday riders. The vintage cut works equally well with a chopper, a bobber or a cafe racer. Available in black and red patinas — the green is the most distinctive.

Hand-aged in Marseille

Every pair of Hold Fast gloves is finished by hand in our Marseille atelier. The patina effect is unique to each glove — no two pairs are identical. That’s the value of a real artisanal product.
