Genuine Military Surplus

Authentic issued gear. Built to strict combat specifications for uncompromising durability and performance.

These original Italian Army wool gloves are genuine military surplus designed for reliable cold-weather hand protection.

Cold War Military Heritage

Issued to the Esercito Italiano during the late Cold War, these gloves showcase classic continental styling. Unlike standard liners, they feature three decorative hand-stitched Paris points on the backhand. This traditional detail was a deliberate choice to maintain a smart, professional officer aesthetic for recruits and personnel during winter dress duties.

Thermal Wool-Blend Knit

The gloves are knit from a high-quality wool-blend fabric, engineered to deliver natural thermal insulation. Wool fibers naturally trap warm air close to the skin and continue to insulate even when damp in wet field conditions. The tight-knit weave prevents snagging while allowing the fabric to breathe, keeping your hands dry and warm throughout long days outdoors.

Practical Field Utility

Featuring a low-bulk design, these gloves preserve dexterity so you can handle tools or operate camp gear without stiffness. The elasticated ribbed cuffs hug the wrist to seal out freezing wind. Sourced in excellent Grade 1 condition, they are the perfect functional layer for bushcraft, hiking, or vintage casual wear.

Equip your outdoor kit with these classic Italian military gloves and stay warm on your next cold-weather outing.
