For whatever reason - I must have seen it somewhere, or imagined it or something years ago, and had it always stick with me - I've always wanted a pair that are fingerless after the first joint on each finger, and also open to let the thumb out. The only way I can think to explain this is like a spat for the hand - https://www.medco-athletics.com/imag...cts/263906.JPG.

I must be crazy, but does such a design even exist, and who would wear it? Seems awful specific to be a figment of my imagination. I actually had just a simple deerskin model in mind, like tanned-skin gloves, nothing more.

And no, I don't know why the hell I'd want these, or what the hell I'm on just somebody, tell me I'm not making this up.

Bicycle racers have been known to wear gloves like this as have shooters. I have a black pair that I wear at the pistol range. I also wear them when hunting in cold weather.
