The twelve button length leather glove, which cups the elbow, and the sixteen button length that is halfway between the shoulder and elbow. Fur lined leather gloves are also used for mens leather driving gloves. The distinctive feature of mens driving gloves is that the fit is very snug which helps to establish dexterity. Some companies feature a Cadet length for men which are made with shorter fingers.
