Underhanded
Gloves for the Bold
Our mild SoCal weather offers gorgeous days almost all year around. But this winter, it ACTUALLY feels like winter. And who are we kidding, we’re freezing our butts off. With all this rain and these chilly temps, we are piling on the layers. Sweaters, coats, scarves, beanies, and there were even a few days I thought about gloves! But if I’m going to buy a pair of gloves, they better be pretty awesome. So, I was super excited when I found Underhanded. Cute, functional, and they keep me warm! I know I know, you’re thinking “I live in Southern California, I don’t need gloves”. And while you may have a good point, having a great pair of gloves for those trips to Big Bear, Mammoth, any other place that actually has a winter, and those extra cold days here, isn’t a bad idea!
So, what is Underhanded?
Underhanded is a design driven, lifestyle glove brand led by second generation glove experts. They aim to free the glove from the mundane by elevating it to the post it deserves. A place where good design meets hard function and great fit. Their entire line of men’s and women’s styles are inspired by a love for art and sport, which they celebrate through an array of vibrant colors and prints. Each glove is cut slim for comfortable fit and features touchscreen-compatible materials woven into the palm. This rids the need of taking gloves on and off during daily routines.
