Why is the compartment in front of the passenger seat of your car called the "glove compartment"?

Because not too long ago, every driver wore driving gloves – not just elegant chauffeurs and race car drivers.

The driving glove is comfortable to wear and highly flexible thanks to its sheepskin grip. Its crocheted cotton back keeps your hands snug and warm while allowing them to breathe. The tips of the thumb and index fingers are conductive, so you can operate touchscreens without taking them off. But remember: Keep your hands on the wheel while driving!

They enhance grip on the steering wheel and prevent your hands from getting tired on long drives. They protect your hands from drying out when the air conditioning blows on your ankles. They keep your hands warm on cold winter mornings and protect the material of your steering wheel from the acidic oils of your hands. And they look incredibly stylish.

So why doesn't everyone wear them?

Your guess is as good as ours.
