Default Wanted: fullgrain leather glove with terry back, semi-insulated

I'm looking for a glove that's semi-insulated with fullgrain leather
palm and XC reinforcement areas and terrycloth back. Ideally non-black.
Like a glove I had, oh, 5-10 years ago and haven't seen since, of
course. Full-grain leather is shiny and breaks in wonderfully and
resists water and LASTS a long time.

Any leads?

I just bought a pair of fairly thin Rossi semi-tour xc gloves. The
snot-factor back is good but the synthetic suede palm scares me
already---a drop of water soaks in instantly and spreads. Gulp!

Jeff,
Have a look at Pearl Izumi. I love the leather palms on the gloves they
make..

Hi Jeff,
The P.I. gloves I had took six years to wear out and that includes
stacking wood in the fall and every other abuse. I finally stopped
using them becuase the knap was really down to nothing and they are
starting to come apart.
I still have them and use them as work gloves.

They may or may not be what you what but P.I. is a brand you can trust
and is always money well spent
