By the 1920s-1930s, they evolved into a stylish accessory, with perforations for ventilation and snap closures for a snug fit. They remained practical for racing and motoring enthusiasts, providing better control and reduced hand fatigue.
Well, handling balls for a long time can provide hand fatigue too, so sometimes gloves are the perfect accessory.
