Here we have a very smoky pair of smoky Buell gloves. They're a smoky size large and stink of smoke. Good condition but very smoky. I presume the previous owner was a smoker and their house absolutely fucking stinks of smoke, or they smoked while riding, with both hands, so now they stink of smoke.

Not sure how old they are, but it must have taken decades of smoking to get them to smell this bad. Being Kevlar probably helped them not catch fire.

Collection from Surrey, or posted for £5 but comes with free smoke smell. (Make sure you come by bike and hang them off the back to air them off, or by convertible car).

ps. They stink of smoke.

(AI told me that) The smoky smell in blue leather dye isn't directly from the dye itself, but rather from the tanning and finishing processes. Tanning agents, like those used in some vegetable tanning methods, can contribute a smoky aroma. Additionally, some finishes or waxes applied to the leather can also impart a smoky scent. The leather's porosity can also trap and retain these smells, making them more noticeable.

OK, we've established the smoke thing.
But, do you have pets?
