Fairtex Vintage Art-Polka Dot 1854 Part of the “ART Collection” – combining characteristics of some classic art forms to create mood and tone. VINTAGE ART POLKA DOT 1854 is style that is consciously derivative or imitative of trends The pattern shares its name with the dance form, making one suspect there is a connection linking the pattern to the dance. However, the name was likely settled upon merely because of the dance’s popularity at the time the pattern became fashionable, just as many other products and fashions of the era also adopted the polka name.1 There were many other “polka” items, some of which include “polka-hats” and “polka-jackets.” Most disappeared with the fad of the actual polka dance. Only the polka dot fabric pattern remained popular, and the name has been left intact over the years. Very easy to form a fist in order to save your energy during training. Also combining some characteristic of the classic #BGV6 sparring gloves with extra padding on the palm area for maximum comfort and safety. Compact, light and consistent weight. Made from high quality microfibre which is equally as durable as leather but is lighter, smoother and does not degrade like leather does meaning less odours. Beware of fakes on the market, just because they say made in Thailand doesn’t mean they come direct from the Fairtex factory!
