★ Specialist Gloves | Chocolate Chesterfield (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

★ Specialist Gloves | Chocolate Chesterfield keep their dark leather base and quilted back even in the most worn grade. Battle-Scarred gloves have heavily faded gold trim, darkened and scuffed leather and worn fingertips and palms. Because the float range stops short of the very end, even the dirtiest copies keep the quilting readable.

Item type: gloves. Extraordinary is the gloves rarity: in cases they are the rare special item, above any weapon skin.

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The back of the hand is covered with a dark chocolate-grey leather panel quilted in a diamond grid, with small gold studs at the stitch crossings and a raised pad framed by gold piping. A small gold triangle sits near the wrist, and the cuff carries a pale gold band with dark lettering.

The gold trim is heavily faded across the cuff, piping and finger bands, and the leather is darkened and scuffed on the fingers, palm and back panel. The cuff lettering loses contrast. In game the gloves read as a dark, battered leather pair with only hints of gold. The quilted pattern stays visible because the range does not reach the dirtiest values.

The whole float range of ★ Specialist Gloves | Chocolate Chesterfield is 0.06–0.8; Battle-Scarred takes the 0.45–0.8 segment (47% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.
