Anybody know where I could find such a knob? My prelimary feeble searches have produced nothing.

[EDIT] I'm looking for an all leather knob, not the stock leather band configuration.
I was going to suggest driving gloves, much cheaper and machine washable. I know it sounds cheesy, but I use it pretty much all season due to my "sweaty palm" condition. It's actually a medical condition that I have called Hyperhidrosis (Excessive Sweating ), and I use DRYSOL and it helps out a lot. I just use it now about once a month and it keeps my palm dry, but I still use my gloves, less mis-shifts, won't freeze my hand at winter or burn it at summer. I mountain bike a lot, so basically I use Schwinn gloves. It's very grippy on the palm, and has a nice big fat "S" on the back side of the glove, I kinda like that.

Ask your Doc or Dermatologist about DRYSOL. If I only had this med back in elementary, square dancing w/ girls would've been so much more enjoyable...

might check out the knob seung has.
that razo knob sucks.

i have it just because it's sooo cold and i HATE touching cold metals.
it belongs to something like 80's toyota pick up trucks.

i like JDMpress's suggestions much better.

Well, I thought the ITR only had 5 gears, and it was basically the same as the titanium 2000-2001 S2000 knob (which they later made an accessory).

You may be thinking of the JDM ITR knob (also an accessory on the USDM ITR)
The standard USDM ITR knob was different...I don't have any pics of it though

Oh yeah. But it still only has 5 gears, right?

Acura CL-S 6speed shift knob might work. It is all leather and 6speed.
