FAQs

Are these gloves waterproof?

These gloves are made from real sheepskin, which offers natural water resistance but is not fully waterproof. They are best suited for cold, dry weather. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by the retailer. Generally, you would measure the circumference of your palm and the length of your hand to determine the best fit. Ensure a snug but comfortable fit, as sheepskin can offer some give.

Can I machine wash these gloves?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the sheepskin and the construction. Cleaning should be done by hand with a soft cloth or by a professional leather cleaner.

How long will the sheepskin last?

With proper care and maintenance, including occasional conditioning and appropriate storage, genuine sheepskin gloves can last for many years, providing consistent warmth and comfort.

What is the 'turn-up cuff' feature?

The turn-up cuff is a stylish fold-over section at the top of the glove that provides extra warmth around the wrist and adds a fashionable element to the design.

Are these gloves suitable for very cold temperatures?

Yes, sheepskin is known for its excellent insulating properties, making these gloves very suitable for combating frosty winter days and cold temperatures.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight

Sheepskin can stretch slightly with wear. Try wearing them for short periods initially. If still too tight after several wears, consider if a larger size is needed, as significant stretching is unlikely beyond initial break-in.

Leather appears dry or stiff

Apply a small amount of sheepskin or leather conditioner with a soft cloth and allow it to absorb. Repeat if necessary. Ensure they are not being stored in overly dry conditions.

Surface marks or scuffs

For minor marks, try gently buffing with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher marks, a specialized leather cleaner might be required; test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid abrasive materials.

Color transfer to hands or clothing

This can occasionally happen with dark-dyed leather, especially when new or if exposed to moisture. Ensure gloves are dry and consider a protective spray for the inside if the issue persists.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the quality and longevity of your sheepskin gloves, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For more significant cleaning, it is best to consult a professional leather cleaner. Avoid harsh detergents or soaking the gloves in water.
  2. Drying: If the gloves become damp, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can dry out and crack the leather.
  3. Conditioning: Periodically, especially after cleaning or if the leather feels dry, use a specialized sheepskin or leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Apply the conditioner sparingly with a soft cloth.
  4. Storage: Store the gloves in a cool, dry place, ideally in a breathable bag. Avoid storing them in plastic, as this can prevent the leather from breathing. Reshape them before storage if necessary.
