FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for extreme cold?

While the wool lining provides good warmth, these gloves are primarily designed for everyday use in moderate to cool weather. For extreme cold or prolonged exposure to freezing temperatures, heavier-duty insulated gloves might be more appropriate.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart, which typically involves measuring the circumference of your hand. Ensure a snug but comfortable fit, as leather will stretch slightly over time.

Can I wash these gloves?

No, these gloves should not be machine washed or submerged in water. Cleaning should be done with specialized leather and suede care products.

What is the main difference between the suede and lamb nappa leather used?

Suede has a soft, napped finish providing a textured look, while lamb nappa leather is smooth, supple, and generally more durable. Both are used in these gloves for aesthetics and function.

How long will the wool lining last?

The wool lining is durable and designed for longevity. With proper care, it should maintain its warmth and comfort for many seasons.

Can these gloves be worn for sports or heavy-duty work?

These gloves are designed for style and everyday comfort, not for strenuous activities or heavy-duty work. The materials are best preserved with lighter use.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel stiff

This is common with new leather. Wear them regularly; the leather will naturally soften and mold to your hands. You can also use a small amount of leather conditioner specifically for nappa leather.

Suede appears matted or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap. For stubborn marks, consult a professional leather cleaner.

Wool lining is itchy

Sometimes wool linings can feel slightly rough initially. Wear the gloves with a thin liner or allow them to break in, as the wool may soften with use.

Leather is drying out

Apply a high-quality leather conditioner to the leather portions of the gloves according to the product instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These gloves require no setup or complex compatibility checks, as they are a wearable accessory. To maintain their quality and appearance:

  • Cleaning: Use specialized leather care products designed for suede and nappa leather. Avoid water saturation. For minor marks on the suede, a suede brush can be effective. For the leather parts, a leather conditioner can help maintain suppleness.
  • Storage: Store the gloves in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from drying out or the suede from fading.
  • Protection: Be mindful of exposure to heavy rain or snow, as moisture can stain suede and affect the leather's integrity. Consider a water-repellent spray specifically formulated for leather and suede for added protection.
