FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for intense competition?

Yes, the high-quality leather offers excellent grip and feel, making them suitable for competition. Their design prioritizes both performance and a classic look.

Can I use these gloves in cold weather?

These gloves offer some warmth due to the leather, but they are not specifically designed as insulated winter gloves. For very cold conditions, consider a thicker, insulated option.

How often should I wash my riding gloves?

Wash your gloves as needed, typically when they accumulate dirt or sweat that affects grip or comfort. Over-washing can degrade the leather, so clean them only when necessary.

Will the black color fade?

High-quality leather dyes are used, but like all colored materials, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading over time. Store them away from direct light when not in use.

What does 'anti-snag' Velcro mean?

It means the Velcro closure has been designed to minimize the risk of catching on other fabrics, horsehair, or tack, providing a smoother and safer user experience.

Can I machine wash these gloves?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the delicate leather and stitching. Always hand wash in cold water.

How do I know if I've chosen the right size?

The gloves should fit snugly without being tight, like a second skin. Ensure your fingers can move freely and the wrist closure is comfortable but secure.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel stiff after washing.

Ensure gloves were air-dried slowly away from heat. Gently work the leather with your hands while dry to restore suppleness. A very small amount of leather conditioner *specifically designed for fine gloves* can be used sparingly if stiffness persists, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

Velcro closure is losing its grip.

Clean both the hook and loop sides of the Velcro with a small brush to remove any lint or debris. Ensure the glove is fully dry before re-applying the closure.

Touchscreen compatibility is not working.

Ensure the glove surface is clean and dry. Some electronic screens may have specific sensitivity settings. Check that the glove material is in full contact with the screen.

Uneven color or texture after drying.

This can sometimes occur if dried too quickly or unevenly. Gently massage the affected area to help blend the color and texture. Avoid direct heat sources in the future.
