FAQs

Are these mittens suitable for extreme cold?

These mittens offer excellent warmth for typical winter conditions due to natural sheepskin and shearling. For extreme cold or prolonged exposure in freezing temperatures, they provide good protection, but may not be sufficient for very harsh environments without additional layering or specialized gear.

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

The best fit is snug but not constricting, allowing for natural hand movement. If possible, consult a sizing chart provided by the manufacturer based on hand measurements. A proper fit ensures optimal warmth as it allows the insulating air pockets to work effectively.

Can I machine wash these mittens?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the natural sheepskin and wool lining, potentially causing shrinkage or loss of shape. Spot cleaning and gentle air drying are the preferred methods for care.

How long will these mittens last?

With proper care and maintenance, genuine sheepskin mittens can last for many winters. The durability of the sheepskin suede exterior and the natural resilience of wool contribute to their longevity.

What is the difference between sheepskin and shearling?

Sheepskin refers to the hide of a sheep, while shearling is sheepskin with the wool still attached. In these mittens, the sheepskin forms the outer shell, and the shearling (wool lining) provides the insulation.

Are these mittens waterproof?

The genuine sheepskin suede is naturally somewhat water-resistant, and the wool lining provides insulation even if damp. However, they are not fully waterproof and prolonged exposure to heavy rain or snow may saturate the material. Consider a specific suede waterproofing treatment for increased protection.

Troubleshooting

Mittens feel too tight

Genuine sheepskin will naturally stretch and conform to your hands with wear. Wear them for short periods initially to help them break in gradually. Ensure you selected the correct size based on measurement guides if available.

Reduced warmth after getting wet

Allow the mittens to air dry completely away from heat sources. Once dry, their insulating properties should return. Avoid using them in very wet conditions unless treated with a suitable water repellent.

Suede exterior looks dull or has marks

Use a soft suede brush to gently restore the nap of the material. For minor marks, try a suede eraser. Consider applying a suede protector spray periodically to maintain appearance and repelling light moisture.

Wool lining feels matted

Gently brush the lining with a soft brush or comb to help fluff the wool fibers. Natural wool can sometimes compress slightly with wear; gentle brushing can help restore its loft.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

These mittens require no setup; they are ready to wear out of the package. Ensure you have selected the correct size for the best fit and warmth.

Compatibility:

Designed for adult women, these mittens are compatible with casual and formal winter wear. They are intended for cold weather conditions and are not designed for extreme sports or heavy-duty work.

Care:

To maintain the quality and longevity of your sheepskin mittens:

  1. Cleaning: For light dirt, use a soft brush to remove dry mud or debris. For stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used sparingly on the suede exterior. Avoid soaking the material. For the wool lining, spot clean gently if necessary.
  2. Drying: If the mittens become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the sheepskin and wool.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use a breathable bag or cloth to protect them. Avoid storing in plastic, which can trap moisture.
  4. Conditioning: Periodically, you may consider using a suede protector spray designed for natural leathers to enhance water resistance and maintain the suede's appearance. Test any product on an inconspicuous area first.
