FAQs
Are these gloves waterproof?
These gloves are made from genuine leather and are not fully waterproof. They offer protection from light rain or snow but should not be submerged in water. If they get wet, they should be air-dried naturally.
How do I know if the touchscreen feature will work with my phone?
The touchscreen compatibility is designed for most standard capacitive touchscreens found on smartphones and tablets. It works by detecting the electrical conductivity of your finger through the leather. Performance may vary slightly depending on the device and the ambient conditions.
Can I machine wash these gloves?
No, you should never machine wash leather gloves. This will damage the leather, causing it to stiffen, crack, or lose its shape. Always follow the specific leather care instructions provided.
What is the benefit of sourcing leather as a by-product?
Sourcing leather as a by-product means using material that would otherwise be discarded from the food industry. This approach reduces waste and gives a new, long-lasting purpose to the material.
How long will these gloves last?
With proper care and regular conditioning, these genuine leather gloves are designed to be durable and long-lasting, providing style and warmth for multiple seasons.
Are there other color options available?
Yes, BARNEYS offers this style of real leather gloves in various colors, including brown, to suit different preferences and wardrobes.
Troubleshooting
Touchscreen not responding
Ensure the index finger area is clean and dry. For some devices, a firmer touch might be needed. Check if the leather has absorbed too much moisture.
Gloves feel stiff
This is normal for new leather. Wear them regularly to break them in. You can also apply a small amount of leather conditioner to help soften them.
Leather creasing significantly
Avoid bending the gloves sharply. When storing, lay them flat or hang them to minimize deep creases. Regular conditioning can help maintain flexibility.
Color transfer to hands or other items
This can occur with new dyed leather. It's recommended to wear the gloves a few times in dry conditions. If significant transfer occurs, consider conditioning the leather, which can sometimes help seal the dye.
