FAQs

What material are these gloves made from?

These gloves are crafted from premium sheepskin.

Are these gloves suitable for very cold weather?

While sheepskin provides natural insulation, these gloves are best suited for cool to moderately cold conditions. For extreme cold, heavier insulated gloves might be more appropriate.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

It is recommended to measure your hand circumference and compare it to the brand's sizing chart, if available. If unsure, consider trying them on if possible, or checking customer reviews for fit advice.

Can I machine wash these gloves?

No, machine washing is not recommended. Hand cleaning with a specialized leather cleaner or a damp cloth is the preferred method.

How often should I condition the leather?

Conditioning every few months, or as needed when the leather feels dry, is generally recommended to maintain its softness and durability.

What does '3 Point Stitch' refer to?

The '3 Point Stitch' refers to a decorative and functional stitching pattern typically seen on the back of the glove, often featuring three parallel lines of stitching.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel stiff after drying

Gently rub the leather with a leather conditioner or a soft cloth to restore flexibility. Ensure they were air-dried at room temperature and not exposed to heat.

Scuff marks or minor dirt

Use a clean, dry, soft cloth to gently buff away the marks. For more persistent dirt, a specialized leather cleaner may be used sparingly according to product instructions.

Uneven fit or discomfort

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Sheepskin gloves may stretch slightly with wear to conform to your hand shape. If discomfort persists, consider trying a different size if available.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These gloves require no setup; they are ready to wear upon purchase.

Compatibility: Designed for adult males, the primary compatibility factor is ensuring the correct size is selected for optimal fit and comfort. They are compatible with most adult male hand sizes when chosen appropriately.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: For light dirt or scuffs, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the surface. For deeper cleaning, consider a specialized leather cleaner. Avoid using water excessively, as it can damage the sheepskin.
  2. Conditioning: To maintain the suppleness of the sheepskin, apply a small amount of leather conditioner specifically designed for fine leather goods every few months, or as needed.
  3. Storage: Store the gloves in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent drying out or fading. Avoid folding them tightly; laying them flat or on a hanger is ideal.
  4. Drying: If the gloves become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can cause the leather to shrink or become stiff.
