FAQs
Are these gloves suitable for very cold weather?
These gloves are unlined, prioritizing feel and control. For very cold weather, you might consider a lined glove or wearing thinner liner gloves underneath.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Refer to a sizing chart if available from the manufacturer, or measure the palm width and length of the middle finger. The gloves should fit snugly but not be restrictive.
Can I wash these gloves in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended for genuine leather gloves as it can damage the material and affect its shape and softness.
How often should I condition the leather?
Condition the gloves every few months, or more often if they are frequently used or exposed to drying conditions, to maintain suppleness.
What is the main advantage of the unlined design?
The unlined design maximizes tactile feedback, allowing the rider to feel the reins more directly for improved communication and control.
Are the suede panels on the inside or outside of the fingers?
The reinforced suede panels are on the forefinger and inner fingers, intended to prevent rubbing and enhance grip.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel stiff
This can happen with new leather. Wear them for short periods to break them in. If stiffness persists after regular use, apply a small amount of leather conditioner.
Velcro closure not holding securely
Ensure the Velcro surfaces are clean and free of lint or debris. Gently brush the hooks and loops with a stiff brush to restore their grip.
Leather shows signs of drying or cracking
Apply a suitable leather conditioner generously to the affected areas and the entire glove. Follow up with regular conditioning to prevent recurrence.
Discoloration on reins or hands
New leather can sometimes transfer color, especially when new or wet. This usually subsides with use. Condition the gloves to help seal the leather. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These gloves are ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Ensure the size is correct for a snug, comfortable fit. The Velcro closure allows for adjustment.
Compatibility: Designed for equestrian use, compatible with standard reins.
Care:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather with a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt. Avoid soaking the gloves.
- Drying: If the gloves get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources (like radiators or sunlight), as this can dry out and crack the leather.
- Conditioning: Periodically use a leather conditioner specifically designed for gloves or fine leather goods to keep the material supple and prevent it from drying out. Apply sparingly according to product instructions.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a glove bag or a breathable container to allow air circulation.
