FAQs
What material are the Walter Gloves made from?
The gloves are constructed from a blend of 50% real leather and 50% canvas, with a fleece lining for added comfort.
Are these gloves waterproof?
The gloves offer some resistance to light moisture due to the leather, but they are not fully waterproof. The canvas component may absorb water.
How do I clean the leather parts of the gloves?
Wipe leather with a dry cloth. Use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner sparingly, and always test on a small, hidden area first. Avoid soaking the leather.
Can I machine wash these gloves?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, canvas, and fleece lining. Hand spot-cleaning and air drying are advised.
What is the purpose of the adjustable wrist tabs?
The adjustable press stud wrist tabs allow you to customize the fit of the gloves for better security and to prevent drafts from entering.
Are these gloves suitable for very cold weather?
The fleece lining provides warmth, making them suitable for cool or mild weather. For extreme cold, layering or gloves with specialized insulation would be more appropriate.
What is the intended use for these gloves?
These gloves are designed for general adult use, offering a blend of durability and comfort for everyday activities, light chores, and casual wear. They provide basic protection and style.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too tight or too loose
Adjust the press stud wrist tabs for a more secure or relaxed fit. If the overall size is incorrect, consider if a different size variant is available.
Leather appears dry or cracked
Apply a quality leather conditioner specifically designed for gloves. Ensure the gloves are not exposed to excessive heat or dryness.
Canvas material is stained
Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse lightly with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry completely.
Fleece lining feels stiff
Ensure only mild spot cleaning has been used. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing which can degrade the lining. Gently brush the lining to restore softness.
