Eastern Counties Leather Mittens - Grey - One Size

These mittens are designed for infants and toddlers, with a one-size-fits-most approach. While the exact fit can vary, they are generally intended for babies from a few months old up to toddler age.

It is best to hand wash these mittens in cool water using a specialized sheepskin cleaner. Avoid machine washing and harsh detergents. For minor dirt, spot cleaning with a damp cloth may suffice.

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the sheepskin and stitching. Hand washing is the preferred method for cleaning.

Always air dry the mittens away from direct heat or sunlight. Reshape them while damp and allow them to dry naturally. Never use a tumble dryer or heater.

The attached cord is a practical feature designed to prevent the mittens from getting lost. It allows parents to keep the pair together when not in use, for example, by hanging them around the baby's neck or attaching them to a jacket.

The product description specifies 'Grey' as the color. Typically, grey sheepskin can be either a natural shade or achieved through dyeing. For precise information, consult the product packaging or manufacturer details.

Sheepskin offers natural water resistance to some extent, but these mittens are not designed to be fully waterproof. They are intended for warmth and protection against cold and light moisture, not for prolonged exposure to heavy rain or snow.

Due to the one-size nature, fit may vary. For looseness, you can gently tuck them deeper onto the hand or consider adding a thin liner. For tightness, ensure the sheepskin is still pliable and gently stretch small areas if possible, or consider alternative sizing if available.

This can happen if not dried properly or if a harsh cleaner was used. Gently massage the sheepskin with your fingers to soften it. If needed, a specialized sheepskin conditioner can be applied sparingly after drying.

Ensure the cord is managed safely and does not pose a strangulation risk. For very young infants, you may choose to temporarily secure the cord to the garment or keep it shorter by tying a small, secure knot.
