FAQs

Are these gloves waterproof?

No, these gloves are crafted from sheepskin and are primarily designed for warmth. They are not waterproof and should be kept away from excessive moisture to prevent damage to the material.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The best way to ensure a proper fit is to measure the circumference of your palm. Compare this measurement to the brand's sizing chart. The gloves should fit snugly but not be uncomfortably tight, allowing for slight stretching over time.

Can I use regular leather cleaner on these gloves?

It is recommended to use cleaners and conditioners specifically designed for sheepskin or fine leather to avoid damaging the natural material. Always test a small, inconspicuous area first.

What is the main benefit of sheepskin for gloves?

Sheepskin offers excellent natural insulation, keeping hands warm in cold weather. It is also breathable, soft, and known for its durability when properly cared for.

Are these gloves suitable for very active use?

While durable for everyday tasks, extreme or rough activities might put excessive strain on the sheepskin and stitching. For highly demanding activities, specialized technical gloves might be more appropriate.

What does 'hand-sewn construction' mean?

Hand-sewn construction indicates that parts of the gloves have been sewn together by hand, often signifying a higher level of craftsmanship, attention to detail, and durability compared to machine-only sewing.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight

Sheepskin can stretch slightly with wear. Try wearing them for short periods initially. If still too tight after several wears, ensure you selected the correct size; consider trying a different size if available.

Noticeable creases or wrinkles

This is natural for leather. To minimize appearance, ensure proper storage and consider using a leather conditioner.

Material feels stiff

Apply a small amount of sheepskin or leather conditioner according to product instructions. Wear the gloves to help soften the material.

Color transfer to hands or light-colored clothing

This can occur with dyed leather, especially when new or wet. Allow the gloves to air out before first use. Avoid prolonged contact with damp surfaces or light-colored items until color transfer is no longer an issue.

Care: To maintain the quality and longevity of your sheepskin gloves:

  1. Cleaning: Avoid washing with water. For light dirt, use a soft, dry brush to gently remove debris. For stains, consult a professional leather cleaner.
  2. Conditioning: Periodically use a specialized sheepskin or leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent drying or cracking.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid plastic bags, as leather needs to breathe. Stuffing them with tissue paper can help maintain their shape.
