- Peccary wild boar leather (Finnish: pekari) Country of origin: Peru
- Unlined
- Classic cork brown color
- European craftsmanship
The noble of gloves and leathers is the classic glove handcrafted from peccary wild boar. This is a glove that passes from generation to generation, from father to son.
Wild boar leather is velvety soft and durable. At its best, the gloves bring joy for years. The leather's structure is porous, which makes it very warm and soft. The beautiful structure of the leather combined with practical properties makes it a unique and special material. The leather's excellent insulation and breathability make the gloves comfortable to wear all year round. Peccary gloves also serve especially well as driving gloves. In an unlined glove, the softness of the leather is wonderfully felt against the skin, and the gloves provide an excellent grip on the steering wheel.
In peccary gloves, the classic cork brown is exactly the most traditional color by which peccary gloves are recognized. The warm-toned light brown also beautifully shows the leather's fine structure. Small life marks are part of the unique character of gloves made from wild animal leather, so each pair is unique. Genuine peccary leather is easily recognized by the visible hair follicle holes in the leather, which always appear in groups of three holes. The leather color may always have some natural variation between different pairs, so the glove color may be slightly different from the pictures.
Over 100 steps of careful craftsmanship and the world's best leather make these gloves an excellent investment in everyday comfort.
The traditional model has three decorative stitches on the back of the hand. The glove's cuff is about 5 cm long, covering the wrist. On the palm side of the wrist, there is an elastic band to improve the wrist fit.
Due to the thickness of the leather, peccary wild boar leather gloves are sewn with a flat-felled seam, which means the seam is also on the outside of the glove, giving the gloves their traditional look. Thanks to this, the gloves feel very pleasant against the skin. Sewing the gloves is very precise and time-consuming work. The sewer makes only about 2.5 pairs of gloves per day.
The most important step in determining the fit of gloves is cutting the leather. Whole hides and the leathers cut from them for glove pairs are treated individually. Using a centuries-old table cutting method, the gloves achieve the right fit. Excess stretch is stretched out of the leather, leaving only the adaptation margin that ensures excellent fit. This ensures that the gloves do not stretch even after long use but retain their fit.
In addition to the fact that making peccary gloves is very demanding and the leather's properties are superior, peccary's value comes from its limited availability. Peccary leather comes from Peru, which is the only country allowed to sell this valuable leather. Indigenous communities living in the Amazon jungle hunt the animal for its meat. Hunting this CITES-protected animal is only allowed for survival purposes. So, the wild boar is not hunted for its leather; the leather is only a by-product.
Due to limited availability, the leather's value, and high demand, peccary gloves accept a certain amount of visible marks on the leather surface, such as scars and scratches. Fortunately, these cosmetic defects do not affect the leather's durability. Small-sized peccary wild boar leather often has relatively many cosmetic defects. The leather cutting resembles a puzzle, as an experienced cutter searches for the right suitable spots on the leather for each glove part. Fortunately, gloves have many small parts, so the leathers can be utilized as efficiently as possible. From the smallest leather pieces, for example, snap button covers for driving gloves are eventually made.
Gloves should initially fit the hand very snugly so that they mold perfectly to the user's hand. Therefore, measure your glove size carefully. The measuring tape should be wrapped tightly around the widest part of the palm, without the thumb. There may be slight differences between pairs of gloves, as the gloves are entirely handmade from natural material. The perfect fit can only be ensured by trying them on. Gloves can be exchanged if the size/pair is not suitable.

Käsineiden valmistus käsityönä on luonnostaan hyvin taloudellista ja siten ekologista materiaalien käytön osalta. Leikkausvaiheessa leikkuri optimoi nahan kulutuksen siten, että leikkuujätettä syntyy minimaalisen vähän. Tähän tarkoitukseen käsineet ovat erinomainen tuote, sillä niissä on paljon pieniä osia (sormenvälit, peukalot, ranteen kanttaus), joihin voidaan käyttää hyvinkin pienet nahanpalaset. Hienolaatuisen aniliininahan luonnollinen tuntuma säilyy rumpuvärjäyksen ansiosta, eli nahan päälle ei ruiskuteta halpatuotannolle tyypillisiä kemikaaleja. Materiaalien valmistuksessa käytetyt vedet puhdistetaan jo tehtaalla. Ekologisten seikkojen huomioiminen on meille tärkeää tuotannon ja toiminnan joka vaiheessa. Esimerkiksi tuotelaput valmistetaan FSC-setrifioidusta kartongista käsinetehtaamme naapuritehtaassa, jolloin myös kuljetuksen hiilijalanjälki on minimaalinen.
Käsineemme valmistetaan käsityönä Unkarissa kauniissa Pecs-nimisessä kaupungissa, joka on maailman laatukäsineiden valmistuksen osaamisen keskus. Käsineiden valmistus on erittäin arvostettu käsityöala, ja alansa parhaiden käsinevalmistajien työolot ovat kunnossa ja EU-lakien mukaiset. Käytämme ainoastaan nahkaa, joka saadaan ruokatuotannon sivutuotteena (kuten lammas) ja/tai kannanhallinnan seurauksena (kuten hirvi). Tarhattujen eläinten turkiksia emme käytä. Meille prioriteettina on valmistaa laadukkaita ja pitkäikäisiä asusteita. Seuraamme kuitenkin tarkasti myös vegaanisten materiaalien kenttää, ja tulevaisuudessa saattaakin olla mahdollista valmistaa vegaanisia käsineitä. Materiaalit hankitaan luotettavilta yhteistyökumppaneilta, jolloin tuotantoketjun vaiheet ovat tiedossa.
Kestävistä materiaaleista ja huolellisella käsityöllä valmistetut käsineet kestävät käytössä pitkään. Kannustamme tuotteidemme mahdollisimman pitkäaikaiseen käyttöön, ja opastammekin käsineiden huollossa ja korjauksessa. Esimerkiksi käsineiden luonnonkuituiset vuorit on mahdollista vaihtaa, mikä lisää käsineiden käyttöikää entisestään. Vuorinvaihto- ja käsineiden korjauspalvelu toimivat myymälämme kautta. Kestävyyteen liittyy lisäksi tyylin ja muotoilun kestävyys. Klassisena asusteena käsineet eivät ole kiinni sesongeittain vaihtuvissa trendeissä, vaan käsineet palvelevat käyttäjänsä pukeutumista koko niiden elinkaaren ajan.
