Sauso X Ruoto collection is a glove designed in Finnish cooperation from white-tailed deer leather felled in Finland.
Finnish deer leather is an ecological and ethical material obtained as a by-product of hunting. Thick, durable and soft leather provides good grip and durability for splitting trees, among other things. High-quality full aniline leather patinas beautifully over time. The leather has been treated with a higher fat content than usual, which makes it water-repellent and has excellent grip and a firm feel.
Reinforcements on the palms increase the durability and comfort of the gloves while working. Thanks to the metal rings, the gloves can be easily attached to a hook or carabiner. A compatible lanyard is sold separately.
The production of quality gloves is from start to finish handcrafted, with machines only playing an auxiliary role. The leather is processed using the centuries-old table cutting method. The cutter's goal is to utilize the leather as carefully as possible so that valuable material is not wasted, while at the same time taking into account the natural stretch of each individual leather so that the gloves fit the hand as well as possible. The table cutting method requires care and also manual strength, and it is very slow - the cutting speed is only three pairs per hour on average.
Size selection: In outdoor gloves, the fit of the gloves should be more relaxed than the familiar Sauso fit. We do not recommend rounding down to a smaller size. Therefore, there are three sizes to choose from. You can either choose your own Sauso glove size, which will make the gloves fit snugly. Alternatively, you can choose a larger size, which will allow you to wear mittens inside the gloves during cold seasons. We recommend our selection of Onni mittens, which are made of extremely durable and warm merino possum knitwear.

The artisanal manufacturing of gloves is inherently very economical and thus ecological in terms of material usage. During the cutting phase, the cutter optimizes the consumption of leather so that the production of cutting waste is minimal. For this purpose, gloves are an excellent product, as they have many small parts (fourchettes/gussets, thumbs, wrist binding) for which very small pieces of leather can be used. The natural feel of high-quality aniline leather is preserved thanks to drum dyeing, meaning no chemicals typical of mass production are sprayed onto the leather. The waters used in the manufacturing of the materials are purified already at the factory. Taking ecological considerations into account is important to us at every stage of production and operation. For example, product tags are made from FSC-certified cardboard in the factory neighbouring our glove factory, which also keeps the transport's carbon footprint minimal.
Our gloves are handmade in Hungary in the beautiful city of Pécs, which is a centre of expertise for the manufacture of world-class quality gloves. Glove making is a highly respected craft, and the working conditions of the best glove makers in the field are good and compliant with EU laws. We only use leather obtained as a by-product of food production (such as lamb) and/or as a result of population management (such as moose/elk). We do not use the fur of farmed animals. Our priority is to manufacture high-quality and durable accessories. However, we also closely monitor the field of vegan materials, and it may be possible to produce vegan gloves in the future. Materials are sourced from reliable partners, so the stages of the production chain are known.
Gloves made from durable materials and with careful craftsmanship last a long time in use. We encourage the longest possible use of our products, and we provide guidance on glove maintenance and repair. For example, it is possible to replace the natural fibre linings of the gloves, which further extends their lifespan. The lining replacement and glove repair service operates through our store. Furthermore, sustainability is also related to the durability of style and design. As a classic accessory, gloves are not tied to seasonal trends, but serve their wearer's wardrobe throughout their entire life cycle.
