Broken glove lining? Hole in finger? A broken glove lining doesn't necessarily mean the end of its life.
With our liner replacement service, your Sauso gloves will get a new lining and more years of comfortable use.

Leather is more wear-resistant than the lining, so the lining is usually the first part of the gloves to break. Many people ask us whether it is worth replacing the lining of the gloves. If the leather of the gloves is intact and you still want to use the gloves, replacing the lining can give your hands a nice extra time to wear the gloves that are already well-shaped. The gloves are also significantly more comfortable and warmer when your fingers do not reach into the holes in the broken lining.
It is therefore worth maintaining old but intact leather gloves and eventually transferring them from neat city use to another purpose, such as as car maintenance, refueling and snow removal gloves or for walking the dog. The lining replacement and repair service is only available for Sauso gloves, i.e. we do not repair gloves from other manufacturers.
The lining replacement service can be ordered at our brick-and-mortar store or via online store and mail. If you bring the gloves to the store, payment can be conveniently made at the same time. Payment is made before the lining exchange is carried out. Our store is located in the heart of Helsinki, at Mikonkatu 7.
The lining exchange service works by mail as follows: (Only in Finland)
1. Order in the online store. Select the lining material you want from the drop-down box and add the product to the shopping cart. Complete the purchase. You will receive an order number for your purchase.
2. Packaging and delivery of gloves.
- Pack the gloves in any packaging suitable for shipping that protects the product.
- Enclose a form with the package that shows the following information: Order number, name, contact information (phone number, email, postal address).
- Send the package to us at: Sauso, Mikonkatu 7, 00100 Helsinki sauso.shop@sauso.com
3. Lining replacement.The gloves are sent from us to the factory, where the glove seamstress removes the old lining and sews a new lining onto the gloves.
For ecological reasons, we always collect several gloves in the same shipment, so we do not send individual gloves to the factory. We send the shipment to the factory regularly. The finished gloves are sent to us in connection with regular deliveries. This way we reduce the carbon footprint of the service.
4. You will receive a notification when the gloves are ready to be picked up from the store or if you chose delivery, you will receive a tracking number for the package. The shipping usually takes 1-4 business days.
The lining change takes approximately 4-10 weeks in total. The duration of the service varies slightly depending on the season. The duration is affected by the factory's congestion, transport and processing times.
We recommend changing the lining outside the glove use season or purchasing replacement gloves so that you don't have to wait with your fingers cold for the gloves that are returned from the lining change. It is also wise to buy a pair of gloves from the same use season, as it helps the skin to have rest days from time to time. This way you will enjoy the gloves for even longer!

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.
