The noblest of gloves and leathers is a classic glove made by hand from Peccary boar. At its best, gloves will provide years of enjoyment.
Boar leather is velvety soft and durable. The structure of the leather is reindeerus, which makes it very warm and soft. The beautiful structure of the leather, together with its practical properties, make it a unique and special material. The excellent thermal insulation and breathability of the leather make the gloves comfortable to wear all year round. Peccary gloves also serve particularly well as driving gloves. In an unlined glove, the softness of the leather feels wonderful against the skin, and the gloves give a great feel to the steering wheel. For comparison, it should be mentioned that an unlined A peccary glove is as warm as a wool-lined sheepskin glove.
The classic cork brown color of peccary gloves is the most traditional color by which peccary gloves are recognized. The warm light brown also shows off the beautiful texture of the leather. The personal nature of gloves made from wild animal skin includes small traces of life, so each pair is unique. Genuine peccary leather is easily recognized by the visible hair follicle holes in the leather, which always occur in groups of three holes. There can always be a slight natural variation in the color of the leather between different pairs, meaning the color of the gloves may be slightly different from the pictures.
Over 100 stages of careful craftsmanship and the world's best leather make these gloves a great investment in everyday comfort.
The traditional model has three decorative stitches on the back of the palm. The shaft of the glove is about 5 cm long, which means it covers the wrist. There is an elastic band on the palm side of the wrist to increase the fit of the wrist.
Due to the thickness of the leather, peccary boar leather gloves are made by hand using a counter-seam. The edge of the quilted counter-seam is also on the outside of the glove, which gives the gloves their traditional look. Sewing is very precise and time-consuming. A seamstress only makes about 2.5 pairs of gloves per day.
The most important step in determining the fit of the gloves is cutting the leather. Whole hides and the leather cut from them for pairs of gloves are processed individually. Using the centuries-old table cutting method, the gloves are given the right fit. Excess stretch is stretched out of the leather, leaving only the adjustment margin that ensures an excellent fit. This ensures that the gloves do not stretch even after prolonged use, but retain their fit.
In addition to the fact that the production of peccary gloves is very demanding, and the properties of the leather are superior, peccary is valuable because of its limited availability. Peccary leather comes from Peru, which is the only country that is allowed to sell this valuable leather. Indigenous communities living in the Amazon jungle hunt the animal for its meat. Hunting a CITES-protected animal is only allowed for survival. In other words, wild boars are not hunted for their leather, but the leather is only a by-product.
Due to the limited availability, the value of the leather and the high demand, a certain amount of visible marks on the surface of the leather, such as scars and scratches, are acceptable in peccary gloves. Fortunately, these cosmetic defects do not affect the durability of the leather. The leather of a small peccary boar often has relatively many cosmetic defects. Cutting the leather resembles a jigsaw puzzle, when an experienced cutter finds the right places in the leather for each part of the glove. Fortunately, gloves have many small parts, such as between the fingers, so the leather can be used as efficiently as possible. All the smallest pieces of leather can eventually be made into, for example, the cover for the snap button on a driving glove.
The gloves should initially fit the hand very tightly, so that they are shaped exactly to fit 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. Only round up to a larger size based on the size chart if you have long fingers. There may be subtle differences between pairs of gloves, as the gloves are handmade from natural materials. A perfect fit can be ensured by trying them on. If necessary, the gloves can be exchanged if the size/pair is not suitable.

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.
