The Rolls-Royce of gloves and leathers is a classic glove handcrafted from Peccary Boar Leather.
Peccary- Hand-sewn classic driving gloves made of wild boar leather are suitable for all kinds of purposes. They are suitable for cycling and boating, among other things, because they can withstand even the toughest use. They are also perfect for driving, because they give you a good steering wheel feel. Timelessly stylish, also suitable for city use. If you want durable, classically beautiful and perfectly fitting lightweight leather gloves that can be worn all year round, then these are just the thing for you. In this hand-sewn, unlined glove, the velvety soft leather feels wonderful on your skin.
Peccary boar leather is naturally thick and reindeerus, so it insulates well. Peccary boar leather is characterized by a beautiful matte surface. The velvety soft leather has the patterns left by the hair tufts typical of peccary - three adjacent small dots. The personal nature of gloves made of wild animal leather also includes small traces of life, so each pair is unique.
Peccary leather is very durable and patinated beautifully over time, so these gloves will be a joy to the wearer for years. In addition to the fact that peccary leather is perfect for gloves, its limited availability makes it valuable. 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 skin, the skin is only a by-product. Each pair is unique, because the skins of wild animals also reflect the life the animal has lived.
The back of the palm has a classic design for driving gloves. The glove also has traditional knuckle holes and there are perforations all around the glove, which give the glove additional breathability. The snap-button fastening keeps the glove firmly in place closed.
Over 100 meticulous hand-crafting steps and high-quality materials make these gloves a great investment.
The gloves should fit very snugly to the user's hand to ensure they are shaped to fit the user's hand. The most important step in determining the fit of the gloves is cutting the leather. 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. Each leather is processed separately. The skins of a relatively small wild animal are very flawed, with many signs of life and even holes. Cutting the leather resembles a puzzle, as an experienced cutter finds the right places in the leather for each part of the glove. Fortunately, the leathers can be utilized carefully, because the gloves have a lot of small parts between the fingers.

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.
