A classic, stylish glove made of soft Hairsheep nappa. The last of this glove has been developed to fit especially long fingers or nails. The length of the finger part is approx. 0.5 cm longer than our regular last. The cuff of the glove is also slightly longer and comfortably covers the wrist.
The Hairsheep nappa is beautifully shiny and soft. The thin and flexible Hairsheep nappa shapes well hand. Since the nap of the Hairsheep is naturally oily, it does not need to be treated with leather care products.
The lining material is 100% silk lining. As a natural material, silk is in a class of its own. The breathability and softness of silk combined with the durability of the fiber are unparalleled. The silk lining adds a little extra warmth to the glove, while still keeping the glove's appearance graceful.
The gloves are sewn by hand with a graceful step seam. The step seam is a demanding seam type and only the best seamstresses can do it.
The gloves are given the right fit by using the centuries-old table cutting method. The excess stretch is manually stretched out of the leather, leaving only the adjustment margin that ensures an excellent fit. This also ensures that the gloves do not stretch even after prolonged use, but retain their fit. The leather can be utilized precisely in the production of the gloves, so the amount of waste material is very minimized.

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.
