Maintenance and Care

Proper care will extend the life and performance of your gloves.

• Cleaning: The manufacturer recommends Dry Clean Only for these gloves. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, or iron.
• Drying: If gloves become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, direct sunlight). Do not force dry.
• Storage: Store gloves in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent mildew or damage to the leather.
• Leather Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner suitable for cowhide to maintain the leather's suppleness and prevent cracking. Follow the conditioner product's instructions.

Troubleshooting

• Fit Issues: If gloves feel too tight or too loose, re-check your hand measurements against the sizing chart. Leather may stretch slightly over time with use.
• Reduced Water Resistance: While designed to be waterproof, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or extreme conditions may test the limits of any waterproof material. Ensure the gloves are properly dried and maintained.
• Liner Damage: Avoid excessive force when putting on or removing gloves, especially if hands are wet, to prevent damage to the internal lining.
• General Wear and Tear: Leather is a natural material and will show signs of wear over time. Regular maintenance can help preserve its appearance and integrity.
