The Småland Deerskin Leather Mittens

These are the mittens crafted by renowned Swedish glovers Hestra from the leather of wild white-tailed deer. Established in Sweden’s southern Småland region in 1936, the company originally catered to lumberjacks who required gloves that were both durable and supple, but over time its gloves have become highly prized by the world’s top professional skiers. Valued for its long-lasting durability since Late-Paleolithic times, the deer leather used in these mittens comes from hides harvested by hunters in the wild. Each hide is tanned to a silky smooth hand that preserves the original skin's imperfections and uneven, pebbled grain, then drum-dyed to a rich color. Lined with water-resistant, polyester insulated interiors that provide exceptional warmth and New Zealand lambswool cuffs that keep out the cold, the mittens withstand the rigors of daily use while still providing an exceptionally soft feel, providing years of comfortable, reliable wear. Black. Sizes M (6), L (7), XL (8), or XXL (9). (4 oz.)
