Questions we get asked
Does deerskin stretch too much?
It stretches where your hand needs it and then stops. The one mistake to avoid is buying a size up because the first week feels snug; do that and you will have a loose pair for years afterwards.
Is it waterproof?
No leather is, but deerskin handles damp better than most and does not stiffen up afterwards the way some do. Let a wet pair dry flat at room temperature and away from heat, and there is no lasting harm.
Deerskin or lambskin as a gift?
Deerskin, unless you know the person wants a formal dress glove. It suits more situations, it survives being thrown in a coat pocket, and the fit is more forgiving if you are guessing at a size.
Is deerskin warm enough for winter?
Unlined, it is a three-season glove. Lined with cashmere or rabbit fur it carries you through most European winters — those pairs are in winter gloves.
