Peccary Winter Gloves
Warmth in the rarest leather there is — and slim enough that you can still drive in it.
Peccary has an advantage in winter that is easy to miss until you have worn it. Most fine leathers stiffen when the temperature drops; peccary stays supple. Combined with a lining, that gives you a glove that is warm without turning your hand into a paddle.
Choosing a lining matters as much as the leather:
- Cashmere — warm without bulk, and the right choice if you want to keep feel at the wheel.
- Rabbit fur — the warmest lining we use, and it stays soft rather than matting down over a season.
- Unlined — for milder winters, and for anyone who wants nothing between hand and leather.
Closures vary too. A strap or button at the wrist seals warmth in; a plain cuff slips on faster. Both are here.
Our peccary comes from Peru. It is a wild hide from the family Tayassuidae — not pig or boar — with a pitted grain formed by hair follicles growing in groups of three. The finest models are hand-sewn throughout, up to eight hours per pair, in our workshop in Târgu Mureș, Transylvania.
A note on sizing: take the larger size when a glove is lined. The lining takes up room, and a little air inside is part of what keeps your hand warm. Check the sizing chart, or tell us how cold your winters get and we will suggest a lining.
