General
We can’t offer a guarantee because our gloves are a handmade wearable product. Eventually, by wear and tear or pterodactyl, they'll wear out. We take a lot of pride in what we do and we do it really well, so we want you to be satisfied. If you think you did not receive a good value from your gloves get in touch and we'll do what we can to make the situation right.
We do our best to fulfill orders within 5 business days. Custom work gloves take 4-6 weeks once we receive the tracing.
Sure do. Head on over here to learn how to initiate a repair.
Nothin but goat.
Our leather comes from North America. The majority (~85%) comes from the New England and Tri-State area while the balance (~15%) comes from Quebec and Ontario.

Glove Care
A bit of occasional glove love goes a long way.
It depends how hard you run them and what you're doing but eventually your gloves will dry out and need an oil change.
The first step is to clean them with Glove Soap.
Once their sparkling, then it's time to condition them.
If you're working or playing in wet environments, you can waterproof them (after conditioning) for an added layer of protection.
If you're looking for full service, you can pick up our Glove Care Bundle
Nope! Not required. Some people like to use it at first. Some people don't.
Using our Leather Protector, of course. Start by warming up your gloves in the oven. This opens up the pores of the leather. Then rub beeswax all over the gloves. ALL OVER. Put them back in the oven to help the wax set into the leather. Repeat three times for wicked good coverage. Repeat the entire process anytime you need more waterproofage.
You bet. In fact your gloves prefer it. Just make sure to use the conditioner first, as the beeswax makes an impenetrable shield around the glove, and we want that conditioner to soak deep.
Use our Glove Soap, of course. If you're in a pinch and simply must get them clean right now, you can use a bit of dish soap and water as a backup. Use an old (or your enemy's) toothbrush to clean seams and hard to reach spots.
Sizing
You can print out our sizing chart, or use the sizing app on our product pages.
We recommend using one of these methods, because while you may feel like you are an XXL, our most popular size by leaps and bounds is the good old trusty Medium.
Head on over to our Returns & Exchanges page and initiate a swaperoo.
Yes, our sizing is universal for all of our glove styles. If you wear a medium Vermonter, you will wear a medium Flatlander.
Product
Vermonter is a rugged glove for heavy work, while the Flatlander is a snugger fitting glove for more nimble needs.
The Vermonter is made of 4oz. full grain goat leather. The Flatlander is made of 3oz. full grain goat leather.
The Vermonter is made with the seams on the outside. The Flatlander is made with seams on the inside.
The gist is that the Vermonter is wicked super heavy duty, and the Flatlander is hella far out dexterous.
Quite warm. Depends where in the world you are and how warm your hands run.
Goat leather is a natural material that comes from goats. Like butterflies or fingerprints, no two goats are exactly alike. We do our best to standardize the color of the hides we use, there is an inevitable amount of variation among the color of hides. We celebrate that every pair of gloves we make is unique. Once you've worn them in, the patina, look and feel is entirely yours.
79% Merino wool, 19% nylon, 2% elastic.
It depends on the dew point and your propensity to blood circulation. Generally speaking, the Jefflo Mitt is our warmest option. If you run cold, you can size up in a mitten, which creates a larger cavity to trap the heat coming off of your hand. If you run really cold, you can wear a glove liner inside the mitten. Our warmest glove will be the Tuttle.
Sorry to be the bearer of the bummer, but temp ratings don't mean anything unless it's suggesting the temp at which the material will freeze solid, or burn your hand through the material. As with most things, the temp at which your hand will be comfortable in a certain glove depends on your hands, your body, the ambient temp, air mosture content, wind factor and approximately millions of other factors. In conclusion, our gloves work really well in a wide range of temperatures. We wouldn't wear them on an arctic expedition though, to be perfectly honest.
