Charcoal Black Rabbit Fur Lined Peccary Gloves

Stately Charcoal-Black Rabbit-Lined Peccary Gloves

Simple black gloves are a dime a dozen, so we had to do something special with our pair. We therefore opted for a Charcoal Black - it is almost imperceptibly lighter than true black, imparting all of the dignity and utility of black but with a more complex tone that allows for superior wearing-and-pairing. These are the least colorful gloves that we make, so if you favor clean, simple lines and utilitarian practicality, these are the gloves for you.

Although these gloves are a dark charcoal, the introduction of deep black elements produces a subtle effect that heightens visual interest and produces a remarkable sense of color depth. The subtle contrast between these shades of black produces a beautiful shimmering effect that will set off any outfit beautifully.

Distinct stitching emphasizes the classic lines of the gloves and highlights the artisanal craftsmanship that produced these fine stitches. Our handsewn black thread adds dynamism to the look of these gloves, preventing them from appearing muddy thanks to the contrast between the true black and charcoal black. The result is a no-nonsense black glove with an air of refinement and elegance that always makes a massive positive impression.

The King of Glove Leather

It is with no hesitation that we hail leather made from the peccary, a pig-like ungulate from South America, as the best material from which to make men's dress gloves. This primacy is due to the distinctive qualities of peccary leather.It is especially known for its high durability, which makes it perfect for gloves that are meant to withstand regular use. Its fibrous structure gives it a superior resistance to wear and tear compared to other leathers.

Despite being durable, peccary leather is exceptionally soft to the touch, providing a luxurious feel. This enhances the comfort level for the wearer, making it an exquisite choice for high-end gloves. The leather's pliability allows for ease of movement, which is crucial for hand dexterity in gloves. It molds well to the hands over time, creating a custom fit. Peccary leather also has natural breathability, which helps in reducing hand perspiration and maintaining comfort over long periods of wear.

True peccary leather possesses a distinctive grainy texture that not only contributes to its aesthetic appeal but also provides a good grip even in wet or slippery conditions. Gloves made from peccary leather have a luxurious and elegant look, often featuring beautiful natural shades that contribute to their visual appeal. Because peccary leather comes from a wild animal found only in South America, its rarity adds to the exclusivity and desirability of gloves made from it.

When properly cared for, peccary leather gloves can last many years, becoming softer and more comfortable with age, representing a worthy investment.

Plush Rabbit Fur Lining

Rabbit fur is often lauded as an exceptional choice for glove lining, and for good reason. Its natural properties make it a luxurious and practical material that enhances the glove-wearing experience in a myriad of ways.

Imagine, on a frigid winter day, sliding your hands into gloves lined with the softest, most comforting texture imaginable. That's the embrace of rabbit fur. It's not just its softness that makes rabbit fur ideal; it’s also incredibly warm. The fur provides an insulating layer that traps heat close to the skin, ensuring that your fingers remain toasty even in the coldest temperatures.

Moreover, rabbit fur has excellent moisture-wicking abilities. This means that even if your hands get sweaty, the fur will draw the moisture away, keeping your hands dry and comfortable. Dryness contributes significantly to warmth, making rabbit fur-lined gloves a smart choice for anyone braving the winter chill.

The durability of rabbit fur is another aspect that cannot be overlooked. When cared for properly, this natural fiber can withstand the wear and tear of daily use, ensuring that your investment in a pair of rabbit fur-lined gloves is long-lasting. The resilience of the fur fibers means that they can retain their insulating properties and plush texture over time.

Lastly, rabbit fur adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to any pair of gloves. There's something undeniably refined about the look and feel of fur, which may boost not just your warmth but also your style quotient.

Leather Maintenance

All leathers employed by Fort Belvedere have been carefully sourced and tanned for longevity and durability, but there are simple steps that you can take to keep your gloves looking their best and feeling as comfortable as possible for years to come.

Cleaning

If a portion of your gloves gets wet, it may develop water stains. If an area of your gloves is darker than the rest after getting wet and then drying, wet the entire glove with clean water and then allow it to air dry for several days. The gloves will then be returned to their uniform appearance.

In most cases, your gloves can be washed with just clean water. If you want to use a cleanser, we suggest a dedicated glove-leather cleaner or a very mild product like baby soap or shampoo. Never use artificial cleaners.

Never wring your gloves dry. Instead, lay the gloves flat with the fingers extended on a towel and layer another towel on top to remove excess water. Then, air dry the gloves for a few days, keeping them clear of artificial heat sources like a radiator, hair dryers, and the like, because they could discolor or damage the leather.

Note that after cleaning, your gloves may feel slightly stiff. Simply wear them regularly to break them back in and they shall return to their previous softness.

Storage

After wearing your gloves, store them flat with the fingers stretched out. Never leave your gloves balled up or crumpled.

What's your glove size?

To determine your glove size, simply measure your dominant hand around the fullest section of the palm.

As implied by the expression “to fit like a glove,” dress gloves were traditionally worn with a relatively tight fit to appear as trim and elegant as possible. Therefore, if you are in-between sizes, we generally recommend sizing down: as the leather stretches, it will conform perfectly to your hand’s dimensions.
