Pile Lined Elkskin Work Gloves

Winter work gloves have to keep your hands warm and safe without rendering your digits useless. These Pile Lined Elkskin Work Gloves by Geier are an excellent choice because of they balance protection and warmth with dexterity.

The medium weight elkskin is perfect for rough tasks like snow shoveling, handling rough materials, or splitting wood. The simple, slip on design is no-fuss, and has a classic time tested look. The pile lining is made from a mix of polypropylene and polyester. Like the elk-skin outer, the lining is a straightforward choice, perfectly inline with the get-it-done ethic expressed by these gloves.

Order lined gloves 1 size larger than your measured size to allow for the lining.

Made in the USA from tannery run elkskin lined with 14 oz. pile.

Measuring your glove size:

Measure around the widest part of your palm excluding your thumb.

For LINED GLOVES add 1 to 1-1/2″ to the measurement.

In lined gloves, a larger fit is typically warmer. If you will be wearing these gloves with liners (read: Overkill) add 1-1/2″ to your measured size. Likewise if you prefer a looser fit.

If you are left handed, measure your left hand, if you are right handed, measure your right hand.

Also please note – Geier makes performance oriented gloves from high quality leathers. They are designed to fit more snugly than many gloves, and will form to fit your hand over time. Dexterity will come as the leather molds itself to your hand – and the liner beds into the fingers of the gloves.

Geier has been making gloves in Centralia, Washington since 1927. Their long history of attention to detail shines through in the superior fit and finish of their products.

Leather grading:

Geier uses several grades of leather, but none that would compromise the wear or durability of their gloves.

Tannery Run leather is perfect for work gloves. The best, and poorest hides are graded out leaving leather suitable for grain (hair) side cutting. Typically leather of this grade will exhibit some scarring or marking. Under no circumstances is the wearing quality of the glove affected.

Select leather is the clearest leather available. Wild animal hides such as deer or elk are never perfect, however imperfections are kept to minimum.

Reverse (Suede) leather will typically have numerous scars, marks and blemishes. For this reason, the leather is used flesh (suede) side out. Again, under no circumstances is the wearing quality, or durability of the glove compromised.

Care:

Geier gloves are made to last, and will become even more comfortable with age. Kept dry, the natural oils from your skin will keep them soft and comfortable. Air-dry wet gloves; although they may stiffen, they will soon soften back up with use.
