Peccary is the most refined and exclusive, a rare leather. Higher-quality leathers are both more durable and more refined. Peccary in particular is one of the most prized materials in the range: available primarily in tobacco and brown tones, it is a rare leather that Restelli has been working with for decades.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783072191889\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is the difference between the leathers used in Restelli gloves?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Coloured deerskin, available in variants such as denim, green, or cream, is a fine full-grain leather, left in its natural state, chosen by those who want a glove with character: its velvety texture offers softness to the touch and good durability over time. Peccary is an exotic leather, naturally water-repellent and highly durable, worked in tobacco and brown. Nappa is a leather with a soft, finer and lighter hand, often used alone or in combination with suede, as in the <a href=\"https:\/\/restelliguanti.it\/en\/shop\/womens-gloves\/art-15\/\">art. 15<\/a> from the women&#8217;s collection, where the two leathers alternate for a result that is both sporty and elegant.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783072203358\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What makes peccary such a special material?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Peccary is an exotic leather which we make water-repellent and particularly robust, recognisable by its characteristic three-pore grain. Restelli has been working with it for decades, both in ski gloves and in city models, where its distinctive appearance adds a touch of character. In the ski range it is the material of choice for the most refined models, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/restelliguanti.it\/en\/shop\/ski-gloves\/art-269p\/\">art. 269\/P<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/restelliguanti.it\/en\/shop\/ski-gloves\/art-269p\/\">art. 269\/PO<\/a>:  the latter pairs peccary with an opossum fur lining, combining the leather&#8217;s natural resilience with exceptional tactile warmth \u2014 ideal for those who want elegance as well as performance on the slopes.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783073093763\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What does &#8220;Made in Italy&#8221; mean for a Restelli glove?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">It means that the leather selection, cutting, stitching, and finishing all take place entirely in Italy, at the historic premises on Corso Sempione in Milan, where the Restelli family has been crafting gloves since 1920. It is not merely a geographical indication, but the continuation of an artisanal knowledge passed down through three generations in the same place.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783073144179\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Hand-stitched or machine-stitched: which to choose?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Both have their place. Hand stitching is more refined and durable, typically reserved for higher-end models, a prime example of the highest craftsmanship \u2014 for example in the <a href=\"https:\/\/restelliguanti.it\/en\/shop\/mens-gloves\/art-42-2\/\">art. 42<\/a>, where the double hem is entirely hand-sewn. Machine stitching gives a sportier, more contemporary result, well suited to everyday and less formal use.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783073164772\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is &#8220;saddle stitching&#8221;?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">It is a traditional machine-stitching technique from leatherwork, used by Restelli in some of its most refined models (for example in the peccary ski mitten <a href=\"https:\/\/restelliguanti.it\/en\/shop\/ski-gloves\/art-269p\/\">art. 269\/P<\/a> and in the <a href=\"https:\/\/restelliguanti.it\/en\/shop\/ski-gloves\/art-269p\/\">art. 269\/PO<\/a>). <br\/>Restelli presents it as a testament to ancient artisanal knowledge applied to a contemporary product: it is the stitch most similar to hand stitching, visible and external to the product.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783073179857\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is machine saddle stitching, and how does it differ from traditional saddle stitching?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">It is a distinct technique from hand saddle stitching: a visible, sturdy, and decorative stitch executed by machine, which gives the glove a bold, sporty character. Despite the similar name, it is a different construction, designed for models with a more assertive aesthetic. This is the stitch most similar to hand stitching, visible and external to the product. It is a two-thread stitch that makes the glove more tapered: better suited to nappa and suede.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783073205246\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><br\/>What is sheepskin and how is it used in Restelli gloves?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">It is a leather that combines natural wool, used as the internal lining, with a suede-finish exterior. It is the same skin with two distinct sides: one curly and soft in contact with the hand, the other in suede on the outside. It offers exceptional warmth and is particularly well suited to models with a more casual spirit.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1784281682189\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What are &#8220;fourchettes&#8221; and what are they for?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">They are construction details that require exceptional manual skill: small leather inserts stitched between the fingers. Restelli explicitly lists them among the details that distinguish a handcrafted glove.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783073220482\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Why can each Restelli leather have slight variations from one piece to another?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">It is a natural characteristic of high-quality leathers, comparable to the vintages of a champagne: each hide is slightly different from the next. The ability to maintain a consistent standard over time depends on experience and craftsmanship, not on the artificial uniformity of the material.<br\/><\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783073259393\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Why do some gloves have a lateral strip or reinforced eyelets?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">These are hallmarks of Restelli&#8217;s sartorial construction. The lateral strip gives a better fit; the hand-hammered leather eyelets protect the lining and the eyelet itself, while also being a detail of the highest craftsmanship.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783073272841\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Why is the cashmere yarn used by Restelli described as &#8220;2\/28000&#8221;?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">It is the technical designation for the yarn count (Nm 2\/28000), used for pure cashmere gloves and linings. Restelli specifies it explicitly because it guarantees greater durability and warmth compared to more common cashmere.

Some leathers used by Restelli, particularly for ski gloves, are treated to be waterproof. Restelli has been making leather ski gloves for decades: this is an established technical feature, the result of experience accumulated season after season in real snow and cold conditions \u2014 not a recent addition or a surface treatment. When the gloves get wet, they should be left to dry naturally, away from heat sources such as radiators: artificial drying risks altering the leather, making it dry and more prone to cracking, whereas natural drying preserves its softness, elasticity and longevity. Suede requires extra care, as it is more delicate in contact with rain. Recently we have introduced the <a href=\"https:\/\/restelliguanti.it\/en\/shop\/mens-gloves\/art-330\/\">art. 330<\/a>, our first waterproof suede glove.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783073828165\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Five-finger glove or mitten for skiing: which is better?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">It depends on your use and preference. With a mitten, the fingers move more freely inside and warmth is greater because they heat each other: keeping them together retains body heat far more effectively than individual fingers separated, because blood circulation is aided by movement. A five-finger glove offers more sensitivity and precision of movement, ideal for those who alternate fast runs with more relaxed moments and want to maintain control of poles and equipment. It takes a little getting used to a mitten if you have never worn one, but once you do, it is hard to go back.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783073850964\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Which leathers does Restelli use for ski gloves?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The main ones are peccary, a soft and highly durable leather that improves with use, deerskin, elastic and pleasant to the touch, and nappa, refined and smooth, chosen when a more elegant line is desired. Some models, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/restelliguanti.it\/en\/shop\/ski-gloves\/art-269-n-nero\/\">art. 269\/N<\/a>, are crafted from ultra-resistant nappa.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783073885815\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is the warmth scale for Restelli ski linings?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Restelli offers linings with different warmth levels, to be chosen also according to the time of season. Fleece, while still warm, is the least warm in the range and therefore a good choice for milder days \u2014 for example at the end of winter or during spring skiing. Next comes down, then lambskin, and finally opossum fur, which is the warmest of all and the choice for the most demanding conditions. Each lining also has its own aesthetic qualities.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783073901814\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is the difference between an opossum fur lining and a lambskin lining?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Opossum is more elegant, more refined and warmer: its dense structure and silky consistency make it a highly effective natural insulator. Lambskin is also very warm: it regulates temperature well thanks to the natural breathability of wool, keeping hands warm without causing them to sweat.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783073918542\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What is the Hipora\u00ae lining and what is it for?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">It is a technical membrane that provides additional warmth, waterproofing, and is also a good windproof insulator. It is used in some Restelli ski models, such as the mittens in the art. 270 family, in combination with an opossum fur lining.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783073934088\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Is opossum fur a lining used only in women&#8217;s models?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">No. Opossum fur is used in both men&#8217;s and women&#8217;s models \u2014 for example in the unisex peccary mitten <a href=\"https:\/\/restelliguanti.it\/en\/shop\/ski-gloves\/art-269p\/\">art. 269\/PO<\/a>.  It is the best choice for mittens, where the warmth and softness of opossum fur are expressed at their fullest.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783073958845\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Why do some Restelli ski gloves have a zip?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The zip, often branded, is an iconic detail on several Restelli ski models, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/restelliguanti.it\/en\/shop\/ski-gloves\/art-269-n-nero\/\">art. 269\/N<\/a>: it makes the glove easier to put on and helps keep the wrist more protected from the cold, regardless of the lining chosen.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783073983445\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Are Restelli ski gloves only for the slopes, or do they work for apr\u00e8s-ski too?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">They work for the whole day, not just the descent. They are designed to perform beyond the piste: for a stroll through the village in the late afternoon or evening, for apr\u00e8s-ski, for any cold context during a day in the mountains. They are an accessory that accompanies the entire experience, not just skiing itself. They are perfect for walks on snow or near frozen lakes.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783074002543\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Does Restelli also use modern technical materials alongside traditional leathers?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes. In the pursuit of additional performance \u2014 such as greater protection from the elements \u2014 Restelli also uses materials such as eco-fur, alongside well-established technologies such as Hipora\u00ae.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div><div style=\"height:38px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"driving\">Driving gloves<\/h3><div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783326444619\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Do driving gloves actually serve a purpose, or are they purely aesthetic?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">They have a precise technical function: the reduced thickness of fine leathers allows for a better grip on the steering wheel and gear lever, and therefore greater control of the vehicle, as well as freedom of movement and comfort on longer journeys. They are not relics of another era: they are current, high-performing, and elegant \u2014 and they also make a memorable gift. The art. Mille Miglia is perfect for glamorous motoring events. When the hands sweat, the glove keeps grip on the steering wheel and isolates perspiration, the main cause of reduced grip.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783074920403\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What are the perforations on driving gloves for?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The perforations, together with the punched details, ensure better ventilation of the hand during driving. Some models, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/restelliguanti.it\/en\/shop\/driving-gloves\/art-173u\/\">art. 173<\/a>, feature them on the knuckles and fingers for exactly this reason, as well as for their distinctive aesthetic.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783074938120\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Short fingers or full fingers in driving gloves: which to choose?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">It depends on preference and use. The short-finger model is sportier and higher-performing; the full-finger model is more elegant: both are available in the Restelli collection, for example the\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/restelliguanti.it\/en\/shop\/driving-gloves\/article-29-driving-gloves\/\">art. 29 Vintage<\/a> with full fingers and the <a href=\"https:\/\/restelliguanti.it\/en\/shop\/driving-gloves\/article-29c-summer-edition\/\">art. 29C Vintage<\/a> with short fingers. For those buying as a gift, the fingerless model makes it easier to guess the size. They are sometimes also worn while walking to complete the look.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783074949613\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is crochet on driving gloves and why is it used?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Crochet is a hand-worked knitting technique, often in cotton, applied to the back of the glove. It is one of the most recognisable and prized details in the tradition of driving gloves and characterises several Restelli models, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/restelliguanti.it\/en\/shop\/driving-gloves\/article-29-driving-gloves\/\">art. 29 Vintage<\/a> with full fingers and the <a href=\"https:\/\/restelliguanti.it\/en\/shop\/driving-gloves\/article-29c-summer-edition\/\">art. 29C Vintage<\/a> with short fingers. It ensures lightness and ventilation, while the palm remains in leather (perforated nappa) to guarantee grip and sensitivity on the wheel.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783074971300\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Is the cord or wrist strap purely decorative?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">No. The strap with automatic closure, found on several Restelli driving models, makes the fit enveloping and comfortable, while the wrist elastic keeps the fit consistent. It is a functional detail, not merely decorative.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783074994700\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can Restelli driving gloves be personalised?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes. Personalisation is one of the most appreciated features: it is possible to choose colour and details, or add initials or monograms embroidered on the glove. Models such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/restelliguanti.it\/en\/shop\/driving-gloves\/art-mille-miglia-special-edition-customizable\/\">art. Mille Miglia Tailor<\/a> are designed precisely to be customisable in every detail. A personalised glove becomes a personal accessory and a memorable gift.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783075012910\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is the piquet stitch used in some driving gloves?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">It is a refined stitching technique, used in some driving models, that creates a fine and almost invisible stitch for maximum elegance and clean lines. In particular, one layer of leather goes underneath and the other on top.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div><div style=\"height:38px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"mens\">Men&#8217;s gloves: colours and styling<\/h3><div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783326504946\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Classic colours or bold colours for men&#8217;s gloves?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\"><br\/>Classic colours \u2014 black and brown \u2014 are essential: they are the foundation of any men&#8217;s wardrobe and go with everything. Deep black and blue remain synonymous with understated, timeless elegance, perfect for those seeking versatility to suit every occasion. Bolder colours are instead a matter of character: wearing a coloured glove \u2014 such as denim blue, bottle green or cream \u2014 is a touch of audacious elegance, suited to those who want to stand out without excess.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783075025662\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Which glove to choose for wearing over a coat?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\"><br\/>A dress glove is an essential element of men&#8217;s winter elegance: it signals attention to detail and works as a true accessory, not merely protection from the cold. The <a href=\"https:\/\/restelliguanti.it\/en\/shop\/mens-gloves\/art-42-2\/\">art. 42<\/a>, for example, is crafted from peccary with a pure cashmere lining and three raised cord details hand-sewn on the back, available in several colours including tan, blue, and brown.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783075026561\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How to pair leather accessories in a men&#8217;s outfit?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">A few practical principles help: look for colours that complement each other, stay within the same tonal family with different shades, or try a pairing of complementary colours from opposite ends of the colour wheel. The occasion remains the guiding criterion: a black or blue glove works with any classic winter coat, while a bolder shade \u2014 such as denim blue or bottle green \u2014 suits a more informal outfit or a piece meant to stand out. Ultimately, colour pairing is also a personal matter: it is worth experimenting to find your own style. Materials also speak to each other: the Restelli collection is designed to complement both formal garments and more casual accessories \u2014 such as coloured trainers or a cashmere jacket \u2014 so that the entire outfit remains coherent from first detail to last.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783075027951\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What makes a full-grain deerskin glove well suited to elegant use?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Full-grain deerskin offers a combination of softness and durability that is hard to find in other leathers. Its natural grain, deliberately left visible, gives each glove an authentic character that gains appeal with time rather than losing it. Models such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/restelliguanti.it\/en\/shop\/mens-gloves\/art-953\/\">art. 953<\/a> pair full-grain deerskin with a pure cashmere lining, with all external seams entirely hand-sewn.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783075091583\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What makes the Restelli pure cashmere glove (art. 9) special?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/restelliguanti.it\/en\/shop\/mens-gloves\/art-9\/\">art. 9<\/a> is crafted from a cashmere yarn of count 2\/28000. It is a soft and enveloping cashmere, capable of transmitting warmth without feeling heavy or bulky: the quality of the yarn determines the quality of the glove.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div><div style=\"height:38px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"womens\">Women&#8217;s gloves: style and occasions<\/h3><div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783326562195\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How do you wear long women&#8217;s gloves?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Long gloves are comfortable to wear and particularly well suited when the sleeve of the garment is short or absent: they pair well with three-quarter coats, sleeveless puffer jackets, sleeveless fur coats, and capes. Restelli offers several lengths, from minimal models such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/restelliguanti.it\/en\/shop\/womens-gloves\/art-5-pollici\/\">art. 5 Pollici<\/a>, <br\/>in nappa lined with cashmere with a clean, unadorned design, to more dramatic pieces such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/restelliguanti.it\/en\/shop\/womens-gloves\/art-815\/\">art. 815<\/a>, in nappa with an elegant gather that creates a soft drape along the forearm, lined in silk and designed for special occasions.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783075120393\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Women&#8217;s gloves in leather or cashmere: which to choose?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\"><br\/>It depends on the use. Leather \u2014 nappa, deerskin, or suede \u2014 gives structure, elegance and durability to the glove and is the most versatile choice for the city. Pure cashmere, beyond its use as an inner lining in most models, can also be the main material: the <a href=\"https:\/\/restelliguanti.it\/en\/shop\/womens-gloves\/art-305\/\">art. 305<\/a> is a <br\/>glove made entirely from a double layer of cashmere, a construction that doubles the insulating effect, with a single nappa leather hem to finish the wrist. Cashmere is more enveloping and comfortable, but considerably more delicate than leather.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783075121255\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What warm linings are available for women&#8217;s gloves?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Beyond cashmere, Restelli offers several linings designed for intense cold. Orilag is an exceptionally warm and incredibly soft fur, suited to the most demanding temperatures \u2014 for city walks as much as mountain outings. Faux fur, used for example in the <a href=\"https:\/\/restelliguanti.it\/en\/shop\/womens-gloves\/art-980-lady\/\">980 Lady<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/restelliguanti.it\/en\/shop\/womens-gloves\/art-ecofur\/\">art. Ecofur<\/a>, is soft to the touch and provides high thermal comfort without the weight of natural fur. Some more exclusive models, such as the art. 85, also offer a rex rabbit fur lining.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783075122132\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What makes the art. Heritage a distinctive model in the women&#8217;s collection?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/restelliguanti.it\/en\/shop\/womens-gloves\/art-heritage\/\">art. Heritage<\/a> is a made-to-order glove with a delivery time of approximately one week, and it is unlined \u2014 meaning no inner lining, for a sensitivity that Restelli describes as a &#8220;second skin&#8221;, with the hand in direct contact with the suede side of the fine deerskin. The construction features saddle stitching and entirely hand-sewn details. It can also be personalised with the addition of your own initials.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783075190664\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Are there Restelli driving gloves designed with women in mind?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes. The &#8220;Scooter&#8221; capsule includes models such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/restelliguanti.it\/en\/shop\/womens-gloves\/art-assia\/\">art. Assia<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/restelliguanti.it\/en\/shop\/womens-gloves\/art-carlotta\/\">art. Carlotta<\/a>, driving gloves in water-repellent nappa, unlined for lightness and sensitivity, with saddle stitching and a clip fastening: designed to accompany everyday city journeys \u2014 from scooter to car \u2014 offering rain protection as well as elegance. There is also the <a href=\"https:\/\/restelliguanti.it\/en\/shop\/driving-gloves\/art-173d\/\">art. 173d<\/a>, a driving glove in deerskin with entirely hand-sewn seams, designed to complement the feminine hand.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783075224065\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Are Restelli women&#8217;s gloves suitable for a winter wedding or a formal occasion?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\"><br\/>For a wedding, gloves are now rarely worn: it is a context of limited use. Apr\u00e8s-ski is instead a far more natural setting, where the glove is appreciated both for its function and for its aesthetic. For elegant evening occasions, some models in the collection are designed precisely for that use: the <a href=\"https:\/\/restelliguanti.it\/en\/shop\/womens-gloves\/art-815\/\">art. 815<\/a>, with its drape and silk lining, is explicitly recommended by Restelli for special occasions, <br\/>whilst the <a href=\"https:\/\/restelliguanti.it\/en\/shop\/womens-gloves\/art-100\/\">art. 100<\/a>, crafted in nappa with a chain weave, is perfectly suited to an elegant evening.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783075241353\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What details set a Restelli women&#8217;s glove apart from others?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\"><br\/>The construction details make the difference: entirely hand-sewn seams, fourchettes between the fingers for freedom of movement, and precision work such as in the <a href=\"https:\/\/restelliguanti.it\/en\/shop\/womens-gloves\/art-51f\/\">art. 51f<\/a>, with the traditional quarter-cut technique and a wrist slit fastened with a mother-of-pearl button, or in art. 930, <br\/>where the placement of the cuts on the back varies by size to ensure a close but comfortable fit. These are constructions that require considerable artisanal skill and can be felt as much as seen. The art. 500 is one of the latest additions, already appreciated by our retailers: a deerskin glove with a laser-cut and padded clasp, with a chain detail. An example of the highest craftsmanship and research.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div><div style=\"height:54px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Size, fit, and customisation<\/h2><div style=\"height:38px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"size\">Size and fit<\/h3><div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783327105521\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How do I find my Restelli glove size?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">All you need is a ruler and a minute. Place the ruler from your wrist to the tip of your middle finger, with your hand open and flat and fingers together. Read the measurement in centimetres: that number is your size. If you are between two sizes, choose the larger one: high-quality leather adapts progressively to the shape of the hand with wear.

Heritage<\/a> (women&#8217;s, in deerskin, unlined).

They work for Christmas, birthdays, Mother&#8217;s Day, Father&#8217;s Day, Valentine&#8217;s Day: a gift between friends, between husband and wife, for him and for her. In recent years, more and more young people have been choosing them as a symbolic gift to last over time; they are the ideal gift for an 18th birthday.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783075906816\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How do I choose the right model as a gift?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">It depends on the recipient and the occasion. For those who do not know the recipient&#8217;s size, a gift card is the ideal solution: the recipient can choose the model and size they prefer.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783075907838\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Are there models designed as a gift for couples?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, in two different ways. The first is the paired model approach, with a men&#8217;s version and a women&#8217;s version sharing the same material and construction: the <a href=\"https:\/\/restelliguanti.it\/en\/shop\/mens-gloves\/art-51\/\">art. 51<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/restelliguanti.it\/en\/shop\/womens-gloves\/art-51f\/\">art. 51f<\/a>, both in velour suede with the traditional quarter-cut technique and a mother-of-pearl button, or the <a href=\"https:\/\/restelliguanti.it\/en\/shop\/mens-gloves\/art-953\/\">art. 953<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/restelliguanti.it\/en\/shop\/mens-gloves\/art-953d\/\">art. 953d<\/a>, both in full-grain deerskin with a pure cashmere lining. The second involves the ski range: entire families of unisex models, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/restelliguanti.it\/en\/shop\/ski-gloves\/art-269p\/\">art. 269PO<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/restelliguanti.it\/en\/shop\/ski-gloves\/art-996\/\">art. 996\/O<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/restelliguanti.it\/en\/shop\/ski-gloves\/art-269-no-nero\/\">art. 269\/NO<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/restelliguanti.it\/en\/shop\/ski-gloves\/art-269-n-blu\/\">art. 269\/NP<\/a>, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/restelliguanti.it\/en\/shop\/ski-gloves\/art-996-a-nero\/\">art. 996\/A<\/a>, which can be chosen in the exact same model and colour for both.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783075980773\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can an unlined glove make a good gift?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\"><br\/><br\/><br\/>Yes. Unlined gloves, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/restelliguanti.it\/en\/shop\/womens-gloves\/art-heritage\/\">art. Heritage<\/a>, offer a sensitivity that Restelli describes as a &#8220;second skin&#8221;: the hand is in direct contact with the suede side of the leather. It is a gift that communicates care and material quality in the most direct way, and is also particularly well suited as a gift for milder seasons, when a heavy lining is not needed.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783075993988\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Are Restelli gloves suitable for a wedding or a formal occasion?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">For a wedding, gloves are rarely worn today: it is an occasion of limited use. A far more natural context for this kind of gift is apr\u00e8s-ski, where the glove is appreciated both for its function and for its elegance. For elegant evening occasions, there are models designed precisely for that use: the <a href=\"https:\/\/restelliguanti.it\/en\/shop\/womens-gloves\/art-815\/\">art. 815<\/a>, with its drape and silk lining, or the <a href=\"https:\/\/restelliguanti.it\/en\/shop\/womens-gloves\/art-64\/\">art. 64<\/a>, in suede with embroidery and a cashmere lining.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783075996448\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I purchase Restelli gloves online and have them shipped as a gift?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes. Restelli sells online across Europe and in the United States, so it is possible to purchase on the website and have the gloves delivered directly to your home or the recipient&#8217;s, via express courier, with secure payment handling.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div><div style=\"height:55px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Care and durability<\/h2><div style=\"height:38px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"waterproofing\">Waterproofing and resistance<\/h3><div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783326672144\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Are Restelli leather gloves waterproof?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Some leathers used by Restelli, particularly for ski gloves, are treated to be waterproof and will not be damaged by water if handled correctly. Suede is the leather that requires the most care in the rain, as it is more delicate in contact with water than other materials. An exception is the <a href=\"https:\/\/restelliguanti.it\/en\/shop\/mens-gloves\/art-330\/\">art. 330<\/a>, the first Restelli glove in waterproof suede.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783076060089\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>How are Restelli gloves reinforced for intensive use?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Some ski models feature specific reinforcements in the most stressed areas. The <a href=\"https:\/\/restelliguanti.it\/en\/shop\/ski-gloves\/art-350\/\">art. 350<\/a>, for example, has a reinforced palm designed to increase resistance and longevity in daily use on snow, crafted from water-repellent nappa that stands up to cold and wet snow alike.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783076073263\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Do leather gloves deteriorate with everyday use or over time?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">On the contrary \u2014 they are designed to last for decades. This is not just a principle: one customer came in person to show a pair of Restelli ski gloves, used for skiing and motorcycle rides, still beautiful and perfectly functional after 15 years. Another customer sent a photograph of their peccary gloves after 30 years of use. It is not unusual for customers to bring us gloves that are 40 years old for repair: they are family heirlooms passed from one generation to the next.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783076134176\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Are there models designed for outdoor use beyond skiing?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes. Some models combine durability and style for versatile, not purely technical use: the <a href=\"https:\/\/restelliguanti.it\/en\/shop\/mens-gloves\/art-otto\/\">art. Otto<\/a>, for example, is crafted from soft suede lambskin, robust and suited to outdoor activities such as sport or walking, as well as more elegant everyday wear.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div><div style=\"height:38px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"maintenance\">Maintenance and care<\/h3><div style=\"height:55px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div><div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783075882893\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How should leather gloves be dried correctly if they get wet?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">They should never be dried with artificial heat sources such as radiators or heaters. Drying naturally keeps the gloves more resilient, intact and supple over time.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783076184716\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How should Restelli leather gloves be cared for over time?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">They should be dried away from artificial heat sources and conditioned regularly. Suede requires a little extra attention compared to other leathers, as it is more delicate in contact with water. The care routine is simple, but requires consistency over time.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783076193796\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What product should be used to condition Restelli leather gloves?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">A good solution is a moisturising face cream, applied first to a hidden area of the glove to assess the result before applying it to the entire surface.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1784540502873\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How often should Restelli leather gloves be conditioned?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">When you notice it is needed: when the leather has lost its natural softness \u2014 for example after drying out following rain exposure. Simply leave them to dry naturally and then apply a hand cream. The leather must not dry out, as it becomes fragile and wears more easily.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1784540532912\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can Restelli leather gloves be washed?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Not at home.

Mass-market gloves may cost less, but they do not compare in terms of material quality, durability, or craftsmanship. A Restelli glove ages with its owner: it improves with use rather than deteriorating.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783076325711\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What truly distinguishes a handcrafted glove from an industrial one?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The main difference is time. The selection of materials, the hand construction at the workbench, the stitching. Each individual hide is stretched and laid alongside the others before being cut and assembled. Every step requires care and precision, with no shortcuts. We are still the only ones not to finish the leathers: each hide is worked preserving its natural surface, without artificial corrections. A single glove may require the cutting and assembly of over twenty individual pieces \u2014 work that only skilled hands can execute. It is precisely this slowness, characteristic of the slow fashion philosophy, that makes a handcrafted product unique and rich in detail.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783076339495\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Is Restelli a brand for younger generations?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes. Restelli appeals to those who appreciate quality, durability, and timeless elegance. Older generations often have a strong emotional bond with the brand, while younger ones recognise its value and choose it to express a personal vision of authentic elegance, incorporating it naturally into their contemporary way of life.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783076353774\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What makes a Restelli glove different from others?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">It is a symbol of quality understood as experience, fit, and value. It is crafted from selected leathers, hand-worked in Italy for over a hundred years, today by the third generation of the family leading the company. It is a product suited to many different contexts and people: soft to the touch, warm, capable of working in an elegant setting as much as in a more informal one.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783076370771\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Why has Restelli chosen artisanal production over industrial?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">It is a family choice passed down through three generations, from the grandparents to the father Piero and through to Raffaella Restelli, who leads the company today. In a world moving towards industrial production, Restelli has chosen the luxury of slowness: the time needed for care, concentration, and true craftsmanship. For the Restelli family, making a glove has never been just a job \u2014 it is a form of art. A key distinguishing feature is the purchase of leathers in crust.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783076386311\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How is a Restelli glove actually made?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">It begins with the selection of raw materials: personally chosen leathers, soft yet resistant. The craftsmen and craftswomen cut the leather by hand with millimetric precision, one step at a time towards perfection. The final details \u2014 a refined seam, a covered button, a branded zip \u2014 complete the work.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div><div style=\"height:38px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"leather-gloves\">General questions about leather gloves<\/h3><div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783326775996\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is nappa?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Nappa is a leather with a smooth, compact surface, with a subtle sheen that reacts to light differently from a cashmere or deerskin glove. Unlike a knit or suede, it does not soften in texture over time: it stays defined, with a colour that reads full and almost saturated.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783076412170\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is full-grain leather?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">It is leather in which the natural grain is deliberately left intact, without being corrected or sanded: a choice that gives each hide a unique and authentic character \u2014 a distinguishing mark that gains appeal over time, unlike leather that has been artificially smoothed.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783076425580\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is suede?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">It is the inner side of the hide, which in an unlined glove comes into direct contact with the hand, offering a different surface from the smooth outer side used in classic gloves. It has a softer feel to the touch than the grain side.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783076460907\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is the difference between smooth leather (nappa) and suede?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Nappa has a smooth, compact surface that does not soften in texture over time: it stays defined and maintains its sheen. Suede, being worked from the inner side, has instead a softer, more velvety consistency \u2014 closer in feel to a knit.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783076470644\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is peccary?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">It is an exotic leather, naturally water-repellent and particularly robust, recognisable by its characteristic three-pore grain. It is one of the most prized leathers used in glove-making, typically available in tobacco and brown tones.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783076485962\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is the deerskin used in gloves?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">It is a leather selected for its natural elasticity and soft yet resilient grain. It adapts progressively to the hand, improves with use, and ensures comfort even at low temperatures without stiffening: over time, it comes to fit like a second skin.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783076500082\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Why is cashmere so often used as a lining in fine gloves?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\"><br\/>Cashmere is a noble fibre, known for its exceptional warmth and incredible softness: it provides effective thermal insulation without adding bulk, keeping the glove light and elegant even when very warm. Silk is also used as a lining in some elegant models: very fine, it gives a feeling of refined lightness.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783076519032\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What is leather tanning?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">It is the process by which raw hide, once it has passed quality control, is transformed into a noble material ready to last over time. It is a key moment in the production process: the most careful tanning methods take weeks, but they yield leathers that are full, supple, and alive.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783076532796\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Why does a leather glove soften and improve with use?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">It is a natural characteristic of quality leather: it adapts progressively to the hand of whoever wears it, improving with use rather than deteriorating. It is why a good leather glove, over time, fits better and better.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783076548255\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Why are seams so important to the quality of a glove?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Seams are one of the elements that most determine a glove&#8217;s overall durability and fit: their selection and execution \u2014 whether by hand or by machine \u2014 requires specific care precisely because they are the most stressed part during everyday use.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783076564394\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Are leather gloves naturally waterproof?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">No leather is waterproof by nature: some, particularly those used for ski gloves, are specifically treated to become waterproof. For more detail, see the Waterproofing and resistance section.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783076578556\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>How long does a quality leather glove generally last?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">A fine quality leather glove, with the right care, can last many years \u2014 even decades: quality leather tends to improve with use rather than deteriorate. For first-hand accounts, see the Waterproofing and resistance section.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div><div style=\"height:38px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"history\">History and culture of the glove<\/h3><div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783326849722\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">When was Restelli Guanti founded, and by whom?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Restelli was founded in 1920 in Milan, when the grandparents of Raffaella Restelli \u2014 who leads the company today \u2014 opened a shop near the Duomo, where they produced bespoke gloves for an elegant and discerning clientele. In those years, the glove was a symbol of elegance and sophistication, an accessory worn on every occasion.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783076614339\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Dov&#8217;\u00e8 oggi la sede di ResWhere is Restelli Guanti based today?elli Guanti?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">In Milan, at Corso Sempione 84 \u2014 the company&#8217;s historic premises.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783076629441\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How did the iconic Restelli ski glove of the 1950s come about?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">A turning point came in the 1950s, when Piero Restelli and his wife introduced the Sport collection. The waterproof peccary glove lined with opossum fur quickly became a symbol of the Jet Set, and the brand began to gain recognition internationally. That spirit of innovation lives on today in the ski glove collections, which combine noble materials such as deerskin and peccary with modern technologies, including breathable membranes and opossum fur or technical fleece interiors.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783076645240\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Who leads Restelli Guanti today?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Raffaella Restelli, the third generation of the family, leads the company today, continuing the work begun by her grandparents in 1920 and carried forward by her father Piero.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783076658556\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Has Restelli received recognition from the international press?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes. The British monthly Monocle \u2014 an authoritative international reference on design, culture, and lifestyle \u2014 interviewed Piero Restelli at the company&#8217;s premises and reviewed the <a href=\"https:\/\/restelliguanti.it\/en\/shop\/mens-gloves\/art-81\/\">art. 81<\/a> in its &#8220;Things we&#8217;d buy&#8221; column. In December 2025, Restelli was also selected by Class Editori for the project &#8220;I Figli che onorano i Padri e le Madri&#8221;, with an article published in the magazine Capital.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783076681751\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Are Restelli gloves known outside Italy?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\"><br\/>Yes. Ski and driving gloves are sought after from Japan to Switzerland. In Japan, for example, Restelli is distributed by the retailer District United Arrows, which has shared photographs of several models on its channels, including art. 75, the <a

Some leathers used by Restelli, particularly for ski gloves, are treated to be waterproof. Restelli has been making leather ski gloves for decades: this is an established technical feature, the result of experience accumulated season after season in real snow and cold conditions \u2014 not a recent addition or a surface treatment. When the gloves get wet, they should be left to dry naturally, away from heat sources such as radiators: artificial drying risks altering the leather, making it dry and more prone to cracking, whereas natural drying preserves its softness, elasticity and longevity. Suede requires extra care, as it is more delicate in contact with rain.

With a mitten, the fingers move more freely inside and warmth is greater because they heat each other: keeping them together retains body heat far more effectively than individual fingers separated, because blood circulation is aided by movement. A five-finger glove offers more sensitivity and precision of movement, ideal for those who alternate fast runs with more relaxed moments and want to maintain control of poles and equipment.
