Black Silk Lined Hairsheep Leather Gloves By Hestra
$150.00
Old world craftsmanship elevates your every gesture. Superfine leather from the softest Ethiopian hairsheep is first tanned and dyed in Naples, and then table cut according to the French method dating back to the 17th century, ensuring an unparalleled fit. Each pair is deliciously lined with silk for a bit of warmth when the weather turns chilly. Fun fact: little triangles sewn between each finger called “quirks” ease strain on seams and improve articulation—a detail much prized in our grandmother’s time but only found in high end gloves these days. Glossy black or chestnut brown
