A Note on Latex
No latex is used in the materials for any of our gloves or mittens, including the elastic cuffs. However, on occasion our manufacturing partners use a small amount of adhesive to hold leather in place before stitching — as seen on the cuff of the Frontier Mittens and 4-Season Gloves. This adhesive is not harmful to skin or leather and is commonly used in glove construction, but it does contain trace latex. If you have an ultra-sensitive latex allergy, we cannot guarantee zero latex exposure due to this possibility.
Leather Tanning
To prepare the leather, our production partners use sunlight, water-based vegetable tanning, and a great deal of time — rather than faster, chemically based methods. The resulting leather has a distinct color and appearance, with each pair being unique. Our goal is a high-quality product that honors the inputs required and reduces long-term material consumption, making mittens that last generations.
