More Info
The Geier gloves we carry are made in the Gunn pattern, in full-grain leather. The seams along the fingers are at the back to provide longer wear, leaving a smooth surface where the fingers apply stress. There is a seam on the inside at the base of the two central fingers. Except on the lightweight gloves, welts are used on the seams of the thumb and base of fingers to protect the seams from wear. The thumb is the stick-out or wing pattern, for easy thumb movement.
Leather gloves in normal use require little care. Gloves which are normally kept dry will pick up enough natural oils from the skin to keep them supple. If they do become wet, and somewhat stiff after drying, they will soon soften with wearing.
After some period of use, especially a soaking, most leather will benefit from a good leather dressing. All Geier Gloves can be made more water resistant by applying Pecard Leather Dressing. The full grain western chrome tanned finish leather of the Deer and Elkskin gloves give a particularly exceptional grip on tools and reins known as a "Western Drag". Since this dressing leaves a slightly waxy surface, it will alter the Western drag characteristic. For this reason we suggest you test the dressing on the back of a glove to evaluate the change. The dressing will darken light leather somewhat.
