Elkskin Slip-on Work Glove

Work gloves not only have to protect your hands, they also have to be comfortable enough that you’ll actually wear them. The Elkskin Slip-on Work Gloves by Geier are just about the best outdoor work gloves around because of their balance between protection and comfort.

The medium weight elkskin has the silky soft feel of Geier’s deerskin gloves, but is slightly thicker, for a more cushioned, slightly warmer glove, that is exceptionally durable.

These gloves are perfect for rough tasks like shoveling, handling rough materials, or swinging a heavy hammer. The simple, slip on design is no-fuss, and has a classic time tested look. Keep them clean, and they’re a fashionable cool weather driving glove. Wear them in, and they’re all business.

Made in the USA from unlined tannery run elkskin leather.

Measuring your glove size:

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

For a REGULAR FIT add 1/2″ to your measurement. This is your unlined glove size.

For a RELAXED FIT add 1″ to your measurement.

For a PERFORMANCE FIT (snug fit) simply use the measurement in inches. Please note that a performance fit is intended to feel snug, and over time the high quality leather will form to your hand.

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

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 – providing a personalized fit that you won’t find in any where else.

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.
