Gloves
-
Hey @Jase68 i am more than pleased with the gloves. I have been wearing them daily during the winter months walking the dog and was riding in them. They hold up strong with little signs of wear.
I have been cleaning them once with saddle soap and conditioned them afterwards.
So far I can only recommend these.

Those are beautiful. I thought they were deerskin at first, as I have some deerskins that look similar except for a slightly different grain. I find the deerskins to be a great glove and I am sure elk is at least as good for gloves.

Cheers mate
These are the Elk from Sweden right? Crud?
-
Exactly. Elk skin from the US manufactured in Sweden. There are other leather options but I opted for these since I wanted something warmer. I ride in the motostucka in summer.
Hi mate,
I got a pair of Elk lined and unlined - they are great! Service and shipping was on point too. Many thanks for pointing me in this direction !

About time some IH gloves are posted in this thread, right? Got these 5 years ago from IHJ with help from the IHUK Stubborn Crew. They are my in-town motorcycle daily drivers and have held up amazingly well. I have a black and a brown pair but decided to post the brown ones as they show patina much better than my black ones.
IHGB-01-BRN Gloves, leather, motorcycle, short cuff
When new, they were light brown colored, about the tone of brown you can still see on the knuckle area top-side of the glove. Have never conditioned and they’ve gradually darkened quite a bit. Especially the grip-side of them.
The journey is the objective.

Wow those are sweet! Cool finding new items I never thought existed!

@motojobobo summer ones but in black. Recently got them 2 weeks ago while in Japan
-
Beauties @louisbosco ! Didn’t realize till now that I need real summer gloves like those in my hot and muggy weather.
-
@motojobobo I believe I first saw the ones you have at the Nagoya store. but was quite set on the perforated ones.
-
@motojobobo and @louisbosco did you find that the IH gloves stretched out over time?
-
@jonpwn yeah its definitely stretched a little. but it's more molded to my hand shape now that I've put more wear with it.
mine were a little tight at the start but didn't realise until I first wore them riding. they fit perfectly when I tried them on. would have gotten the M if I realised but no biggie..
-
@jonpwn mine never Stretched. They were tight from the beginning and still are. I’d size to your true size on them.

Realizing this isn’t much of a work glove thread but too lazy at the moment to write up a deserving “Vermont Glove” thread of its own; like most things made/manufactured out of VT, IMO these gloves are best in class. Recently replaced a pair after over a decade of abuse (at only about a %15 increase in price to the originals)… once you splurge for some, there’s no going back to the cheaper pairs that need to be replaced yearly.

Speaking of gloves, recently picked up these Hestra’s that should go well w Indigo or maybe even Turquoise flannels

Check out these handmade buffalo gloves. I have a pair, and they were incredibly tough to break in... making a fist felt like a workout!
