This company operates an ethical policy using leather that is free from toxic additives.
Because of this and the need for comfort and flexibility (we can use other leathers but the quality would be compromised) there may be some colour loss from the leather. This can be reduced by hand washing the gloves using a mild detergent then rinsing them until the water is clear. It is important to let the gloves dry naturally (do not place them on a heated object or spin dry).
