Description
Fingered gloves in shearling for women.
A beautiful, stylish glove for women in black shearling with a fine fur trim of silver fox.
Fingered gloves in shearling are practical, because you don’t have to take them off when you need to enter a PIN code, open your bike lock or scratch your ear.
Shearling gloves keep your hands warm when it is cold and are a good alternative to sealskin mittens.
A little practical information about the black fingered gloves in shearling with trim of silver fox:
The model is a simple and classic fingered glove, which is a bit thick because of the material.
Shearling is not the thinnest type of skin, but highly loved, because it is warm and practical in winter.
The gloves are sewn from leftover skins from a sewing workshop that makes shearling jackets.
Colour:
black with a beautiful grey-black trim of silver fox (see photo)
You can also get this model without fur trim in cognac and black
Size:
The glove in shearling is available in 4 sizes:
- Small – corresponds to size 7
- Medium – corresponds to size 7.5
- Large – corresponds to size 8
- X-Large – which corresponds to size 8.5 – 9 (a man’s hand)
Please note:
The gloves are sewn by hand. This means they can vary slightly in size.
If you are on the fence between 2 sizes, you should choose the smaller size.
Suede is a soft material and it stretches with use and moulds to fit your hand.
Lining:
These fingered gloves are lined with black and delicious, warm shearling, which lies softly around your fingers and hand.
Shearling has a curly side, which is used for the lining, and a fine suede-like side which is used for the outside.
The fur trim:
The beautiful fur trim is of silver fox, which gives the glove a really beautiful look and a guarantee of many long curious glances.
There are almost as many foxes in Greenland as there are seals in the sea around Greenland.
The hunters receive an amount from the municipality for every fox they catch.
Practical tip for a cold day:
If you can bear to hide the beautiful fur trim, you can pull the sleeve out over the gloves, and you get better protection of your wrist against the winter cold, because you keep your wrist warm.
Suggestion for your wish list:
You can add the black fingered gloves with fur trim in silver fox to your wish list.

Sizes and Measurements
Size & Measurements for gloves and mittens in shearling.
It is important to us that you get exactly the right size the first time. Our shearling mittens are, as a starting point normal in size – so choose the size you normally use.
3 good things to remember when you choose:
-
Shearling stretches: Shearling is a soft natural material that quickly moulds to your hand. If the mitten feels a little tight at first, it will expand and adapt perfectly.
-
Are you between two sizes? Then we recommend that you choose the smaller size, as the skin stretches with use.
-
Handmade uniqueness: As all our products are 100% handmade, small millimetre deviations in the measurements may occur.
How to find your glove size:
Measure the circumference of your hand with a tape measure (under the knuckles and over the thumb):

Care of shearling
Daily use and care:
-
Give it peace and air: Shearling benefits greatly from being aired out – preferably in slightly damp weather (but not in pouring rain). The fresh weather cleans the wool naturally.
-
Protect the leather side: Before you use your shearling product for the first time, we recommend giving the leather side a mild waterproofing spray intended for leather/suede.
When accidents happen – Cleaning
-
Dry stains: If you have got dust or dry dirt on the leather side, it can often be gently brushed off with a soft leather or suede brush.
-
Spilled liquid: Dab immediately with a dry, absorbent cloth (avoid rubbing the dirt into the leather). If necessary, you can wipe lightly with a slightly dampened cloth with clean, lukewarm water.
NOTE:
Contact your local dry cleaner in case of bigger accidents. They can advise and help you with the best skin cleaning.
What you should avoid
-
Avoid soaking: Shearling tolerates a light drip, but should not be soaked.
-
No artificial drying: Always let shearling dry slowly in a ventilated room. Tumble dryers, radiators and direct sunlight are absolutely forbidden.
-
Go easy on detergents: Never use ordinary washing powder or washing-up liquid.

Bonus info about shearling - what you didn't know you needed to know
Do you want to know the story behind the material shearling?
We have gathered a number of fun facts, historical eureka moments and secrets about shearling, which make your new purchase even more special.
History, Nature & Craft
-
A genuine 2-in-1 from nature: Shearling is not composed of two different layers that are sewn or glued together. The leather and the soft wool are one and the same piece of natural material – with the hard-wearing leather side outwards and the warm wool inwards.
-
From food culture to luxury: Just as with our other materials, shearling is a direct by-product of food production. By using the skin from the animal we ensure that nothing goes to waste, but is instead transformed into beautiful and durable craft.
-
Favourite of historic air heroes: During the First and Second World Wars, fighter pilots wore heavy shearling jackets. In the uninsulated aircraft kilometres up, shearling was the only material that could keep the pilots warm in the extremely biting cold.
-
Built-in “patina guarantee”: Shearling is a living material that only becomes more beautiful with time. The more you use it, the more character, softness and personal soul the leather side gets.
Performance & Unique properties
-
Nature’s own air conditioning: Shearling has a fantastic ability to regulate temperature. The dense wool inside insulates against biting cold, while at the same time letting the skin breathe, so you neither become damp nor overheated.
-
Self-cleaning with lanolin: The wool fibres on the inside naturally contain the fat lanolin. Lanolin makes the wool naturally repellent to dirt, dust and bacteria – which is why shearling rarely needs a proper wash.
-
Revives in damp air: If the wool or leather feels a little flat after long use, simply hang the shearling out in damp weather (e.g. in the morning under a lean-to roof). The moisture in the air makes the wool fibres elastic again and brings the fullness back to life.
-
Naturally resistant to wind: The leather side works as an effective, natural wind shield, while the wool side captures body heat. That makes shearling products unsurpassed for the changeable Nordic weather.
Comfort & Sensitive skin
-
Wonderful softness against the skin: The natural crimp in the shearling wool creates tiny air cushions against the skin, which distribute pressure and warmth evenly. That gives an incomparable, soft comfort.
-
Absorbs moisture without feeling wet: Shearling can absorb up to 30% of its own weight in moisture without feeling wet or cold to the touch at all.
-
Timeless durability: Shearling is one of the most hard-wearing natural materials there is. If you just take a little care of it, you have a product that lasts for decades – and that can easily be passed down.
