'Song of Hiawatha' by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
‘He had mittens, Minjekahwun,
Magic mittens made of deerskin;
When upon his hand he wore them,
He could smite the rocks asunder,
He could grind them into powder.’
Insights
The company making these gloves was founded in 1971 by a welder, working on the Tyne, who saw the need for better work gloves. The popularity of the high quality examples he then produced encouraged him to design gloves for other uses, particularly gardening. The rest, as they say, is history.
Details & Care
- Materials: high quality deerskin leather (palm), lycra, nylon, foam and velcro
- Allow to air dry naturally then clap hands together to dislodge dirt. If washing is necessary, hand wash in a bowl of lukewarm water with a drop of washing up liquid, drain and air dry.
