Hestra “UTSJÖ” Elk Leather Gloves

[These] are like clouds for my hands.

Jeff Sheldon, Ugmonk

Hestra is a glove company in Sweden that’s now in its fourth generation of family ownership, and over the course of 80-plus years, they’ve really nailed their material sourcing and manufacturing processes, crafting various lines of high-quality gloves for military use, winter sports, and everyday wear.

Their UTSJÖ dress gloves are made from Scandinavian elk leather for a soft and supple outer feel — not to mention an utterly classy style that looks great anywhere — while the inside is insulated with Primaloft Gold, a polyester with the softness and warmth of down lining but with the added benefit of actually staying warm even if it gets wet.
