FAQ - Peccary Leather Gloves
What is peccary leather?
Peccary leather comes from the wild peccary, a small boar native to South America. These hides are sourced under strict CITES regulations. What sets peccary apart is its unmatched softness, natural elasticity, and the unique three-prong pore grain visible on the surface. It’s a rare, tactile leather that feels incredibly supple yet holds up to years of use.
Where does peccary leather come from?
Our peccary leather is sourced from regions in South America where the animals are ethically and legally harvested as part of population control programs. Because the hides are wild-sourced, you may notice small natural marks. These are authentic characteristics, not imperfections.
What makes peccary leather so expensive?
Peccary leather gloves represent one of the most exclusive investments in luxury craftsmanship—and for good reason. The supply of genuine peccary hides is strictly limited, sourced only through regulated, legal hunting in South America. This scarcity, combined with the technical demands of working with such delicate yet durable leather, means only a handful of expert artisans worldwide can produce them to the highest standard.
Each pair is handmade in Naples, Italy, following over 200 years of glove-making tradition. The process includes more than 10 meticulous steps—from hand-cutting the hides to sewing, shaping, lining with cashmere, and detailed finishing.
The result is a glove that offers exceptional softness, durability, and timeless elegance—designed to mold to your hand and last for decades. This rare leather, combined with expert craftsmanship and true Italian quality, makes peccary gloves among the most sought-after in the world.
Why are peccary gloves so exclusive?
Due to strict international regulations, only licensed artisans, particularly in gloving regions like Naples, are permitted to work with peccary. Each glove is individually handcut, sewn with precision, and goes through more than ten detailed quality steps. This level of craftsmanship, combined with the rarity of the leather, makes peccary gloves one of the most exclusive glove types in the world.
Are these peccary gloves warm enough for cold winter weather?
Yes, they are. Our peccary gloves are lined with natural cashmere and other warm linings for exceptional insulation and comfort. The leather’s dense grain and structure help retain warmth, making them ideal for both cold winter climates and everyday use in seasonal city environments.
Will the peccary leather stretch or mold with wear?
It will. Peccary leather naturally conforms to your hand over time, becoming even softer and more comfortable with use. It offers a perfect balance of flexibility and structure, unlike synthetic materials, which can degrade quickly.
How durable is peccary leather?
Peccary is among the most durable leathers used for gloves. Its dense grain makes it resistant to wear, while its flexibility helps prevent cracking. With proper care, peccary gloves can last a lifetime and often improve in character as they age.
What craftsmanship goes into your peccary leather gloves?
Each pair is entirely handmade in Naples, Italy—a region with over 200 years of glove-making tradition. The process involves more than ten meticulous production steps, including hand-cutting the hides, creating intricate details, precise stitching, shaping, lining with materials such as pure cashmere, and carefully finishing the leather surface.
The result is a glove that combines exceptional softness, natural elasticity, and lasting durability—designed to mold perfectly to your hand and endure for decades. It’s this combination of rare materials, expert craftsmanship, and uncompromising Italian quality that makes peccary gloves one of the most prestigious glove choices in the world.
