Mittens vs. Gloves - Which are warmer? It is an accepted fact that mittens keep your hands warmer than gloves. The large amount of air space in mittens provides better insulation from the cold but that air space also makes using your hands difficult. Gloves are better suited to those people who need finger dexterity in their outdoor activities but at the sacrifice of some warmth especially in prolonged exposure to the cold. Whether you decide on mittens or gloves, rest assured that items made from shearling lambskin are some of the warmest you can own.

Note that gloves we sell  by order (below) are a product of Portugal (not China). Our eyes have just gotten to the point where we have to limit our own glove production. Such is the nature or getting older. But, we have done business with these people for 20+ years and, yes, the rep we deal with was the person who took the time to teach us how to make gloves oh so many years ago.

Portuguese lambskin gloves with a fine European suede finish. The  wool inside is sometimes short and curly, sometimes fine and straight. 

• Available colors are different from our normal shearling colors. COLOR CHOICE LIMITED TO MEDIUM OR DARK BROWN. (Pictures are representative only as colors will vary considerably.)

• Sizes available are Men's Small through XLarge.

• Please be sure to enclose a hand tracing (right hand), fingers spread apart for the best fit. Gloves vary considerably in size from one pair to another even if they are cut from the same pattern. 

• Gloves sold through the mail/over the Internet are hand made in Portugal.

Identical to the men's above but smaller sizes. 

• COLOR CHOICE WILL DEPEND ON SIZE NEEDED. (Pictures are representative only as colors will vary considerably.)

• Sizes available are Women's Small through Large. Again,  please be sure to enclose a hand tracing (right hand), fingers spread apart for the best fit.

• Gloves sold through the mail/over the Internet are hand made in Portugal.
