Hey man, do you live somewhere you wear jeans and boots? Then your hands probably get cold sometimes! You should really try gloves! But don't settle for crummy padded ski gloves when you can get badass leather gloves that look awesome and have fancy insulation to keep you warm. Whether it's a fall chill or sub-zero brutality, I've got the gloves for you.

Vermont glove has been making a great glove since 1920. They're around $100 but are made well and comfortable. They even starting making snowboard mittens (kinda cool)
Cool! None of them are lined though, right? You buy the liner separately and pull the glove over that?
@@Stridewise correct
Got their Vermonter for Christmas, pretty good but the seems take a bit to get used to. I use them for chopping wood, and other light duty stuff.
@@Stridewisethey have a lined one now essentially
When you talk about Hestra gloves in elk leather, you show what Americans call "an elk". This is not, however, what Europeans (including Swedes from Hestra) had in mind - for us elk is what Americans would call "moose", and this is the real source of this leather.
Wait… but elk and moose are different animals entirely and now I’m confused…
@@athenadutton6402 The animal that Englishmen called and still call an elk was for an unknown reason renamed as a moose by Americans. Who at the same time transferred the name "elk" to an animal otherwise called a wapiti.
You should have a look at Dents gloves. A U.K company that have made/make gloves for the royal family and also for James Bond movies etc. Their prices aren’t extortionate either, especially considering they use the best of the best materials.
Thank you for this review it helps me to see how the HESTRA UTSJÖ glove is , there is nowhere a video to be found
Working outside in the North east & Midwest I find that the best are fur lined. Mittens if you do not need dexterity.🥃
I've been wearing leather gloves for work and fashion for 4 decades and this is the first review on TH-cam I have seen. Thanks!
Delighted this scratched your itch Jeremy!
Great video but for a different reason than you think. I just bought a pair of sullivan slippers. I never knew anything like them existed. Thank you!
Haha glad I could help Adrian!
milwaukee battery heated gloves. just got them and they are awesome
This would be great for motorcycling
Perfect timing for the video, I'm looking for winter leather gloves for myself and for my mom actually too, for a gift. But I'm not looking for thick gloves, I'm talking about "driving gloves" style, the tight-fitting fairly thin ones.
Those filson gloves are £235 in the UK 😱
Great video Nick! Thanks for doing all the research. I learned a lot about some really nice gloves. Ed.
Filson's gloves are relabeled Geier Gloves - you can get the Geier brander versions, albeit in deerskin and not goatskin, for about half the price of the Filson branded ones. Same merino wool lining, more sizes, and more colors available if you buy the Geier version. I love mine.
Love my Geier gloves but I'm always looking for a warmer pair. Maybe Hestra next.
I have been wearing deerskin gloves with thinsulate. I live in the Chicago suburbs and they work well.
Deer skin is more durable than lambskin. Has a slightly pebbled look, whereas lambskin is completely smooth appearance.
I’ve been needing a new pair of gloves because the ones I have are thin Isotoners and aren’t that warm. This just happened to pop into my feed today and I ordered a pair of the Hestras after watching it.
Geier Glove and Century Leather Products are both worth a serious look. Both handmade in the US
I have a pair of the Hestras, I got a close out of the huckberry exclusive color in small, which is too small for my relatively small hands but I jam them in anyway because they are far and away the nicest gloves I've ever had
This is my favorite set of B-roll. You really let that shrub have it!
I hate shrubs so much!!!!
“No, I don’t want no shrub….” 🎶
Great video. Both useful info on gloves and some great humor. Loved the Cliffhanger scene and strangling the tree. Haha
Really enjoy your videos. For the city and modern life maybe a video of gloves that are touchscreen compatible?
Have you ever heard of Churchill Gloves? I was debating between Churchill and Sullivan, but ultimately went with Churchill. I bought the elkskin leather, and deerskin leather!
The animal shown on the Hestra Utsjö is not an elk. The elk is a smaller Scandinavian relative to the American Moose.
damn it
I’ve been waiting for a video like this. Thank you so much! I went and got the Swiss ones right away. I can’t wait!
Hestra are so legit. I forgot to show all the other colors of the brands but they got all sorts
This was great timing. I have been wearing kincos for awhile and need something warmer!
Yeah it's funny how easy it is to go years without remembering that cool gloves exist
Dude thanks for making this video! I needed this, Nick
A very cheap option for the last, really rugged category where function is more important than fashion, are welding gloves available from your local Home Depot or similar. These are (obviously) designed to insulate very well and are quite rugged. I have known them to be used by ice climbers who can trash expensive climbing gloves on sharp rocks very quickly.
Kinco Deerskin insulated gloves (model 90HKN) are great! usually found between 25 and 45 usd
Jackpot winter content here!❤🎉I’d like to see Sullivan do a natural (Merino?) liner though. Petroleum (polyester) against our absorbing skin is not generally a good idea.
Yeah but hey, the cost is good
very cool. will pick these up soon
Can't believe you didn't bring up Vermont Glove (formerly the Green Mountain Glove Co.)
Have you tried any Kangaroo leather gloves? I'd love to match well to my Ottawa Grant Stones (thanks for suggesting them, their durability did a ton when I got into a morotcycle accident).
I see that many kangaroo leather gloves exist, but I don't want to get a pair with good materials and a bad fit.
Hey, love the video (wish it came out 24 hours earlier but I'm happy with the gloves I picked out last night).
An interesting piece of trivia is that the animal that we americans call an elk is a different critter from what europeans call an elk. In the European context, elk is typically what we would call a moose here in the states. The american elk (wapiti) has to specified as american or wapiti to differentiate it from Moose.
I mention it because you showed a picture of an American Elk for the Hestra gloves elk leather. I was wondering if that is accurate or if they are in fact Moose leather? It wouldn't much of a difference in most of the leather characteristics as they are all in the deer family, but moose leather tends to be quite a bit thicker.
The moose and elk are both deer with the moose being the largest deer in the world.
Hestra is specifically referring to Scandinavian-sourced elk, so they most definitely mean the animal you know as a moose.
Now we need an unlined video. Tks
great content - greetings from Falcon, WA!
I think this a great idea for a video but I must admit that none of the gloves mentioned here are to my liking. My personal favorite are the gloves made by Gentleman’s Gazette. Then again, I prefer to dress more formally so my style bias is reflected in my preferred gloves of choice. Their calf skin gloves fit very well, which a plus because I don’t like gloves that needlessly bulky. I love work gloves too but I don’t wear those for style.
you know i thought they were too expensive, but I see they have some for $160. I was going for picks that are in line with my channel's style, like casual but nice
@@Stridewise I completely understand and admire your thoughtfulness in keeping the scope of your choices in mind with your intended audience. Yes, the prices of GG gloves vary by style and leather types (e.g., calf skin vs peccary leather) but my pair has been a fair accessory. The price certainly kept me out for years but after I got a pair from Nordstrom I didn’t like how bulky it was so i decided to try the GG gloves. Thank you for the great content!
Damn, kinda wanting some of those opera gloves now lol - they look nice!
haha there are lined ones that work on touchscreens! stridewise.com/shaftesbury-gloves/
I'm a big fan of Chester Jeffries (I got their deer skin version, wool lining, black and brown pairs). They've done me well for three years now. Ships from England (I'm in the US). Each pair (plus shipping) came to about $120 US. Mine also have great detailing (like snaps). Not too thick, so can be worn with dress overcoat and retain dexterity. I actually conceal carry--I've practiced drawing with the gloves on and it's actually not an issue.
Chester Jeffries sadly closed down in the summer after 90 years of operation.
@@UnknownUser-rb9pd I went to their website after I posted my comment. You might be right...based on the wording on their website, they either only sell to directly to retail businesses now, or they're taking a break from selling to regular customers now (either way, they're only selling to retailers now). Too bad, but I think my two pairs of gloves will last a long time. Also, it helps I live in Atlanta, GA, and thus winter gloves don't get much mileage here lol.
@@g.shumway5925 From the Guardian newspaper 31st May 2022. "For over 85 years, Chester Jefferies has made gloves fit for a Queen. But now, the company that once supplied the royal family is closing down, ."
I don't know if they have restarted under new owners but definitely did close down.
Dents are the other major British glove manufacturer but they moved manufacturing of their cheaper ranges to the Czech Republic a long time ago. Having said that, I own several pairs of both British and Czech made Dents and they are equally well made.
@@UnknownUser-rb9pd I shied away from Dents since they were a bit out of my price range ($400 US if I remember). But they are beautiful and I assume extremely well-made, plus a great history behind. It's hard for me to justify such a purchase in warm Atlanta (though not currently lol).
Hands down, peccary leather is the best
Nice video! What’s the dark leather jacket you’re wearing towards the beginning of the video?
Thanks! It's the carrier jacket from cockpit USA, i'm posting a video on it next week!
@@Stridewise Thank you! I’ve been looking for this style jacket for awhile now. I used to have one similar from Gibson & Barnes out of SD that was great, but I outgrew it and they stopped producing it. Curious to watch your video and your thoughts on sizing, the elbow patch, and zippers on sleeves. Thanks again! Big fan of your work!
Nearly all my gloves are Hestra. They're pricey, but I think it's worth it for the quality and fit; plus even though they have special categories of gloves, they can crossover fairly well without completely failing. Your other picks are interesting too.
Yeah I adore my Hestra gloves and wear them all the time!
The Utsjö is not Wapiti leather. It is Moose leather! Outsider the USofA an Elk is a Moose (If it makes sense) 😉! Cheers Oni
I prefer to hug trees but to each their own
How to care these gloves?
When wearing multiple leathers (gloves + boots + belt + jacket, even a bag) what are your rules on coordinating color?
Good question! Basically I just make sure everything is either earth tones or cooler tones (grey/black/blue). So I go with the orangey gloves with a brown jacket or brown gloves with a tan jacket, and brown or tan boots otherwise. The belt matches the jacket or the boots. Or all of them, but if I'm brown jacket/belt/boots I def try to make the gloves gold/tan so they don't blend into the sleeves :)
Is it safe to treat these gloves with mink oil to help with water resistance?
Edit : An Elk is a deer.
Love this video!
Just bought Hestra off this review
I Have a few pair of nice leather gloves . $50 . It Is all I will pay . I put a wool pair of gloves inside them . Job done and I live in Toronto.
good job dave
The only thing that sucks about leather phones is they make your phone unusable
I don’t think this will help me in -58 with windchill
Peccary >>>>
also, I have the Giver'r gloves and they're too heavy duty for my 400 yard walk to the office. But, they're great gloves.
What colour are those Utsjo gloves please? 🔥
I think Espresso, it's called? I wear them HEAPS, love em
@@Stridewise many thanks for the reply. I've just ordered a pair in Chestnut. 😬
sub-zero means below zero celsius, right?
I was talking Fahrenheit here
Where's the wool 4 pocket jacket from seen at 4:08?
That's my Filson Mackinaw! th-cam.com/video/yATN_4QC0YU/w-d-xo.html
@@Stridewise I meant the dark colored one at 4:10. Sorry for the confusion :(.
@@MastaOfDisast4 th-cam.com/video/g8PZSBqBIkQ/w-d-xo.html
There are no elk in Sweden, but moose. So its probably moose leather.
Looked it up the the Hestra Utsjø are definetly made from moose, not elk.
No vermont glove? Im shocked good vid though
they aren't lined!
@Stridewise ok i see what you mean
@@Stridewise The Vermonter isn’t, but the glove they call the ‘Tuttle’ is lined.
😍😘😘🇵🇰
❤❤
Stridewise making a non footwear related video?? Is this a code?! BLINK THREE TIMES IF YOU NEED HELP!
Give'r gloves aren't rhat great
America does not make good leather dress gloves. Just my own opinion.
You don’t reply to earnest and serious questions on your channel. Since this is the way you roll perhaps it would be better for me and other like minded subscribers to unsubscribe?
Primaloft kind of sucks. It's great initially but loses its thermal properties very quickly.
Vermont glove has been making a great glove since 1920. They're around $100 but are made well and comfortable. They even starting making snowboard mittens (kinda cool)
