Brown & Blue Cashmere Lined Peccary Gloves

The Benchmark for Luxury Leather Gloves

The search for the perfect glove usually ends in one of two disappointments: you find a pair that is incredibly soft but paper-thin and fragile, or you find a pair that is durable but stiff and clunky. Most men assume you can’t have both, but peccary leather is the rare,...

The search for the perfect glove usually ends in one of two disappointments: you find a pair that is incredibly soft but paper-thin and fragile, or you find a pair that is durable but stiff and clunky. Most men assume you can’t have both, but peccary leather is the rare, prized exception. It is world-renowned for being buttery-soft to the touch while remaining one of the most durable, scratch-resistant leathers in existence.

What makes peccary leather gloves so unique—and why they are often considered the pinnacle of luxury—is the natural elasticity of the hide. Unlike standard cowhide or even fine lambskin, peccary has a unique "stretch" that allows the glove to mold perfectly to the contours of your hand without losing its shape. This is why many ask, "is peccary leather expensive?" The answer lies in the rarity of the wild-sourced hides and the fact that they must be hand-cut by master glovers to account for the leather's unique grain.

These gloves are the ultimate bridge between formality and rugged practicality. They look perfectly at home with a charcoal business suit, yet they are tough enough to be used as high-end driving gloves. To truly understand what peccary leather gloves are and how they perform in the cold, explore our definitive glove guide.

Choose between our cashmere-lined options for deep winter or silk-lined versions for a sleek, transitional feel, and invest in a pair that won't just last a season, but will develop a beautiful character over a lifetime.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are peccary leather gloves?

    Peccary leather gloves are made from the hide of the Peruvian peccary, a wild forest dweller. The leather is famous for its distinctive three-dot pore pattern and its incredible combination of softness and durability. It is widely considered the finest material for luxury gloves due to its ability to stay supple for decades.

  • Are peccary gloves worth the investment?

    Yes, for the discerning gentleman, they are a definitive "lifetime buy." While the initial cost is higher due to the rarity of the leather and the labor-intensive hand-sewing required, their longevity far exceeds that of standard leather gloves. They actually become more comfortable and develop a richer patina with every wear.

  • Are peccary gloves warm?

    Peccary itself is a fantastic natural insulator because it is thick enough to block wind while remaining breathable. However, the ultimate warmth depends on the lining. Our cashmere-lined versions are designed for sub-zero temperatures, whereas our unlined or silk-lined versions are intended for those who prioritize maximum dexterity and a closer fit.

  • Is peccary leather waterproof?


    Like all high-end leathers, peccary is naturally water-resistant to a degree and can handle light rain or snow without issue. However, it is not "waterproof" in the sense of a synthetic material. If they do get wet, it is vital to let them air dry naturally at room temperature. For more care tips, see our guide on how high-end leather gloves are made.

  • Do peccary gloves stretch over time?

    They ease naturally but retain shape better than many smoother leathers due to the hide’s structure.

  • What is the "three-dot" pattern on the leather?

    These are the natural hair follicles of the peccary hide, appearing in distinct clusters of three. This pattern is a hallmark of genuine, high-quality peccary and is proof that the leather is full-grain and has not been sanded down or corrected. If you don't see these pores, it isn't true peccary.

  • Do peccary gloves smell?

    Genuine peccary leather has a very faint, pleasant, earthy scent—similar to high-end calfskin—which is a result of the traditional vegetable-tanning process. It does not have a strong or "wild" odor, and any faint scent typically dissipates shortly after being taken out of the packaging.
