Bear Knuckles gloves are designed to fit tightly for better control and dexterity. Our sizing guide reflects a glove that will fit like a second skin. With regular break-in, the leather will expand and conform to the natural shape of your hand. If you desire a loose fitting glove, we recommend sizing up (L instead of M).
Conditioning Leather for First Time Use
To achieve a perfect fit, Bear Knuckles leather gloves should conform tightly to your hands when wearing for the first time as leather will stretch.
- Put leather gloves on
- Spritz with water
Note: If gloves are water/oil resistant, use mink oil or leather conditioner instead of water - Wear until dry
Maintenance & Cleaning
All Bear Knuckles gloves are safe to hand or machine wash and dry. After machine washing, gloves will shrink to original size and may be stiff. Follow Break-in Steps above to recondition.Old Faithful - D351
I recently bought a pair of these. I have big hands I always wear 3xl gloves. If I had bought based on your size chart I can guarantee they would have been way to small. I grew up wearing Wells Lamont gloves (Yes I am old). I learned from wearing them you put them on, get them wet and wear them dry, just as you advise. I wish I had these when I started wearing leather gloves 50 yrs ago. I am truly impressed with them. I spend quite a bit on gloves because I want quality. after buying these and working in them I will not buy another brand ever. I will be returning to get a pair of Bushwackers for the more demanding work I do and before it gets wet and cold out side I will be getting a paid of Bodacious to keep dry when it gets nasty out. As mentioned before , to me, they seem like they are sized small, the size guide says I should have bought large but the 3xl fit perfectly. I do have long fingers. I will also be letting all my friends know where to get a very good pair of work gloves. No one looks forward to doing work. But I do look forward to getting a chance to wear these gloves. Good job on some damn fine work gloves.
Sturdy and comfortable gloves. Live them. Then only complaint is the odor is a bit strong and not the most pleasant.
Seemed well made, bought several pairs, this was the first pair I tried, first day using them in the farm and in under a day I had holes in the thumb and pointer fingers from putting up hay. I have been using gloves from the feed store for years and was fed up with them lasting around a week to 10 days before getting holes or coming apart but at about half hour the price of old faithful, I guess I will be going back to old faithful. $120 down the drain on over priced junk and cannot hold up to farm life. Not sure how they got all the 5 star reviews....
I have bought a couple pairs of the "old faithful" gloves. Love them. I have laid out over 8000 feet of wire cattle fence with them. They eventually wore a hole in the glove but that was after 5 or 6 months of usage. Just got ordered this again, along with the "heavy duty" ones to see any difference.
