You Wouldn't Wear Gloves
If You Didn't Have To.

Most gloves are clumsy, clammy, thickly insensitive.

Goatskin addresses the sensitivity problem, but not the numbing cold. Calfskin, widely available, is poor, in my opinion, at either task. And capeskin is nothing more than high-priced goatskin.

The practical answer, right under the noses of the colonists the day they arrived, is deerskin. It's not only supple and sensitive, but noticeably sensuous. Its inside nappiness is an excellent insulator; its resistance to repeated wetness is unequaled. Wet deerskin gloves don't turn into dry wooden boards.

I know they are available elsewhere. I'm offering them anyway. I can't resist the best.
