Frequently Asked Questions

What is peccary leather?

Peccary is leather from a wild boar species native to South America. Distinguished by clusters of three pores in the grain, the hide produces leather that is soft as silk yet remarkably stronger than lamb. Considered one of the most prized glove leathers in the world.

Is peccary regulated?

Yes. Peccary is listed under CITES Appendix II, which means international trade is permitted only with documented permits and traceability from origin. Each hide we work with is traced from the regulated quota in Peru through tanning to final manufacture.

What are the 'triplet pores'?

They are the signature mark of peccary: small clusters of three natural pores visible on the grain, derived from the animal's hair structure. They make every pair slightly different from the next.

Is peccary good for driving?

Yes. Drivers appreciate peccary for the combination of softness, grip on the wheel and resistance over time. Suitable for both unlined driving and cashmere-lined city wear.

How do I care for peccary gloves?

Peccary is more durable than lambskin and more forgiving with moisture. Blot dry if wet, air-dry at room temperature, condition once a season with a high-quality leather cream. Avoid the strongest commercial conditioners; the grain reads cleaner with minimal product.

What size should I order?

Measure the circumference of your dominant hand at the knuckles. View the men's size guide for the full method. Peccary stretches very little but moulds to the hand; pick your true size.

Men's Peccary Leather Gloves

The most prized leather in glove-making

A peccary glove surprises because it combines two qualities rarely found together: an extremely soft hand and serious durability in daily wear. The peccary is a wild boar from regulated quotas in Peru, distinguished by leather as soft as silk and a remarkable resistance to wear. To the touch it feels full, warm, almost silken, yet never fragile. It moulds progressively to the hand, follows movement and keeps a solid presence after many seasons.

Hand-feel: peccary's tensile strength means a thinner shell can handle the same wear as a heavier nappa. The result is a glove that is featherweight in the hand yet built for years of daily use. The grain reads cleanly under direct light, with the famous triplet pores visible on every pair.

CITES Appendix II and traceability: peccary cannot be farmed; supply comes only from regulated wild quotas under permit. Each hide is CITES-traced from origin through tanning to manufacture. We work with batches as they become available, never on a fixed annual production.

Who orders peccary: leather collectors, drivers who appreciate the difference, wearers of bespoke suits looking for the matching glove. The top of the men's leather hierarchy.
