Leather gloves and driving gloves designed for the collection
In our boutique's selection, we aim to offer a range of leather gloves that meet the needs of even the most demanding gentleman. Therefore, the leather gloves are custom-made specifically for Saarnin boutique. Our selection includes soft winter gloves made from lambskin and luxurious winter gloves made from deerskin with wool linings to keep hands warm in winter. Driving gloves are crafted in color combinations that we design ourselves, offering a unique selection of driving gloves. The driving gloves are made from either lambskin or deerskin.
We select suitable leathers and their combinations from the leather palette. Bright colors are for the driving gloves arriving in the spring season. For the winter season, we choose more subdued color combinations from which warm winter gloves are made.
The long history of the family business
Chester Jefferies founded the glove-making company bearing his name together with Gilbert Pearce in 1936. However, the Jefferies family has a much older tradition of glove-making, as the first Jefferies gloves were made as early as the 1820s.
The gloves are made in Gillingham, Dorset County, England. In glove manufacturing, it has been a tradition that some of the work stages can be done at the worker's home, although nowadays an increasing part of the work is done at Chester Jefferies' own premises.
Handmade
The manufacturing of driving gloves involves many steps that are done purely by hand. The leather is cut by hand, and even some models are entirely hand-stitched. The selection of deer leather gloves in the boutique is handmade with stitching as part of the design. Most of the gloves are cut and sewn from 16 pieces, and some models have so-called quirk pieces or diamond pieces between the fingers. The pieces between the fingers are a sure sign of a high-quality glove. The piece gives more space between the fingers, ensuring the durability of the gloves.
Unlike most gloves made for today's market, Chester Jefferies gloves are made from leathers that are individually inspected and prepared before being hand-cut.
It is precisely this careful preparation and the traditional manufacturing methods used by the company's artisans that ensure the perfect fit and excellent usability of fine English gloves. A blend of these traditional crafting skills and the use of strict quality control methods produces the finest leather gloves.
