Our Supima Cotton is grown in the San Joaquin Valley of California and knitted into pure Cotton Jersey in Fehraltorf, Switzerland. Lightweight and comfortable, it has remained the simple day glove material of choice for good reason. The cotton is rated UPF 50, offering the highest level of protection against the sun's ultraviolet rays.
Swiss cotton is tailored restraint — crisp, breathable, and beautifully structured. It’s not delicate, but it is precise. A glove made from Swiss cotton holds its shape naturally, so long as you don’t crowd it or rush the wash.
Think of it as a lightweight classic that thrives with quiet discipline.
Let it breathe. Place your gloves inside a mesh bag and wash with a small load. Avoid wringing or spinning too hard. Once clean, lay them flat, and take a moment to adjust the edges and trims before they dry.
Machine wash cold in a mesh delicates bag on a gentle cycle. Dry flat. Reshape as needed. Avoid tumble drying and excessive friction.
For gloves with embroidery, scalloped edges or shape retention issues, a specialist in cotton tailoring can restore sharpness without compromising structure.
