Deerskin leather has a  distinct structure and a tighter grain pattern and a thicker covering of collagen fibers than cowhide. Deerskin leather is less likely to stretch, crack, or stiffen with time.  After a few hundred miles the gloves form to your hands. Pictured are my personal gloves with roughly 3,000 miles on them . They have been completely soaked a dozen times without any adverse effect except for some green dye on my hands. ( the dye washes off) They are supple and grippy when wet and dry over night. A characteristic of the deerskin is that it will fade and change color the more you wear them

These gloves are made by an old American company and branded by hand by us. There will be some variation in the branding as each glove is done separately.
