Care Instructions
Loaf gloves can be machine washed. For best results, we suggest placing them in a mesh garment washing bag to prevent inversion of the inner and outer components.
Use a gentle washing cycle and warm water (not hot water). Do not use harsh detergents or bleach, instead we recommend using a detergent specifically designed for technical fabrics, such as SPORT-WASH. Air dry by standing the gloves or mitts on their gauntlets or hanging them by the front tips.
Rooted in Maine
We handcraft our gloves and mitts in Trenton, Maine–a community where we're committed to building something special while creating local jobs. With Acadia National Park in our backyard, it’s also a place that’s taught us a little something about how harsh winter can be.
