Elegant men's dress gloves made wholly from cowhide leather, featuring fourchettes that extend from fingertip to fingertip between each of the four fingers for a seamless fit.

They are designed for formal wear, not sports or protection.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify leather origin certification to confirm cowhide (not calfskin) and test for composition leather percentage under 50% non-leather

Provide detailed photos or diagrams showing fourchettes extending fingertip-to-fingertip between all four fingers to avoid reclassification

Avoid common pitfall of incomplete sidewalls; measure and document extension fully across finger gaps
