Freuchen Leather Mittens from Astis are a pair of long mittens with a beautiful pearl design on the glove. They are hand-stitched in the USA from lightly used high-quality suede with hand-stitched pearl knit on the glove and are lined with Polartec High loft insulation. Working directly with an engraver in the US, Astis developed a suede, injected with silicone during the tanning process for additional waterproofing, that is extremely durable yet retains great dexterity. The length and cut of the design means that a jacket can slide all the way in without bunching up while providing a tight fit that protects the wrists and hands from snow on the heaviest powder days. Since each leather mitten is hand-stitched and uses natural materials, each leather mitten will have a slight variation in the appearance of leather, pearl and fur. Astis embraces these subtle differences and sees them as unique mittens that are more like works of art.
