Swiss wool mittens with leather palm, surplus

Once again the Swiss managed to make something extraordinary out of something ordinary. These are just like your everyday military issue woollen mittens but made of thick wool with leather palms to give a better grip and more durability. A handy feature for any environment.

Made of real wool and real leather - no synthetics here. Wash in 30 degrees, air dry only. Grease up the leather afterwards to revive it.

Size info

All are the same size, about 8,5 - 9,5 (Medium). The leather parts may be quite stiff after decades of storage, a drop of leather oil will sort that out quickly. Remember also that wool is quite forgiving and stretches a bit. However, if you have hands as big as Jaws has, don't even try!

Condition

In used, but good serviceable condition. The mittens you get might not be of the original pair (means their leather parts may be of a slightly different colour), but work just the same.
