1. If I'm in between sizes, what should I do?
Finding the right size all-season glove can be tricky. If you're in between sizes, we recommend sizing up! A larger size will give you a little more room to work with, and will help ensure a comfortable fit for your leather gloves.
2. On first wear, my Give'r gloves are snug - is this normal?
Yes! These leather gloves are designed to be snug at first, as they'll begin breaking in on the first use. The insulation will pack out and begin to fully fill the leather outer shell. The leather glove itself will begin to break in and form to your individual hands. The more they're used, the better they'll fit as they become an extension of your hand and fingers.
3. How often should I re-wax my 4-Season Gloves?
Re-waxing needs vary greatly from person to person. Some people never re-wax their 4-Season gloves at all and are completely fine, while others re-wax every season to add extra weatherproofing before being outside a lot. The more you use 'em, the more you should re-wax - especially if you're doing abrasive tasks like handling barbed wire. Doing it yourself? Any all-natural beeswax (Sno Seal works great) will do just fine! Need instructions? Email sales@give-r.com.

Sure can! Check out The Oven Method video in the “Videos” tab above! For any other questions, you may have, view our general FAQ page or email sales@give-r.com!
5. How do I re-wax my 4-Season Gloves?
The process of re-waxing your 4-Season gloves is very simple. First, make sure the insulated leather work gloves are clean and free of any dirt or debris. Then, heat up the wax. You can do this by microwaving the wax for a few seconds, or by melting it over a stovetop. Be careful not to overheat the wax, or it could damage the all-season gloves.
Once the wax is melted, apply it liberally to the leather gloves. You may want to use a brush to help distribute the wax evenly. Let the gloves sit for a few minutes so the wax can soak in. Then, buff them with a cloth to remove any excess wax.
That's it! Your leather gloves should now be nice and shiny, and they will be protected from the elements.
6. How are Give'r gloves insulated?
Our insulated leather work gloves are insulated with a soft Thinsulate insulation system. Thinsulate is a synthetic insulation that's made up of microfibers that are finer than a strand of hair. These microfibers trap air, which creates an insulating layer of warmth. Additionally, because Thinsulate is synthetic, it doesn't absorb water, which makes it ideal for use in these all-season gloves and other winter gear. These leather gloves with Thinsulate insulation are the perfect choice for anyone looking for a warm and comfortable glove. They're perfect for cold weather activities, like skiing or snowboarding, or for just keeping your hands warm on a cold day.
7. How can I make these leather gloves last as long as possible?
The key to making our leather gloves last as long as possible is patience and proper storage. Always take your time putting them on and taking them off, and make sure you haven't pulled any of the seams out of place. If you're not going to be using your all-season gloves for a while, make sure you store them in a cool, dry place.
8. Why would I add initials to my leather gloves?
Adding your initials to your insulated leather work gloves can be a smart move for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, it can help you easily identify your 4-Season Give'r gloves if they become separated from you. Once you have a set of all-season gloves that are just your style, you don't want to risk losing them. Adding your initials can be a way to ensure that they don't get mixed up with anyone else's.
Additionally, adding your initials can add a touch of personalization to an otherwise plain piece of apparel. If you're someone who likes to make a personal statement with your clothing, this is a great way to do it. Not only will it make your leather gloves stand out, but it will also show that you put some thought into choosing them.
9. How can I use my Give'r 4-season leather gloves?
Most people only think about using these insulated leather work gloves for cold weather, but that's not all they're good for. These gloves are perfect for practically any activity any time of year. Of course, you can use them for winter activities like snowboarding. But you can also use them in the spring for an early morning hike, riding horses in the summer, or building a campfire in the fall. Plus, the leather construction means that they're tough and durable, so you can count on them to last for a long time.
