Sullivan cuts and sews these by hand in Bend, Oregon, to order, which is why they take two weeks to reach you. The leather is American deerskin, two and a half to three ounces, drum dyed in this country. These gloves have no lining, but Sullivan makes a lined version for those of you in colder climes. Deerskin stretches and takes the shape of the hand that wears it, so you should order a size down. Every hide carries its own scars and none are hidden.
