Hestra Andrew Chocolate

The Hestra Andrew Chocolate is a refined leather glove for cold everyday use, designed to sit naturally between formal dress gloves and casual winter accessories. The deep chocolate-brown colour brings warmth to wool coats, overshirts and understated technical jackets without looking overly polished. It is a practical choice for commuting, city walks, travel and occasions where you want insulation and dexterity in a clean, timeless shape.

The outer is cut from carefully selected deerskin. Deerskin is naturally supple and insulating, with a pronounced grain that gives every pair a subtly individual surface. It feels comfortable from the start and develops more character as it is worn. The leather is durable, but this is still a premium natural material: variations in grain are normal and part of the glove rather than a defect.

Hestra uses a half-piqué construction. On the back of the hand, the leather edges overlap and are sewn with a narrow seam allowance, while the palm uses an inseam for a cleaner finish. This balance supports flexibility and gives the Andrew its controlled silhouette. Elastic at the wrist helps the glove remain secure, and a vent in the cuff makes it easier to put on and remove.

Inside, the attached lining combines 80% merino wool and 20% polyamide. Merino provides soft warmth and natural temperature regulation, while the polyamide supports durability and shape retention. The result is a breathable lining that suits changing everyday conditions better than heavy alpine insulation. The Andrew is made for chilly autumn and winter use, not for prolonged rain, wet snow or technical mountain activity.

The fit should feel comfortably close because leather gradually adapts to the hand. Choose the size that follows Hestra’s hand-circumference guidance rather than sizing up automatically. A close fit improves control when holding a phone, bicycle handlebar or bag. The chocolate finish is versatile, but occasional colour variation and patina are normal with genuine deerskin.

The clean finger shape also keeps the glove comfortable when moving repeatedly between outdoor cold and heated interiors.

Let damp gloves dry naturally at room temperature and keep them away from direct heat. Use a suitable leather-care product sparingly when the surface begins to feel dry.
