For centuries, RHANDERS has had the honour of crafting gloves for the police, the FBI, and the Royal Danish Guard. With more than 200 years of experience, we have developed a unique expertise, along with distinctive features and functionalities that are seamlessly integrated into our classic glove collection.
Our gloves are created using only natural materials. Leather is not artificially produced, rather a natural byproduct - tied to the cycle of life. We select the leather with great care, tracing both raw materials and production throughout every stage of the process.
Every pair of gloves is created with purpose and character, and the leather is chosen accordingly. Our collection ranges from long, elegant evening gloves in ultra-thin lamb leather, to durable, heavy-duty combat gloves.
Learn to know the different leathers and technologies to find the pair of gloves that perfectly fits into your narrative.
MATERIALS
lamb
Lamb is used for a wide range of gloves and can be found in two variants: Pure Aniline and Semi Aniline. Gloves crafted from lamb leather are butter-soft, yet strong, and can be brought to life in many nuances.
The softness may vary depending on the colour treatment process. Lighter shades, such as yellow, retain a greater natural softness, while darker colours like black require a more intensive treatment.
GOAT
Goat leather is perfect for gloves that require exceptional durability. Naturally resilient, the leather creates gloves that are robust - to the point that they are considered almost indestructible.
While some pairs might feel firm at first, they gradually soften with wear, as they start to give in and show their soft heart.
PECCARY
The impeccable South American peccary is the most sought-after glove-skin. Protected under the Washington Convention, only a limited number of skins leave the country each year. Guidelines by the CITES authorities in Geneva ensure the continued and healthy existence of this species in the future.
Renowned for its unparalleled softness and strength, peccary offers a rare combination of durability and refined feel. Different from other types of leather, it is also considered to be the most luxurious: soft, supple, and with a very characteristic structure.
SLINK
Slink is one of the warmest type of linings for our gloves, making it ideal for the coldest days of the year. Its soft, delicate curls create an uneven surface, where the air in between is warmed by our hand and secured inside by the soft curls.
The fluffier the curls, the warmer the glove - resulting in exceptional warmth combined with a light, luxurious feel. This is the magic of slink.
DOUBLE FACE LAMB
Double face lamb is mostly used as a lining for mittens, creating a glove that feels like the softest and most heart warming embrace. Unlike slink, this type of lamb does not have curls, but is as fluffy as can be.
Due to its volume and insulating properties, it is often used in mittens - where warmth is essential, and where mittens naturally provide the highest level of thermal protection.
TECHNIQUES
TOUCH TECHNOLOGY
The leather has been tanned with a touch of silver, enabling the leather to interact with smart phone screens. This treatment gives the touch screen leather a discreet, slightly greyish tone in surface.
WATER REPELLENT
The leather has been treated with nano-technology during the tanning process, ensuring the protection is embedded within the fibres rather than applied as a surface coating. This allow the leather fibres to remain open, breathable, and natural in appearance while effectively repelling water.
The treatment lasts for the lifetime of the glove - hence, no need for additional care. In fact, applying surface spray may compromise both the appearance and breathability of the leather.
Metallic
After the tanning process, the leather is treated with a light pearlescent coating, adding a refined sheen while preserving the natural colour and structure of the leather. The feel is slightly firmer compared to pure aniline leather.
Beyond its visual appeal, metallic glove leather offers enhanced resistance to external agents and dirt, making it both elegant and practical.
One-size
One-size gloves are designet with strategically placed panels of Lycra, known for its exceptional elasticity. This technology enables the glove to stretch and fit different hand sizes.
Our one-size gloves are perfect for those who are looking for an easy-going style for everyday use, but whose sartorial standards are not up for discussion. The gloves stretch and fit also makes them an ideal choice for gifting.
MONOGRAM
Add a thoughtful and unique touch to your gloves with a personal monogram. We offer engraving, embossing, stamping or laser-cutting of initials, giving each style a unique and meaningful touch.
We can also incorporate your company logo to create exclusive and meaningful gifts. For a truly tailored experience, we offer custom-designed products crafted according to your desires - with the opportunity to participate in the production at our atelier in Randers, Denmark.
