WEATHER GLOVES - Shopatron

WE WORK WITH OUR HANDS
In the spring of 1936 our grandfather Martin Magnusson began to manufacture
gloves for Sweden’s lumber industry to protect the lumberjacks whose hands
were often exposed to the harsh Swedish winter conditions. Magnusson found
that cowhide and goatskin leathers provided the best durability, and wool on
the backhand provided the greatest warmth and insulation. Today our technical
abilities in glove design allow us to take Magnusson’s original vision and
expand it to better understand the needs of our customers and continue to
build gloves that will protect their hands, fit comfortably, and facilitate the
work that needs to be done. Hestra is a family-owned and operated business
founded and located in Hestra, Sweden. Our grandfather’s vision is in every
glove we’ve made for the past 75 years, today, and for years to come.
Hestra’s first winter work gloves. Designed and built by Hestra’s founder Martin
Magnusson. Made of cowhide, goatskin, and wool they lasted for many years
and withstood both the hard work and cold severe weather, circa 1936.
