Founded in 1899 by Peter Hansen, Hansen Gloves became known for high-quality leather gloves—especially soft, durable deerskin. The brand began with rugged work gloves and later introduced specialty styles like early driving gloves. Renowned for craftsmanship and materials, Hansen discontinued men’s gloves in 1960 and ceased operations in the early 1970s. Vintage examples are valued today for their durability, fit, and classic mid-century style.

HOW TO CARE FOR VINTAGE GLOVES

How to Care for Vintage Gloves

Proper care keeps vintage gloves beautiful and wearable for years to come. For leather gloves, store them flat in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and heat, which can dry or crack the material. Avoid folding the fingers. To clean, gently wipe the surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth and a drop of mild soap—never soak. Allow the gloves to air-dry naturally, then apply a small amount of neutral leather conditioner to restore suppleness. Suede gloves should be brushed with a suede brush and kept away from moisture.

For cotton, nylon, or fabric gloves, hand wash gently in lukewarm water with mild detergent. Avoid wringing or twisting, as this can stretch delicate seams. Press out excess water with a towel, then lay flat to dry. If ironing is needed, use a low heat setting and place a thin cloth between the glove and the iron. Always store fabric gloves clean and away from direct light to prevent discoloration.
