Some bits of gear you wear out, but others you wear in. These Dickson gloves from Crud Sweden belong firmly in the second category. Made from full-grain cowhide by skilled craftspeople in the USA, Crud have beefed up the Dicksons with a Kevlar lining to make them the toughest pair of gloves in the business. The leather is worked with a traditional Nordic blend of oils and waxes to give it a degree of water-resistance and a unique finish – but how it ages is up to you. It's like it says round the brass eyelets at the wrist, 'let the gear tell your story'. The more hard use these gloves get, and the more scars and marks they rack up, the better they're going to look. This is small-batch gear at its very best. Built to last, and tough enough for the most demanding work or play
Sustainability through Longevity - Everything Crud creates represents a commitment to simplicity, functionality, high quality, and craftsmanship. Their gear will take a real beating and with time develop a patina and character specific to each individual product and its owner.
Based out of Jonsered, near Gothenburg, Crud’s motto is ‘let the gear tell your story’. They’re all about creating enduring products that’ll take on their own inimitable patina the more you use them. If you’re the type who loves the look of faded selvedge denim, ancient waxed jackets or beaten-up old Land Rovers, then these guys are your tribe.
Crud are best known for their rugged leather gloves, constructed in premium cow hide or elk skin. Each pair is stitched together in either the US or Ethiopia, then hand-finished in Sweden – going through an eight-stage process that utilises a traditional mix of pine-scented waxes, oils and fats. The resulting gloves are water-resistant and incredibly tough, designed to rack up the scars, scrapes and burns of countless adventures in the great outdoors. There are winter versions available, and even a pair that’s lined with Kevlar for the ultimate in abrasion and heat resistance.
Crud aren’t interested in mass-production and economies of scale. This is heirloom-quality stuff to last a lifetime – built to take a battering and come out the other side looking even better.
