Leather gloves are an investment – and like all good investments, they need a little love and care to keep paying off. If you’ve just scored yourself a pair of Hand Job Gloves, congratulations! Your hands are about to experience top-tier comfort. But to keep your gloves looking and feeling their best, you’ve got to take care of them, especially if you want that beautiful patina to develop over time.
Don’t worry – maintaining your gloves isn’t rocket science. With our Hand Job Beeswax and a few simple steps, you’ll be waxing like a pro in no time. Let’s get to it!
Step-by-Step Guide to Waxing Your Gloves
1. Break Them In – Naturally
When you first get your gloves, they might feel a little snug. Don’t panic! That’s just because they haven’t yet molded to your hands. The more you wear them, the better they’ll feel. Trust us, they’ll break in naturally over time, becoming the perfect fit for your hands.
But breaking in your gloves is only part of the game. You’ve also got to keep that leather soft and protected – and that’s where our beeswax comes in.
2. Gather Your Materials
Before diving into the waxing process, make sure you have everything you need:
– Hand Job Beeswax – The perfect wax for keeping your leather soft, moisturized, and protected. Get it [here](https://handjobgloves.com/product/beeswax/).
– A soft cloth or sponge
3. Wax On, Wax Off (Option 1)
You’ve got two ways to wax, depending on how *hands-on* you want to be!
– Traditional Method: Take a clean, soft cloth and apply a small amount of beeswax to the leather. Rub it in using circular motions until the wax is fully absorbed into the gloves. This method is great for a more controlled application and helps you evenly distribute the wax.
4. Rub It Out (Option 2)
Feeling bold? Want to multitask? Put the gloves on your hands and add a small amount of beeswax to one palm. Then, rub your hands together as if you’re washing them. This method not only lets you feel the gloves forming to your hands but also ensures every curve and contour gets covered in the nourishing balm.
It’s fun, fast, and gets the job done. Bonus: it’s the best excuse to give yourself a quick hand massage while you’re at it!
5. Let It Absorb Overnight
Once you’ve waxed your gloves, leave them to absorb the wax overnight. This gives the leather time to soak in all the moisture and protection, leaving them softer, more flexible, and ready for action. Dry them at room temperature – and be sure to avoid high heat like open flames, radiators, or ovens. (Seriously, we know you want to wear them ASAP, but patience is key!)
6. Buff for That Shine
After the wax has absorbed, use a clean cloth to gently buff your gloves. This removes any excess wax and gives them a smooth, polished finish. Over time, with regular waxing and use, your gloves will develop a gorgeous patina that’s unique to your hands and lifestyle.
Pro Tips for Long-Lasting Gloves
– Wax regularly: To keep your leather gloves looking their best, wax them every few months or whenever they start to feel dry.
– Store properly: Keep your gloves in a cool, dry place when not in use.
– Break them in naturally: Don’t rush the process. With time, your gloves will fit like a second skin, and waxing will only make them better.
– Dampen for deeper conditioning: If your gloves are particularly dry, lightly dampening the leather before applying beeswax can help it absorb better.
