Goat glove update part 2
I
made the mistake of using my goat gloves
during our recent round of chicken
feather plucking.
This material isn't bouncing
back like leather.
I suspect the chicken dunking
is what caused them to dry up in such a stiff manner.

oil
Those gloves need some loving care. Oil those babies up. If you had a rough day like that, you'd need a massage too.

gloves
Try cleaning them with saddle soap. That will soften them and make them more pliable but they may be stretched already from the water. One can only hope. No saddle soap/ Try a bit(little bit) of glycerine. Don't use ANY vegetable oils.

You both have such good points! I don't know why we never figured out oiling/soaping leather gloves. It makes perfect sense!
