Among the items at Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building , peccary leather gloves are consistently popular. Peccaries are mammals similar to wild boars that inhabit the tropical rainforests of South America. The grain side of the leather has distinctive pores with three rows of bristles, and despite its thickness, it has a flexible fiber structure. It is relatively resistant to water stains and does not harden easily, and when new it has a beautiful luster, and as it is used for a long time it develops a different character and softness, so you can enjoy its aging process. Not only are they suitable for business occasions, but the gloves with external stitching have a slightly casual impression, so they are also recommended for off-duty time.

This time, we'll introduce a popular type of unlined sheepskin glove for businessmen, available at Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building .
Made from sheepskin, these gloves are soft and, lacking a lining, fit snugly to the hand. The fact that they fit easily into a coat pocket without being cumbersome is another reason for their popularity. With internal stitching and three seams on the back of the hand, they give a smart and sophisticated impression when worn. They pair well with business attire such as long coats and jackets.


Stylish short length Mario Portolano



Mario Portolano was founded in 1895 in Naples, Italy, a city famous for its leather gloves. Its history began as a glove factory, and later expanded beyond glove manufacturing to include leather tanning and dyeing, enabling it to handle everything from raw hides to finished product packaging, a process it continues to this day.

From this brand comes a distinctive short-length glove. The short length is designed so that it doesn't interfere with wearing a watch, as the wrist area is shorter than regular gloves. Many men wear bulky watches, so the cutting is carefully calculated to provide a good balance for both. It also pairs perfectly with leather wear, creating a sophisticated look that includes both the watch and gloves.


Masculine and elegant MADOVA



MADOVA is a glove specialist brand founded in Florence, Italy in 1919 by Amedeo Donini. Amedeo Donini learned glove manufacturing techniques in France and began making gloves, developing many gloves with a masculine yet elegant impression.
