Eska the Glovemakers – in the forth generation.

This firm – well-known to glove connoisseurs – started off life as ‘Eska & Dutka’ in Carlsbad in 1912. They then moved to Wels, in Austria, and changed the name to Eska. Unusually, they are famous in two fields: firstly, for high-quality, durable leather articles for professional use; secondly, for fine gloves for every day – but far better than ‘everyday’ quality! Every single glove is finished by hand, with the leather precision-cut and stitched to guarantee perfect shape and fit.
