Our story · Maryland roots · Since 2016

Born in Maryland.
Built for the work.

American Fur began when two hunting friends recognized something exceptional in wild whitetail deerskin: a rare balance of softness, flexibility and everyday toughness.

How American Fur began

A material became a mission

The story started with two hunting enthusiasts and friends from Maryland who were drawn to the beauty and agility of the wild whitetail deer.

They soon saw that deerskin’s natural characteristics made it especially well suited to gloves. It is soft without feeling fragile, flexible enough to follow the hand, breathable in warmer conditions and comfortable when the workday stretches on.

That discovery shaped a straightforward philosophy: select premium wild whitetail hides, turn them into natural deerskin leather, and make gloves that combine practical protection with lasting comfort.

What defines American Fur

Five things to know about us

Our choices begin with the material and end with the person doing the work. These are the standards that connect every American Fur glove.

01

Premium hide selection

We begin with carefully selected wild whitetail deerskin—valued for its naturally soft hand, supple feel and distinctive grain.

02

Comfort that moves

Deerskin’s elastic structure conforms to the hand, supporting dexterity for tools, lifting, riding and everyday outdoor work.

03

Ready across seasons

A breathable texture helps manage warmth, while insulated options add cold-weather protection when the temperature drops.

04

Durability with purpose

Dense, interlocking leather fibers bring dependable wear without giving up the flexibility that makes a glove comfortable to use.

05

Retail and wholesale service

From a single dependable pair to coordinated business orders, our team helps customers find the right glove for the work ahead.

From hide to hardworking glove

Made with purpose at every step

The process protects what makes deerskin special while shaping it for the fit, movement and durability a working glove demands.

02

Chosen hides are cleaned and processed into natural deerskin leather using modern treatment methods.

03

Why deerskin

Soft by nature.
Strong by structure.

Deerskin earns its reputation by resolving a tension that working hands know well: the need for protection without stiffness.

  • Supple feel that becomes even more comfortable as the leather conforms to the hand.
  • Natural elasticity that supports finger movement, grip and dexterity.
  • Breathable performance that helps hands remain comfortable through changing conditions.
  • Interlocking fibers that help the leather stand up to repeated practical use.
