Founded in 1893 in Gloversville, USA, once the world capital of glove-making, Elmer is one of the oldest and most respected brands in the premium glove industry. Rooted in a unique American artisanal tradition, the brand has upheld over a century of quality, durability, and precision. Now based in Japan, Elmer blends heritage and innovation to create technical, contemporary gloves designed to last.

A Century of Craftsmanship for Comfort and Performance

The brand's story begins with Elmer Little, a passionate glove artisan who honed his craft in Gloversville workshops at the end of the 19th century. Early suede and deerskin models stood out for their durability, comfort, and meticulous finish. This founding expertise remains central to the brand, whose current collections feature gloves in leather, wool, and technical fabrics, suitable for everyday use as well as more demanding environments.

Japanese Tradition Meets Innovation

Since relocating to Japan, Elmer has maintained its artisanal DNA while incorporating modern performance standards. Today, the gloves are designed to meet the needs of a contemporary clientele, offering protection, functionality, and style. Some models now feature touchscreen-compatible fingertips, combining thermal comfort with practicality. This balance of understated elegance and functional innovation positions Elmer as a premium reference in its category.
