is that because the black dye bleeds onto your hands, or some other reason?Only problem is that they only come in black. That's why I rarely wear em.

I have a pair of these. Very nice and very comfy. Probably the best fit I have had. Only problem is that they only come in black. That's why I rarely wear em.

Dean, just wash them a few times until they don't bleed. That's a beauty of deer and elk skin, getting them wet doesn't affect them like other leathers. I do like the natural color of the 'Stich Ropers over any glove dyed black.yep, that's the reason.
Will do John.Dean, just wash them a few times until they don't bleed. That's a beauty of deer and elk skin, getting them wet doesn't affect them like other leathers. I do like the natural color of the 'Stich Ropers over any glove dyed black.

My first two pair didn't bleed at all. Never washed them. There's a certain cachet to well worn Ropers. This last pair did bleed a bit, yellow. So those I washed x 2. I did use a little Lexol on them after they dried out. I'm considering treating them with that water repelling stuff from Home Depot. Can't think of the product name at the moment. Edit: "Neverwet" http://www.neverwet.com IINMWill do John.
Do you wash your Ropers or just keep em looking well used?
Are they the perforated leather ones? I bought a pair, had one good year and they were starting to fall apart on number two, probably would have offered very little protection if I needed them.I did pick up a pair of Sedichi from Cycle gear today by the jury is still out.
Not sure. I took them back today. The right was okay but the left didn't fit quite right. They were too warm as well behind the hand guards even though they were a vented glove. Search goes on.Are they the perforated leather ones?

This year I am trying the Alpine Stars SMX-2 Air carbon. Liking them so far, but had a heck of a time to find a 3X.
Sure thing M-D: http://www.shocktek.com/How about a link to their website? Sound like a good glove
