Mitten Retailers
Retailers and boutiques selling mittens
Mittens hold the fingers together in one compartment, which makes them the warmest hand covering, and mitten retailers sell to women, men and children alike, since, as the listings here put it, you do not have to be a child to wear mittens. The retailers listed are sheepskin and general cold-weather specialists. Sundance Leather sells handmade sheepskin slippers, mittens and footwear for infants and children, made in Colorado, USA. VillageShop.com of Pennsylvania sells mittens across its shearling and sheepskin range, coats, slippers, seat covers, hats, vests and shearling gloves, with a full line of leather bags. The mitten's product family is covered in the fashion influence section linked from the listings, and mitten buyers are reminded that winter heat is also lost from the head, with hats the companion purchase. Mittens divide into dress and casual knits, fleece outdoor mittens, insulated ski mittens, sheepskin mittens, and convertible mittens with a fold-back flap that frees the fingers for tasks.

You do not have to be a child to wear mittens. If you search carefully, you may find men's mittens, women's mittens as well as children's mittens.
If you are trying to keep your hands warm with mittens, you may also think about the fact that in the winter you lose much of your body heat from your head and you should investigate hats.
Choosing Mittens by Activity
Ski and snowboard mittens are insulated, waterproofed and gauntleted over the jacket cuff. Dress mittens in leather or sheepskin suit town winter and driving, where some grip is needed and bulk is not. Knit mittens are the everyday and gift staple, often sold in hat-and-mitten sets. Running and outdoor mittens borrow glove technology, windproof shells and convertible flaps. The activity sets the insulation: too much warmth is its own problem on active days, since a sweating hand ends colder than a cool one.
Sizing follows gloves, by hand circumference, with children's mittens sized by age. A mitten should leave a small air space at the fingertips, the insulation needs loft to work, and a liner glove inside a shell mitten is the mountaineer's system that retail copies for extreme cold. The earmuff and hat pages of this directory complete the cold-weather set these retailers sell.
Common Questions
Why are mittens warmer than gloves?
Because the fingers share one compartment. In a glove each finger is wrapped separately and loses heat on all sides; in a mitten the fingers rest against each other and warm the same pocket of air, so the whole hand stays warmer with the same insulation. The trade is dexterity: mittens cannot handle small fastenings, phones or tools well. That is why Manzella-style outdoor ranges and the retailers here sell both, gloves for dexterity days, mittens for the coldest ones, and why convertible flap mittens exist as the compromise.
What are sheepskin mittens?
Mittens made from sheepskin with the wool fleece left attached, worn wool-side in, so the hand sits inside natural wool insulation with a leather outer. Sundance Leather's mittens are handmade in Colorado in this construction, and VillageShop's shearling mittens are the same idea. Sheepskin breathes, resists odor and molds to the hand, and it is the classic material for infant and children's mittens, including the string-through-the-sleeves pairs that keep them from being lost.
Are mittens only for children?
No, and the listings say so directly: you do not have to be a child to wear mittens, and men's and women's mittens are standard retail lines. Adult mittens dominate in ski and winter sport, in sheepskin and leather for dress and driving warmth without finger seams, and in knit fashion styles matched to hats and scarves. Children's mittens are cut smaller and often sold with clips and strings; adult mittens are sized like gloves. The retail categories are separated by size and style, not by the garment.
