This glove is designed for calf roping, but there's no reason why something this nice shouldn't be worn every day of the week, for any occasion you see fit. Our Elkskin Ropers are built for the rigors of ranch work, but offer an exceptionally supple feel, and a long-lasting fit and finish. Heavy elkskin is significantly more abrasion-resistant and softer than cowhide, and can be washed in warm water without any repercussions. Made in the USA with fully welted thumbs and welt-tipped fingers, the closed out-seams enhance durability and reduce chafing. Finished with a solid brass Best Made snap, our Ropers will be your hand's compadres for years to come.
