If you have a gallon or quart ZIPloc bag, consider zipping the wet gloves into the bag a day or two before going to the store. Concentrate their essence!

If the manager questions how it could be too stinky for gardening, open it up right near his face.

I wonder if the leather was simply insufficiently cured? I've read that green hides have an awful stench.


Great idea about letting the gloves kind of ferment a little before taking them back! Big Grin

Back in my former life (aka my 1st marriage) we actually tried tanning the hides from a couple of deer... "awful stench" really does not do it justice... Blinking
