Founded in 1936 by Martin Magnusson in the small Swedish town of Hestra, the brand began by crafting durable leather and wool gloves for local lumberjacks. As skiing gained popularity in the region, Hestra pivoted to create high-performance ski gloves, establishing a legacy that continues under the third and fourth generations of the Magnusson family. The brand is celebrated for its uncompromising approach to craftsmanship, operating its own factories and employing master glove cutters to ensure meticulous quality control over its materials, which include supple cowhide, goat leather, and premium wool.
