Hand stitched and branded with the Smithey logo over the same high-grade leather as our sleeves, this potholder is the most high quality and reliable holding tool we’ve ever used. Like cast iron, it gets better with time.

It’s ok.
Granted, I’ve had it less than a month but I find it too stiff to comfortably use. Perhaps it needs to be broken in some with more usage to become more flexible. Out of the box, it’s awkward to use. I do find I prefer the leather potholder over the suede version, for both stain reduction and feel. I would still reach for a towel over this for handling a hot skillet.
