In the last few months I have been given a pair of Troy Lee mtb gloves as a gift and won a pair of 5Bling road mitts.
Both have pittard leather palms.
Are these washable?
Do I need to treat them afterwards like putting chamois leather cream on original chamois leather pads in shorts?

i have a couple of pairs of pearl izumi gloves with pittards palms. The only thing i need to remember to do is put them on when they come out of the machine and just stretch the fingers back to the right length. They will do it when dry, but it makes the start of my ride more comfortable.

I have just washed them with non bio detergent at 30.

Mine wash ok. As Matt said, they just take a little stretching out afterwards.

I have some Rapha leather gloves and they recommend that you wear them then wash your hands using a mild hand soap (whatever that might be).

Mine are still nice and soft after a few washes.
