She charged me $75 to sew, plus $10 for the leather palm and interior felt. I'm telling you, these are high end mitts!

210 is San Antonio and incase nobody has told you guys the whole world is movin' to Texas. She might be the kind we like but for every one of her there are two from back east and 4 or 5 from California. We need a fence on all 4 sides I swear

$85 per hat/mitt. Includes sewing and other material. Some of the best I've seen at a great price.

210 may be the area code for the San Antonio area of Texas. All that means is that is where she got her phone number originally. With today’s fancy high tech stuff, you can take your phone number with you when you move. Including your area code. She could be in Alaska or Hawaii or Maine. Phone number doesn’t change.

Just saying........

I think Martentrapper is saying those might be too warm for your climate.

area code means nothing any more

people move and they just keep their cell phone and number

Very nice looking mittens. Very good price too. I'm assuming they will hang on a wall somewhere in your house as a decoration. Pretty sure you can get good mittens locally for actually using in the times it is cold enough to use mittens.
That style of mitten used to be common here in Alaska when dog teams were the norm and before snogo came with hot grips. They were tied to a chord and then crossed behind your back when you needed to use your hands.
Snogo are the norm and large mittens are not seen on trappers hands so much anymore.

Idiot strings ! Mine are still like that. They are great for the trapline or hunting in cold weather. Just shake off the mitten and shoot quickly or cross them behind your back to tend a trap. You can't lose them that way
