Gloves Size Guide

If you are between glove sizes, round down to the nearest half or whole number. The leather will stretch slightly with use. This is especially true for hairsheep leather gloves. As a general rule, the thicker the leather, the less stretch there is. Other materials, such as knitted gloves or ones with elastane, also stretch.

If you don't have a tape measure, use a piece of string or ribbon to wrap around your hand. Lay the string flat on a ruler and measure the length to find your glove size.

Your dominant hand is the right hand if you are right-handed and the left hand if you are left-handed. Your dominant hand is usually slightly larger than the other, so it's best to ensure the gloves fit your larger hand.

Your hand should be flat and open. Do not bend it or clench into a fist.

The widest part of your hand is usually just below your knuckles. Remember to exclude the thumb from your measurement.

The tape measure should be snug against your skin – as the gloves will be. Don't pull too tight or let it get too loose.

Our gloves are crafted to standard finger lengths for men and women. If you think that your fingers might be on the shorter side, we offer a collection of shorter finger length gloves. These are some of our most popular styles but with the finger length slightly reduced.

The gloves should feel snug at first but will stretch with wear. We offer three types of fit so you can choose the one that best suits you – slim, regular and casual.

• Slim fit - this is our closest fit, offers a sleek and flattering silhouette and suits modern dressing
• Regular fit - this is tailored but not tight, fits most hand shapes and suits both smart and casual dressing
• Casual fit - this is our roomiest and most generously cut glove, it offers maximum comfort and works well with casual clothing

This is a question we often hear. For advice on this, please head to our article how to buy gloves as a gift.
