Frequently Asked Questions

What if I’m between glove sizes?

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.

What if I don’t have a tape measure?

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.

Which is my dominant hand?

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 its best to ensure the gloves fit your larger hand.

How should I position my hand?

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

What is the widest part of my hand?

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

How tight should the tape measure be?

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.

Is finger length important?

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.
