Size

Not sure what size of gloves you need? Please watch our video measuring guide and refer to the size chart below. This will help you capture the most accurate measurements. Our gloves are made to measure, so we want to ensure a perfect fit.

We make our gloves in hand sizes from 6 to 8½. To find your glove size, pass a tape measure around the widest part of your hand - usually over your knuckles, excluding the thumb. The result, in inches, is your glove size. If you are between two sizes, round down to the lower. 

    Here is how you convert from centimetres to inches:

    Glove size Inches Centimetres
    6 6 15.2
    6½
    6½
    		 16.5
    7 7 17.8

    How do I guess someone's glove size?

    If you are buying gloves for someone and don't know their glove size (and don't want to ruin the surprise), their height can indicate their most likely glove size. Please note, this is statistically most likely but won't be correct 100% of the time.

    Applies to women only

    Height Most likely glove size
    Under 5'1" 6½
    5'1" to 5'6" 7
    5'7" to 5'8" 7½
    5'9" to 5'11" 8
    Above 6' 8½

    Glove Length: 16 inches

    Opera Length. This is a 16 inch glove. This is measured from where the thumb seam meets the wrist, to the opening of the glove.

    Upper Arm Fit

    For our Opera length gloves, we take a measurement for your upper arm fit to ensure the glove has a correct and flattering fit all the way up your arm. To be clear, the measurement we need is the circumference around your arm at the point where the glove ends - either your bicep or just above the elbow depending on the style of glove.

    Please take care with this measurement and give it to us accurately. We really want your gloves to look perfect, and not be too loose or too tight. With your help we can get them just right!

    How do I measure my Upper Arm?

    Measure from where the thumb crease meets the wrist.


    Keeping your arm relaxed, measure up the arm until you reach 16 inches. This is where the glove ends.


    Measure the circunference of your arm at this point.

    The exact result in inches is your Upper Arm Fit for an Opera Glove. Please round to the nearest 0.25 inches.

    To convert centimetres to inches, divide by 2.54 - e.g. 23cm = 9 inches

    My measurement is below 8.5 or above 15.5 inches, what should I do?

    We will still be able to work to your specification, but please contact us before ordering.

    Index Finger Fit

    This optional measurement allows us to account for your finger length, if you suspect they are unusually long or short in relation to your hand width. Please provide the length of your Index finger in inches, starting from where it meets your middle finger. This measurement is usually between 2.25 and 3.5 inches.
    Do I need to provide this?
    No, this is a totally optional measurement. Please only worry about it if you suspect you have unusually long or short fingers in relation to your hand. Our standard fit is excellent for 90% of people.
    Description
    Slightly shorter than the classic 'opera' glove, Henrietta is the glove of choice when you don't want the traditional 'opera' style. Cut to finish just above the elbow, Henrietta is perfect for dresses which have a touch of sleeve.
