Elbow Fit Guide

For our 12 inch gloves, we take a measurement for your elbow fit to ensure your gloves have the correct and flattering fit on your arm. This measurement is the circumference of your arm, where the glove ends.

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 elbow fit?

Measure from where the thumb crease meets the wrist.

Tape measure held at the crease where the thumb meets the wrist

Keeping your arm relaxed, measure up the arm until you reach 12 inches. This is where the glove ends.

Tape measure running along the forearm up to the 12 inch mark

Measure the circumference of your arm at this point.

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

My measurement is below 8.5 or above 15 inches, what should I do?
