Bridal Gloves

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. 

This measurement is the circumference of your arm, where the glove ends. Opera length gloves end 16 inches up from where your thumb meets your wrist.

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?

To take your upper arm fit measurement, pass a tape measure around your upper arm, 16 inches up from where your thumb meets your wrist. This is normally about halfway up your bicep. Have your arm outstretched but comfortable. The result, in inches, is your arm fit. 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.

Whether it’s for a special occasion or a unique gift; our monogramming service is the perfect, thoughtful addition to your gloves - add up to four letters to personalise your gloves with elegant, gold embroidery.

• Please always type your monogram in the exact order you would like your letters
• The font we use is GOUDY BOLD
• The colour of the thread is gold
• The charge for monogramming is £25
• We are normally unable to accept returns of monogrammed gloves
• Monogramming can be done in Latin characters only

Positioning

On short gloves (up to 8 inches), we position the monogram on the underside of the left wrist - just the left hand glove - as in the picture above. 

On gloves which are 12 inches and longer, we position the monogram on the inside of the upper arm - again, on the left glove - as in the picture below.

If you'd prefer something different, we can normally accommodate your request - just let us know.

The ring window is a specially designed - and finely crafted - feature which allows you to put on, take off or simply show off your ring without having to remove your glove from the hand.

It’s ideal for Brides as it allows for the ring finger to be removed from the glove for the ring ceremony and then replaced, leaving the ring on display. It’s simple, straightforward and - importantly -  stress free.

It’s Complimentary, Always

If you unsure which colour or fabric will best work with your outfit, we recommend ordering fabric swatches. Our swatches are 4 inches x 6 inches. The amount you pay (including shipping) is reimbursed to you straightaway as store credit, which can be used against any future orders you place with us. If you prefer a colour which we don't have as standard, we do offer a bespoke dyeing service - please contact us.

The hub of our glovemaking operation is a small, flint walled building that was built some 150 years ago to house dairy cows. All around us are pastures. A mile to the south, the green hills of the South Downs separate us from the salt seas of the English Channel.

It takes a lot to make a good pair of gloves. Great fabrics, selected with great care from mills large and small, skill and people with a passion for making things just right.

Almost everything we make is made to order. So that the person who is making your gloves knows exactly what you want in terms of glove size, style and dimensions.  They will also know your name and you will know theirs because, when they’ve finished your gloves and they’re completely happy with them, they will sign the tag to say so.
