Glove lengths

Our gloves come in a variety of lengths. To ensure you get the correct length for both your occasion and your look, it is worth checking when choosing your glove. Our gloves are measured in the traditional unit of measurement of button length (BL), which is equal to 1". It starts where the thumb seam meets the wrist, and runs up the arm. Our glove lengths are as follows:

Bracelet length gloves
