Upper Arm Fit Guide

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 creasve 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.

Cabretta Hair Sheep Leather

The history of Cabretta Leather can be traced back thousands of years to ancient civilisations, where hair sheep were prized for their soft, durable hides. Today ours comes from the Ethiopian highlands, where the Cabretta Sheep roams free and grazes. The result is a remarkably supple and soft - yet still durable - leather, renowned the world over.

Glove Size

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
7½	7½	19
8	8	20.3
8½	8½	21.6

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

Opera length glove in Ethiopian Lambskin. No ifs, no buts, just drop dead gorgeous long leather gloves. You don't have to be a Diva to wear these and, when you have a pair, you will wonder how you managed without.

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

Almost all our leather gloves are ‘cabretta’. This is leather coming from the so-called hair sheep which is raised in the highlands of Ethiopia. This sheep produces hair rather than wool so that its skin is particularly smooth and unmarked. It also has the natural elasticity which is essential for great gloves.
