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
    16.5
    7 7 17.8
    19
    8 8 20.3
    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"
    5'1" to 5'6" 7
    5'7" to 5'8"
    5'9" to 5'11" 8
    Above 6'

    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.

    Add Monogram?

    Monogram

     

    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.

    Glove Length: 2 inches

    Material: Pure Silk

    For centuries, silk has remained an important material for glovemaking. It’s beautiful feel and appearance has afforded it a high reputation since the days of kings and queens. Our soft, pure silk jersey knit carries on the tradition and continues to be worn by royalty today.

    Care Guide

    Silk doesn't shout — it whispers. There’s a calm, understated confidence in silk gloves: cool to the touch, subtly luminous, endlessly refined. But refinement doesn’t mean fragility. What silk needs is softness — in water, in movement, and in time.

    Handled properly, silk rewards you with longevity and elegance in equal measure.

    Let It Rest

    When it comes to silk, less is more. Wash cold, gently, and never in a rush. A delicates bag adds an extra layer of care. Afterward, leave the gloves flat to dry and reshape them quietly with your hands. Steam can help — but only at a distance.

    Care Method

    Turn gloves inside out and wash in a mesh bag on a cold, delicate cycle. Lay flat to dry. Avoid wringing or ironing directly. Never tumble dry.

    If Softness or Sheen Is Lost

    For creased, dulled or faded silk, we recommend a textile professional experienced in delicate natural fibres. They’ll restore the glove’s finish without weakening its weave.

    Handmade in Sussex, England

    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.
