How A Glove Should Fit & Men's Dress Gloves Sizing

About this video

The Gazette team provides a comprehensive guide to purchasing properly fitting gloves, explaining how tight gloves should initially feel, the importance of finger length, and the proper measurement technique. They discuss glove sizing standards, their own six-size range, and the significance of leather softness in determining overall quality and comfort.

Key takeaways

• Gloves should fit tightly when first purchased, as leather stretches over time, and excess material indicates an oversized glove
• Proper glove sizing requires measuring around the widest part of the hand without the thumb, and when between sizes, always size down
• The softness and flexibility of leather—such as Lamb Nappa or peccary—significantly impacts comfort and fit quality, with stiffer leathers feeling restrictive and uncomfortable
