How to Wear & Care for Gloves + Glove Color Tips

About this video

The Gentleman’s Gazette team demonstrates proper techniques for putting on and removing men’s gloves to minimize wear and damage, and provides guidance on glove care, storage, color selection, and maintenance. They recommend a foundational collection of four glove colors and offer practical advice for addressing common issues like water damage and worn linings.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team recommends removing gloves gently by unbuttoning, loosening each finger individually, and pulling all fingers simultaneously to reduce strain and extend glove life
• The Gazette team suggests building a basic glove wardrobe with burgundy, gray, tan, and chamois yellow colors, which they argue work with most outfit combinations
• The Gazette team advises storing gloves flat rather than crumpled, keeping light and dark colors separated to prevent dye transfer, and treating wet gloves by making them completely wet and air drying them flat
• The Gazette team notes that clear shoe polish without wax can be used to nourish leather after five to ten years, and that peccary leather linings can be replaced when worn
