Quick answer: A pair of gloves is a good gift when it fits. If you know the size, choose a standard size — men's 7.5–10, women's 6.5–8.5 — which can be returned within 30 days if unused. If you are unsure, write to us before ordering. For the leather: peccary for someone who already owns good gloves, deerskin for everyday wear, lambskin or nappa for dress, shearling for the coldest days.
Which leather makes the best gift?
- Peccary — the softest and rarest leather we use, a good choice for someone who already owns good gloves.
- Deerskin — soft from the first wear and the hardest-wearing; the practical, everyday pair.
- Lambskin and nappa — slim dress gloves for a coat and suit, nappa in 35 colours.
- Shearling — leather outside, wool inside, the warmest glove we make.
Our leather guide compares them in detail.
What if you do not know the size?
Men's sizes run from 7.5 to 10 and women's from 6.5 to 8.5. If you can, find out the recipient's hand measurement: around the knuckles, excluding the thumb, with the hand half-bent (how to measure). If you are unsure, or the size falls between two, write to us before ordering and we will advise.
A pair made for one person
We can make gloves to the recipient's measurements, in their colour, leather, lining and stitching — see how bespoke works. Custom pairs are made to one hand and cannot be returned, so this suits a gift where the measurements are known.
