We offer the traditional mousquetaire opening as an optional addition to all of our longer occasion gloves. The mousquetaire is a buttoned opening on the inside of the wrist of the glove. Its purpose is to allow the wearer to remove the hand from the glove whilst keeping the sleeve of the glove on the arm. The empty ‘hand’ of the glove is then neatly tucked up inside the sleeve. At a formal banquet or dinner, it is traditionally incorrect to wield knife and fork in a gloved hand and the mousquetaire opening offers a way around this social hurdle. It is also most helpful when a ring finger needs to be made available at a wedding.

We offer the mousquetaire with a choice of either covered buttons (in the same fabric and colour as the gloves) or Swarovski crystal buttons.

Ring Window

The ring window is a specially designed - and finely crafted - feature which allows you to put on, take off or simply show off your ring without having to remove your glove from the hand.

It’s ideal for Brides as it allows for the ring finger to be removed from the glove for the ring ceremony and then replaced, leaving the ring on display. It’s simple, straightforward and - importantly -  stress free.

Our glovemaking

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.

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

7 7 17.8

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

If you unsure which colour or fabric will best work with your outfit, we recommend ordering fabric swatches. Our swatches are 4 inches x 6 inches. The amount you pay (including shipping) is reimbursed to you straightaway as store credit, which can be used against any future orders you place with us. If you prefer a colour which we don't have as standard, we do offer a bespoke dyeing service - please contact us.
