1/3
A short pure merino wool glove with a cuff that you can turn up or down. Your choice. The cuff is trimmed in animal print velvet, which adds a hint of edginess but which will not frighten the horses.
Bracelet Length. This is a 4 inch glove. This is measured from where the thumb seam meets the wrist, to the opening of the glove.
Our pure wool gloves are cut from a super fine jersey Merino wool. We make them in exactly the same way that we make all our gloves - 2 metres of painstaking stitching that joins tranks, fourchettes and thumbs. The end product is a pair of gloves that is beautifully styled, built to last and warm. The perfect Autumn/Winter glove.
Merino is the quiet overachiever of natural fibres — warm when it’s cold, cool when it’s warm, and elegant all year round. What makes it special is not just how it performs, but how little it needs in return.
Merino likes simplicity. Wash it gently, dry it slowly, and give it room to remember its shape.
Let It Breathe
Wash by hand, always in lukewarm water, and keep movement minimal. Press in a towel and lay flat to dry. While damp, ease the gloves back into their form. The fibre knows what to do — it just needs your help getting there.
Care Method
Hand wash with pure soap flakes. Rinse, press gently, and dry flat. Avoid friction, hanging, or heat.
To Restore Balance and Elasticity
If your gloves feel tight, flat or lose stretch, a wool care expert can revive their natural resilience without disturbing the knit.

Beautiful, elegant, quality gloves
I absolutely love my Matilda gloves. They fit perfectly and look beautiful. The touchscreen stitching is a great touch, so no need to take them off to use my phone. The gloves arrived in a beautiful box and with a bag to protect them when they are not being worn. This is a high quality product and the attention to detail from Cornelia James is exceptional. The gloves arrived very quickly a day or two after ordering. I can see why they are considered the best glove maker in the world!

The perfect fit in every way!
My first (and hopefully of many) purchases. I love, love, love these gloves! I received the most thoughtful welcome email after I made my purchase and then a beautiful handwritten note with the gloves. I NEVER post reviews but this company is too special to keep a secret.

Never before have I experienced such excellence from any company. From the superb craftsmanship of the gloves, to the beautiful, ribbon tied boxing, and the personal note inside - this is service that goes above and beyond. Thank you to all the staff at Cornelia James, for recognizing how important each and every order is, and for surpassing all expectations in quality and service.
