Elbow Fit Guide

For our 12 inch gloves, we take a measurement for your elbow fit to ensure your gloves have the correct and flattering fit on your arm. This measurement is the circumference of your arm, where the glove ends.

Please take care with this measurement and give it to us accurately. We really want your gloves to look perfect, and not be too loose or too tight. With your help we can get them just right!

How do I measure my elbow fit?

Measure from where the thumb creasve meets the wrist.

Keeping your arm relaxed, measure up the arm until you reach 12 inches. This is where the glove ends.

Measure the circunference of your arm at this point.

he exact result in inches is your Elbow Fit for an Opera Glove. Please round to the nearest 0.25 inches.

To convert centimetres to inches, divide by 2.54 - e.g. 23cm = 9 inches

My measurement is below 8.5 or above 15 inches, what should I do?

We will still be able to work to your specification, but please contact us before ordering.

Index Finger Fit

This optional measurement allows us to account for your finger length, if you suspect they are unusually long or short in relation to your hand width. Please provide the length of your Index finger in inches, starting from where it meets your middle finger. This measurement is usually between 2.25 and 3.5 inches.
Do I need to provide this?
No, this is a totally optional measurement. Please only worry about it if you suspect you have unusually long or short fingers in relation to your hand. Our standard fit is excellent for 90% of people.

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

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

Slightly shorter than the classic 'opera' glove, Henrietta is the glove of choice when you don't want the traditional 'opera' style. Cut to finish just above the elbow, Henrietta is perfect for dresses which have a touch of sleeve.

Dimensions
