\"HowLay your dominant hand flat, fingers together, palm facing upwards. Wrap the measuring tape around your palm, just below the knuckles, not including the thumb. Glove size should be measured in inches. Round up to the nearest half inch. For Proper Cloth gloves, we highly recommend purchasing a half inch larger size\u00a0(e.g. if your hand measures 8.5″, purchase a glove size 9).<\/p>\n

Hand Measurement\u00a0to Glove\u00a0Size<\/h2>\n

– If your hand measures\u00a07.5″, choose glove\u00a0size 8<\/p>\n

– If your hand measures 8″, choose glove\u00a0size 8.5<\/p>\n

– If your hand measures 8.5″, choose glove\u00a0size 9<\/p>\n

– If your hand measures 9″, choose glove\u00a0size 9.5<\/p>\n

Note:<\/b>\u00a0Above conversions applicable to Proper Cloth\u00a0gloves. May differ from other glove makers.<\/span><\/p>\n

General Glove\u00a0Information<\/h2>\n

Over time, leather gloves will form to the hand with wear. Proper Cloth leather gloves are not waterproof. Avoid getting\u00a0wet, if possible. If they do become wet, air drying is recommended. If after\u00a0drying the gloves are left feeling\u00a0stiff, natural hand oils will soften them again with wear. For suede gloves, a\u00a0waterproofing chemical treatment can be applied for protection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
