How to size your hands for great fitting gloves
- Print out the Hand-Size-Guide, lay it flat on a table. Lovely Hands – Final Hand-Size-Guide
- Standing up, place your right hand over the blue hand outline, follow the written instructions, and keep your fingers together not splayed. Note the size number suggested and look for this in the ‘select a size’ option on the product page. Manufacturers recommend rounding up the size if you are in between.
- Other factors to bear in mind;
-
- If you are tall you tend to have hands needing the larger glove sizes.
- If your fingers are long or chunky this may also necessitate a larger size.
- Depending on how stretchy the fabric you may get a better fit in your lower size.
Stretchy gloves –
Ladies & men’s – Maxiflex Elite, Active and Ultimate, Showa 370, 341, 306. Ladies –Tegera 90066, 90068, 90065
My personal example;
The blue outline suggests I am between a size 6 and 7, closer to the 6.
In stretchy gloves where I want to have my fingers right down to the ends I wear a 6. In leather gloves that do not have so much stretch I wear a 7. I have slim fingers.
Men – please see the table of men’s hand measurements for each individual glove on the product pages.
If in any doubt contact me or order a selection to try on at home. Returning goods is easy, please see the policy.

Mike –
Superb fit to my hands and feel very snug but also like I wasn’t wearing any (because they were so comfortable). I use my gloves while tidying, cleaning and doing general household chores. My main use for these gloves which surprised me was using them whilst grooming my malamute. He is very particular about how he is cleaned and who by. He seemed to love the addition of the gloves and they also help to remove his lower coat much easier than when I’m not wearing them!
The infusion of Aloe and Vitamin E into the gloves is remarkably noticeable once gloves are removed. Skin feels as though it has had a moisturising treatment applied as well as providing protection.
I think THE best thing about these gloves is that the fit is so perfect that I maintained pretty much 100% dexterity with my fingertips….I have never had to take them off to do a ‘fiddly’ task to then reapply them which makes them an effortless and enjoyable wear!
