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.

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.

Gilly –
I wanted a pair of gloves that would keep my hands dry and also not lose any sensitivity when doing delicate or fiddly tasks, such as fine weeding. I always seem to end up taking my gloves off as I can’t feel what I am doing and then getting too muddy and wet to put them back on again. These gloves are brilliant, like a second skin. My hands stay nice and dry, I can feel what I’ m doing and I don’t get my nails caked in mud – perfect. Thank you Lovely Hands.

I have the All Weather Grip gloves which are excellent. They are breathable and absolutely waterproof. The speed and service of Lovely Hands is also five star.

Have bought these for my daughter as she has asked for waterproof gloves when cleaning out the chickens! They are a present so she hasn’t seen/used them yet but they look exactly what she wants hence the 5 stars,! Very good service from Lovely Hands.

Hello Clare
I just wanted to say thank you for the lovely note you sent, along with my order. It really made me smile! Your gloves are amazing. The last pair I had kept going for a whole year! Thank you for keeping my hands nice and dry, whilst working in many a wet garden. I can’t wait to use my new pair.

I think I’ve been buying from Clare now for at least 6 years, and there’s no way I will ever go past her. All the girls in my family are keen gardeners, so guess what’s on the top of the Christmas stocking list. At one point Clare thought I’d opened a shop (that order was quite big). Great gloves, great service and really good prices. Thank you Clare…It’s alway a joy to open the parcels from you.

I just wanted to say thank you for speedy and personal service regarding the 306 gloves I purchased from you in August. I was looking for a pair of comfortable water resistant type gloves (after having wet hands whilst gardening throughout July!) and my daughter recommended your company. I’m really satisfied with them and will look to purchase additional ones in the future.
