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.

Wow – these are seriously comfy gloves for the garden and feel lovely to wear, plus warm without being bulky. Very quick delivery – even though I had been made aware of a slight delay, this was quicker than forecast so very pleased. Thank you!
Belinda (verified owner) –
The gloves are very warm and have good finger dexterity, I have been working in them today, one of the coldest days we have had but my hands stayed warm and dry. I am very pleased with them and also the very prompt and efficient service.
Angela –
Splendid gloves – warm, waterproof and can do a lot of horsey tasks while wearing them. I also have to commend Clare for excellent customer service.

Very quick delivery and these waterproof gloves are warm and comfortable. I do a lot of gardening and find my fingers get very cold normally but not with these gloves. I have bought some for my daughter who suffers from Raynauds and I am sure this will make her hands much more comfortable. I will let you know!

I potter in the garden all year – I try to do this when it’s not chucking down, which it does a LOT in the NW of England!! But, even if the air is dry, the soil is usually damp, if not wet, so I was looking for a pair of warm and waterproof gloves. These are amazing!! Can’t rate them highly enough. My fingers are toasty warm even in cold and wet conditions. Delivery was speedy and customer service was great.
Alison (verified owner) –
Fabulous! Warm, dry, comfortable and they fit like, well, a glove!

I bought these for my Mum’s Christmas present. In the summer she acquired her first allotment and has been working hard and learning lots. She loves her gloves, has warm toasty hands and has been able to continue in the cold weather with transforming her allotment.
Delivery was fast and your customer service is great. Would recommend to anyone.

I get very cold hands and it was wonderful to be working in the cold and wet with warm hands!! I have now had these gloves for 6 weeks and if I was being really picky the only downside appears to be that the insulation in the fingertips may have been compressed and my fingers feel colder than when the gloves were new.
The sizing chart was also really helpful and a pair of gloves that fitted properly was a great bonus
Mrs Joan Gough (verified owner) –
These are literally the warmest gloves I have ever owned! The only reason I have given them 4 rather than 5 stars is that they can’t be washed because they are leather but apart from that I love them. I don’t only use them for gardening but for my daily walks because they are so warm and because of the leather palms you can also use them for driving.

Hello Clare
Just to let you know the gloves have just arrived and are a really good fit. I am off into the garden now to get them christened!
Many thanks for your help and advice. The gloves are really warm and surprisingly easy enough to pick up larger weeds.

Hi Clare,
Just a thank-you message for the gloves I ordered from you a couple weeks back. They were a gift for my father on his birthday – he’s a keen gardener and has been working on a new garden shed since he retired last year but his old gloves weren’t keeping his hands very warm. He was very pleased with them, and since you took the time to write and pack a personalized note in the package, I thought it only right to reply with a message of my gratitude. It was a very nice gesture to go with a very successful present for my dad.
I’ve given your business card to my parents, and we’ll be sure to do business with you again. Your range is excellent and the prices very reasonable too! It was a pleasure purchasing from you.
