Finding the perfect pair of leather gloves starts with accurate sizing. Ill-fitting gloves can be uncomfortable, restrict movement, or wear out prematurely. To ensure a proper fit, follow this step-by-step guide on how to measure your hand for leather gloves.

Why Proper Sizing Matters

Leather gloves should fit snugly without being too tight. A well-fitted glove:
– Enhances dexterity and grip
– Provides better insulation in cold weather
– Lasts longer by reducing stress on seams
