Leather gloves: how to choose
- Shooting: choose Speyside leather for protection, or the neoprene fingerless style if you need to feel the trigger.
- Driving: a thin leather glove such as the Delta gives grip and feel on the wheel.
- Winter warmth: choose a wool or cashmere lining, or a Thinsulate knitted glove.
- Phone use: choose the touchscreen suede glove so you do not need to take them off.
Dents gloves sizing
Measure around the widest part of your palm, just below the knuckles, then match it to the size chart on the product page. Leather gloves fit closely at first and relax with wear, so avoid going too large. If you are between sizes, choose the one that lets you flex your fingers comfortably.
How to care for leather gloves
- Let wet gloves dry naturally at room temperature, away from radiators and fires.
- Reshape them by hand while they dry.
- Wipe off dirt with a damp cloth, and avoid soaking.
- Use a suitable leather conditioner now and then.
Dents gloves as gifts
A pair of Dents gloves is a classic gift. The Handsewn leather gloves come in black or chestnut and suit a tweed jacket, wax coat or smart overcoat. Pair them with a tweed flat cap. See our best flat caps guide and our guide to what tweed is.
