How to Find Your Size:
Usually one hand will be slightly larger than the
other, typically the strong hand (e.g. the right if
right handed). Using a tape measure, wrap the tape
around the hand at the widest part as shown and make
a loose fist. Round the measurement to the nearest
whole inch.

Sizing is based on a
"normal" or "standard" size hand. Unfortunately,
almost no one actually has a "standard" sized hand,
no two people's hands are the same, and no pair of
hands matches exactly. Similarly, no two pairs of
gloves are exactly alike, as each pair is cut
individually and since leather is a natural product,
no two skins are exactly alike, nor is the leather
uniform throughout the skin.
While we try to be exact, some gloves will have a
little more stretch in the width, and some a little
less. We refer to these as "soft" (a little more
stretch) and "firm" (a little less stretch) sizes.
You can check this by pinching the sides of the
glove on either side of the knuckle area and pulling
outwards. A "perfect" size should stretch about 3/4"
for an unlined glove, 1" for a lightly lined glove,
and 1 1/4" for a thickly lined glove. A "soft" pair
will have slightly more, a "firm" pair slightly
less. People with shorter fingers should try going
down 1 size and trying on a "soft" pair. People with
longer fingers should go up 1 size and trying a
"firm" pair. Sizing is broader in the Damascus Hand
Armor line and most are "firm" sizes. |
