Sizing gloves = picking the greater of palm circumference or wrist-to-middle finger tip. I would not recommend sizing down to try to stretch them, particularly if your finger length is the greater measure - it would just put pressure on the seam there.

What then is your recommendation for those with in between sizes?
I take an 8.5 in glove from other sellers?

What's the eta for the mto Inis Meains?

I was told they shipped out of the factory so we expect them any day - we'll send emails to everyone when they're ready to dispatch.

I think it depends a little on which measurement is the greater for you (length or palm). I'm personally more bothered by a glove finger that's not long enough than by a palm that feels a bit tight.

I was not aware of the wrist to finger method of measuring. Nearly everyone else that has online glove selling site use the circumference of palm method.

In any case, for me, 8.5 is the right size AND the fingers are just right as well.

You stock only whole sizes, so should I go for 8 or 9?
I figure the lack of lining would allow the skin to stretch a bit.

You offer free returns, but I am a sucker for instant gratification, so am hoping to get it right the first time.

Yes in that case, I would go to 8
