A man wearing ladies' gloves? What is your opinion?

[Jack K]

Hi, I'm new to the site and I'm quite grateful that I found this site before I actually buy a product.

First of all, I have very small hands with very slender fingers for a guy. With a tape measure, I figured out that my hands' size was 7''.

Although I have tried different types of gloves in clothing stores, all men's gloves were too loose for me.

When I got my courage to try ladies gloves, they actually gave me a really good fit, snug enough to actually pick up a coin.

Here's where question comes in:

Can a man wear ladies' gloves? If I can, what kind of material would you recommend?

There are some forum members who are die-hard advocates of "Unlined Peccary gloves." However, since I live in Ann Arbor, Michigan, I highly doubt if unlined gloves can keep my hands warm in brutal Michigan winter.

If I'm wrong, please go ahead and give me some advice.

Right now, at the moment, I'm thinking about getting Madova Cashmere-lined gloves or Peccary gloves from Dents.

If they fit, they fit. And they'll be functionally identical. As long as you don't buy the ones that come up to your elbow, you'll be fine.

And yeah, you'll want lined. Cashmere linings are my preference. Soft, light and warm, and you retain dexterity that you lose with shearling or fleece.

Thank you for your advice.

Yeah, I'm thinking about getting Chester Jefferies gloves. They also make bespoke gloves at fantastic price, and I also sent them a message about which lining I should get for Michigan winter.

By the way, I have one brown tweed-ish sports jacket, one grey glen check coat and one grey shawl-collar cardigan.

What color should I get for my gloves? Navy blue? Tan Brown? Dove Grey? Even chamois?
