Pictures of nice gloves...?

Yes, unlined leather gloves with separately stitched thumb compartments can work this way. My usual problem with gloves is that when I spread my thumb and index finger apart from each other as far as I can, my purlicue raises so much that it splits the stitching around the thumb. That's the reason I need an 11 in some gloves, to keep them from coming unstitched in the crook of the thumb. Even with the lined Hestra, it's the same problem. Only the unlined ones with separately stitched thumb compartments stretch to fit all the way down into the crook of my thumb without splitting the stitching open.

I would probably do best to just buy bespoke gloves and the Sauso store is just a few kilometers away from where I live here in Helsinki - they will measure you right in the store and make any glove you ask them to.

Yes, a made to measure garment is obviously the best option, as everybody has hands different from another and a ready to wear glove has standard sizes that are a compromise for the most of people.
For example, I have slim fingers and the most gloves are a little too roomy for me.

So, these are my new glove acquisitions during the past month, with the exception of the "boxing mitts" which I bought two years ago. All Hestra. The black pair on the lower right are unlined and I absolutely love them, going to order another pair today in "cork" colouring.

They should be deerskin. I'd like them so much more without the imprinted logo.

Yes, they are hand sewn deerskin. I don't like the logos, either, but at least they are relatively discreet about it (as opposed to their non-leather gloves, which are basically hand-worn marketing material).

Hi guys!

Anobody knows if Hungant is still in business? I've tried to contact them via e-mail and contact form at the website and got no reply for about two weeks...

Best,
Alex

I really love the Sauso marine-coloured unlined peccary gloves model name "Heikki". So much that I now bought a pair of the same gloves in the same colour, but this time with cashmere lining. Couldn't pass up the deal as they were again on sale for half price. Kinda makes me feel a little bit better about just buying a burgundy pair of peccary-cashmere from Sauso for my wife at full price :)

Of course there exists a glove chapter! How wonderful.
My glove game is poor, but heading to London next year as a permanent move. Gloves shall be needed.

Australia, current abode, does not often lend itself to a glove embracing climate.

Some nice items there, especially the first three pairs from the top.
