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.
