Seems like a year for bespoke accessories.

Just received a bunch of bespoke gloves from a well reputed Italian firm for my wife and me.

Gray capybara . . .

Fingers' lengths and and palm circumference are the measurments accounted for in bespoke gloves, in addition to styling and leather.

This makes sense as glove leathers "give" more than, say shoes.

Not going to lie. When I see this i start thinking of Derek Zoolander and the hand model part.

When I first approached them they told me they no longer do bespoke, and so I am hesitant about revealing possible misinformation. The order was large, and the items specific.

Linings - some silk, some cashmere. The pictured ones are cashmere lined.
