Gloves for thin fingers?

iroh · Jan 9, 2011

I still can't bring myself to pay $140 CAD for a pair of custom gloves from Chester Jefferies. Are there any alternatives? My fingers are not super thin or super long, just a tiny bit thinner than the average hand. I would wear women's gloves but they don't get big enough and or the selection isn't there.

I have only been to winners and danier leather and I haven't really seen anything I liked. Are there any stores I can visit and see what is available?

I know however the gloves don't have the be custom made, it is not possible to get a good pair of non-custom gloves for $70?

You want something good, you have to pay a little bit extra. Chester Jefferies supplies an excellent product for a lot less than many other manufacturers. It's either that or trawl your way through the RTW stock and see what, if anything, fits you. Up to you.

Thin fingers, or thin hands? What's the measurement around your hand? What's the length from base of hand to fingertip?

Wear womens gloves. Look harder, because there are plenty of women with hands bigger than you

I know you are trying to be helpful, and I need more details, so where can I look? That is why the OP was made.

Just suck it up and stick with Chester Jefferies. You won't regret it, I'm sure.

+1 I agree with this whole-heartedly.
Everyone here has only your best interests in mind and would not recommend anything inferior.
Think of it this way; at $140 for a pair of CJ's, are your fingers not worth $14 each?
You'll probably have that pair of gloves for 10 years in which case the investment is $1.40 per finger.

Have you tried slim fit gloves? I did this, however, once I wanted an even better fit, I started taking new gloves to a tailor, and having him slim down the fingers.

Is this how people rationalize expensive purchases? I can say a $10 pair of gloves are worth $1 for each finger and if I keep them for 10 years that will leave me with $0.10 per finger.

For what you get from Chester Jefferies, I would hardly call them expensive, especially as they'll make you a bespoke pair (if you choose that option). If you want cheap--as in cheap quality--go for it. You get what you pay for.

Most likely a $10 pair of gloves arent going to hold for 10 years.
