Frequently asked questions
Measuring
How do I measure my hand?
Measure around your dominant hand just below the knuckles, excluding the thumb, with your hand relaxed and your fingers together. The measurement in inches is your SEYMOURE glove size. See our size chart.
What can I use to measure?
A soft measuring tape is ideal. You can also use a ribbon, string, or the SEYMOURE measuring tool. Wrap it around your hand and mark where it meets. If using a string or ribbon, measure that length against a ruler. It should sit comfortably around your hand, not pulled tight.
Which hand should I measure?
Measure your dominant hand. It is usually slightly larger, and SEYMOURE sizing is based on it.
Choosing your size
What size should I order?
Match your hand measurement to the size chart above.
Women's sizes range from 6.5" to 8".
Men's sizes range from 8" to 9.5".
If you measure between sizes, choose the larger size.
What if I am between sizes?
Measure again to confirm your size. If you are still between sizes, choose the larger size. XS/S and M/L styles follow the guidance in What do XS/S and M/L mean? If you're still unsure, contact us at connect@seymouregloves.com. We'd be happy to help.
What is French glove sizing?
SEYMOURE gloves are designed in the USA and handcrafted in Europe, following the traditional French glove sizing system. Your size is based on the circumference of your hand, measured in inches just below the knuckles, excluding the thumb.
What do XS/S and M/L mean?
XS/S means Extra Small/Small. M/L means Medium/Large. These sizes are used on selected women's styles where the design allows greater flexibility in fit, such as our knit and opera gloves.
XS/S fits 6" to 6.75"
M/L fits 7.25" to 8"
If your hand measures 7", we recommend XS/S for a closer fit in our knit and opera styles. If you prefer a more relaxed fit, choose M/L.
Is men's sizing different from women's?
Yes. Men's and women's gloves follow separate size charts. Use the chart for the collection you are shopping. However, men measure their hands the same way women do. See How to Measure.
Fit & wear
How should a new pair fit?
Every pair is designed to fit like a second skin. A new glove should feel close through the palm and fingers without bunching. As the leather softens, it will naturally mold to your hand over time. If you prefer a more relaxed fit, choose the larger size.
Should my fingertips reach the end of the glove?
Yes. Your fingertips should nearly reach the end of each finger without excess leather beyond the tip. A properly fitted glove should feel close while allowing natural movement. If you have long nails, we can create custom gloves to accommodate the additional length. Visit our Exclusive Services page.
Do SEYMOURE leather gloves stretch?
Our ethically sourced Italian nappa leather naturally molds to your hand with wear. A glove that fits closely when new will soften slightly over time. A glove that feels loose when new will only become looser.
How do I know if my gloves are too big?
If there is excess leather at the fingertips, looseness through the palm, or a large opening across the back of the hand, your gloves are likely too large.
How do I know if my gloves are too small?
A new glove should feel close, but never restrictive. Make sure the snap closes comfortably and the opening across the back of your hand maintains its natural shape. If movement feels limited or the leather is under excessive tension, we recommend choosing the next size up.
Do all SEYMOURE styles fit the same?
Every SEYMOURE glove is measured the same way, but not every collection uses the same size range. Our driving collection ranges from S to XL, selected women's styles use XS/S and M/L sizing, and our certified Italian nylon styles are offered in one size. Lined styles, such as the Cashmere Lined Kelly, feel thicker through the fingers and palm than unlined leather. Any style-specific fit notes are listed on the product page, or you can review our size chart.
Collections
Driving Gloves
All driving gloves, including fingerless styles, follow the same hand measurement and size chart. They are designed to feel soft, luxurious, and like a natural extension of your hand.
Lined Gloves
Lined styles follow the same size guide. Because they are double layered, they feel thicker through the fingers and palm. Any style-specific fit recommendations are noted on the product page.
Opera Gloves
Opera gloves use XS/S and M/L sizing, where each size covers a range of hand measurements rather than a single size. See What do XS/S and M/L mean? for the measurements. Length is determined by the style, not the size.
How long are SEYMOURE opera gloves?
The length of each opera glove is listed on its product page.
Italian Nylon Gloves
Certified Italian nylon styles are designed as one size fits most, comfortably fitting hands from 6.5" to 8". The fabric has natural stretch and is cut to move comfortably with a wide range of hands. If you have a particularly petite hand, you may prefer a custom-made pair, as the standard fit may feel more relaxed.
Ceremony Gloves
For weddings and events, we recommend working directly with us on sizing. We use a variety of exceptional European fabrics, each with its own unique feel and fit. Please contact us or visit our Exclusive Services page.
How far ahead should I order?
We recommend ordering at least 10 days before your event to allow time for any exchanges if needed. Standard shipping is complimentary. If you need your order sooner, we're happy to arrange priority or overnight delivery.
Help with your fit
What if my gloves do not fit?
We can, of course, exchange your gloves. Please refer to our Exchange Policy for details. As a sustainable brand, we're always happy to help you find the right fit before you order whenever possible. We work hard to keep our environmental footprint low.
How can I speak with someone about sizing?
If you are between sizes or ordering for a ceremony, contact connect@seymouregloves.com before placing your order. We'll be happy to help you find your perfect fit. You may even hear from our founder. Helping customers find their perfect fit is one of her favorite parts of building SEYMOURE.
