Vintage gloves

[sabotta77]

Who thinks that vintage gloves represent much more higher quality than gloves nowadays? What are your favourite vintage glove manufacturers or companies?

I agree to what you said based on what I heard and see from the internet although I never own any of the vintage gloves yet (unlike many of our friends here in the forum)

But If I am to get them , It should be from popular brands like Roger Fare, Van Raalte , Grandoe or Alexander for example.

Do you have vintage gloves and current gloves?
Not having ever seen any vintage gloves in good shape I think current ones might be better due to advances in technology and such.

Ah, another Dutch manufacturer! (Or of Dutch descent at least, looking at the name.) We're pretty good at this.

Your logic is correct, new gloves should be better but it is actually not the case. I always look for vintage gloves but the problem, women hands were so small I can't find the right size for me. I bought an opera white cotton vintage glove with wrist buttons. Even though it is old, the quality and the details of sewing is much better than any actual satin or cotton glove I have.
It is also the case for leather. I bought a pair size 7.5 but it was actually smaller and didn't fit my hand. But the details and the quality of leather is much better than my actual leather gloves. Ok I dont own a 200$ pair for comparison. But actually, I think leather gets better each time you wear it.
I am no expert in vintage glove manufacturers but I watch classic movies and gloved hands at that time were more tight and beautiful than todays gloves. I am not sure if they were customized. Since gloves were an important part in each outfit, manifacturers and tailors must really take care of each small detail so women could do their daily activities wearing comfortable gloves

I'd think movie or tv gloves are likely tailored or even sewn onto the actresses if they look like they have an insane fit. We brought our ines gloves to be tailored twice and they have an amazing fit on my wife. I can't compare to vintage gloves as I don't have those. I will concede that its likely cotton or satin would fit better as I think these are machine made nowadays? I could be wrong.

I have both, and the 90% of my vintage gloves are like brand new (also have some sewn together)
