Thanks for sharing your information, some manufacturers indicate glove sizes by inches and others by Small, Medium, Large, etc. We always indicate the size of a pair of gloves the same way the manufacturer does.

It's the best page I've found for glove sizes in leather.
Everyone's a freak in one way or another - it's how much and how you choose to express it that counts. As long as it harms no-one (unless that's their preference, of course) then who are we to judge?

I'll second that. My best fitting leather opera gloves by far were ordered in accordance with this sizing guide from Alwyn Gloves :up:

Thanks, there's nothing else than a won't size glove in my opinion.

I've checked out some of the sizing charts and measured from my dominant hand. For fetish latex gloves (opera-length), do I need to measure the circumference just below my knuckles as well as measuring from the tip of my middle finger to the bottom of my palm in order to get the best size possible?

I much prefer to go by the circumference over length for anything made of latex, because I think it's a lot better if it fits right around your palms and the top bit of your hand (does that have a name?). From there I'll go a size smaller because latex stretches and it should fit really nicely all over, plus the fingers will be extra tight both lengthways and sideways.

Isn't that just "the back of your hand"?

Oh yeah!

But it must have some obscure scientific name like the "kernoost" or "jibbyflangelum" or something. I'll ask around.
