Looking for glove recommendations, too. I have somewhat long fingers and most leather gloves, even XXL sized ones have their fingers end just in the middle of my proximal phalanxes (the finger segments right above the knuckles), while being way too wide for my palm.

Milsurp is therefore a no go. Am I stuck with elastic knit gloves, or are there any good leather gloves for long fingers and slim palms?

I don't know about Europe-specific brands, but I got mine online at leatherglovesonline.com. I got the ultra thin unlined patrol gloves and really like them.

I needed a pair because flying at night was getting cold, but no glove would provide the dexterity I needed. Surprisingly warm in the winter despite being unlined, they work great and fit to your hand well. The measurements are taken around your palm for sizing; they'll be tight at first but loosen a bit in time. I think they have sizes for those with long fingers too.

Unfortunately I spilled a bunch of Jet-A on mine so now they smell like oiled sheepskin and fuel

Why do Americans keep doing this?
Imagine if I moved to the USA and started asking around where a good place to get a ten gallon hat to go with my cowboy boots

I'm not american

The gloves I have now are ski gloves and have bright green on the back of them so I feel stupid wearing them in the city.

I like leather products and think they last longer and age better. Ive also seen a fair few people wearing them here

>>12089988
Thanks I'll give them a look

Dents from the UK are quite good for them, and they're not too pricey. Couldn't say what's good on the continent, however.

I have a pair of black leather gloves with the three lines on the back of the hand to go with "townish" suits, and a pair of mustard sheepskin ones lined with fur for more "countryish" clothes.

what does fa think of Fingerless Gloves, wool ones not leather

Depends on where in Europe you live. If you're in or near the UK I'd suggest heading to Burlington Arcade. Dent's, Chester Jefferies and Budd all stock great gloves. If you're in Italy you could try Merola and Madova, I believe both are based in Florence. In France you've got Causse Gantier.

Material wise I'd suggest either peccary / hogskin or carpincho leather.

Lined or unlined is entirely up to you.

I forgot, there's also a Swedish brand called Hestra. Not as pricey as the others, but still very good.

Jesus fucking christ how autist are people here? Where does Europe store it's available gloves? Where should I buy a 3€ white t-shirt? I don't know - maybe go out into the real world and see what they have to offer? Jesus.

Thanks for the contribution

Why are on a fashion forum if the thought of discussing various available products triggers you?

From what I can tell most of Hestra's stock is now made in China.

Fuck off, we're full.

They're very good. I grew up Sweden and wore up all throughout my childhood up until now.
