Selection of leather gloves
When buying leather women's and men's gloves, you must first determine your size. To do this, you need to measure the centimeter of the hand circumference approximately in the area of the knuckles, but without the thumb. When the hand is 14 cm in circumference, the gloves are of a third size, etc. Below is a summary table of sizes:
14 = 3 | 15 = 4 | 16 = 5 | 17, 5 = 6, 5 | 20, 5 = 7, 5 | 23 = 8, 5 | 26 = 9.5 |
14, 5 = 3, 5 | 15, 5 = 4, 5 | 16, 5 = 6 | 19 = 7 | 22 = 8 | 24 = 9 | 27 = 10 |
Now we need to decide on the shape and material. Will it be gloves or mittens, leather or suede.
The traditional choice for most women is the leather gloves of the classic style. The material can be natural leather and imitation leather. Now the technology is so advanced that not even every seller will distinguish the natural skin from modern kozhzama. In order not to get a fake, it's better to buy gloves in solid stores, and not in a tent on the market. Leatherette ducks in the cold and cracks in strong cold.
The natural skin is elastic and is not afraid of frost. It is hygroscopic, promotes a normal microclimate for hands. Skin misses static electricity, which is extremely useful. However, gloves, sewn with pieces, quickly lose shape without care.
To distinguish leatherette from genuine leather, it is not necessary to examine the slices, sniff, burn the product. It is enough to hold the gloves in your hands. The skin from the hands will necessarily heat up. A leatherette will remain cold.
Gloves are important for gloves. And it's not about beauty, but the ability to keep precious heat. The stitches must be even, neat. The edges are not necessarily glued, but are sewn. If the stitches go with different frequency and at times are generally skipped - this is a substandard product. Also fake can be determined by staining. Good skin does not emit paint. If you hold a white wet wipe on the glove and on the napkin there are traces of paint, such gloves are not suitable for a self-respecting woman. This or leatherette, or substandard.
Now fashionable women's gloves from husky . Laika - this is not a breed of dogs, and the skin of newborn goats or lambs. Admittedly, such gloves are suitable for autumn and spring. Laika does not keep warm. Winter models must be insulated with additional knitwear, fur or knitted liner.
If gloves are bought for a long time, there is no alternative to natural skin. The most durable are female goatskin gloves. Any decorative elements, embroidery, inserts noticeably shorten the life. The more seams, leather pieces, the more they will have to look after.
Women's gloves of sheep leather should not be misleading. They look very nice, but their hands warm badly. If the "sheep" gloves are purchased for the winter, they should be with an extra warm lining.
Suede female gloves are always at the height of fashion. They look more elegant than leather, and at the same time because of the fleecy structure it is much warmer. But their main disadvantage is the rapid loss of presentation. By the next season, the pile is falling off, and the suede gloves start to gloss ugly. All kinds of care for suede gloves are expensive and not always effective.
When choosing suede gloves, it is important to pay attention to the way of production. Manually sewed suede things are better than those that have passed through the production line. The most desirable and expensive models are those whose seams on the lining are hidden . If there is absolutely no line, then gloves are glued and do not last long.
The quality of the lining is also important. Lining should be exactly in size. She should not wrinkle folds, or, conversely, tighten the skin of gloves. When measuring, make sure that there is space between the palm and the lining. After all, the main barrier before frost is the layer of air between the glove and the palm. If the lining tightly grips your hands, your hands will freeze. Lining can be knitted, knitted, but the warmest - fur. Naturally, natural fur is preferable to artificial fur.
Motorcyclists, motorists, conductors, sellers, sportsmen often choose a blowjob glove. They are without fingers. There are blowjobs and for fashionistas. But such models visually shorten the fingers. Sports minnows are distinguished by the heterogeneity of materials, textures and are often brightly colored in several colors.
In general, designers took care of women. There are gloves for full palms with a pulling effect. And there are models for long nails with special elongations at the fingertips.
Care of leather gloves
Skin is afraid of dampness. Therefore, leather gloves before autumn rains should be lubricated with water-repellent creams. If the gloves need cleaning, they are first wiped with water, in which a little ammonia and soap are dissolved. Then gloves are rubbed to shine with a cloth moistened with vaseline, glycerin or castor oil. To restore the natural shine to the skin, it can be rubbed with a moistened coffee grounds (light gloves this, of course, does not apply!). And a leather women's glove - as good as new!
The most careful leaving will require suede gloves. Losunayuschiesya areas can be restored with a special solution.

Then it is washed with warm water. At the end, thoroughly soaked with a towel, dried.
