Dress Day Glove Etiquette

Dress gloves can be worn at any time of the year in any setting. In warmer months, consider purchasing unlined gloves so that your hands do not become overheated.

Day dress gloves were traditionally worn in a wide array of colors in addition to traditional leather tones. Popular options included light gray, green, yellow, petrol blue, and even orange.

Always take your gloves off before shaking hands. In a formal setting or upon entering someone’s home, you should remove your gloves.

When indoors, remove your gloves if you are eating, drinking, or smoking. It is considered polite to remove your gloves before handling anything that might be soiled by them, like food or paper.

When not wearing your gloves, never stuff them into your pockets as this can look sloppy. Instead, lay them flatly together, one on top of the other, and hold them or place them beside you on a flat surface.

On the Wings of the Dove

Light gray gloves, often referred to as dove grey, were considered for centuries the most elegant shade of leather for day dress gloves because of how easily they could be paired with any ensemble and outerwear elements like an overcoat, scarf, or hat. Our particular shade is just as versatile and will coordinate easily with all of your accessories. 

That being said, you can maximize the elegance of your look by factoring in the colors which appear most pleasing with light gray and employing those hues in your outfit.

For a classic and chic look, consider teaming it with navy blue or charcoal, which provide a sophisticated contrast.

Want something bright and lively? You can't go wrong by adding a pop of pastel pink or a vibrant turquoise.

For those who prefer earth tones, light gray marries beautifully with olive green or rust. And for an understated yet elegant vibe, pairing it with creamy whites or soft beiges offers a timeless appeal.

With such a wide array of coordinating colors, light gray serves as the perfect canvas to express your personal style.

Leather Maintenance

All leathers employed by Fort Belvedere have been carefully sourced and tanned for longevity and durability, but there are simple steps that you can take to keep your gloves looking their best and feeling as comfortable as possible for years to come.

Cleaning

If a portion of your gloves gets wet, it may develop water stains. If an area of your gloves is darker than the rest after getting wet and then drying, wet the entire glove with clean water and then allow it to air dry for several days. The gloves will then be returned to their uniform appearance.

In most cases, your gloves can be washed with just clean water. If you want to use a cleanser, we suggest a dedicated glove-leather cleaner or a very mild product like baby soap or shampoo. Never use artificial cleaners.

Never wring your gloves dry. Instead, lay the gloves flat with the fingers extended on a towel and layer another towel on top to remove excess water. Then, air dry the gloves for a few days, keeping them clear of artificial heat sources like a radiator, hair dryers, and the like, because they could discolor or damage the leather.

Note that after cleaning, your gloves may feel slightly stiff. Simply wear them regularly to break them back in and they shall return to their previous softness.

Storage

After wearing your gloves, store them flat with the fingers stretched out. Never leave your gloves balled up or crumpled.

Exquisite Lamb Nappa

Lamb nappa is a type of soft, full-grain leather that is crafted from the hides of young sheep. This leather is famed for its suppleness and smooth texture, which makes it an ideal choice for luxurious sartorial accessories. Lamb nappa is not only prized for its elegance and buttery feel but also for its durability, despite being lightweight and thin. Its fine grain provides a natural uniform appearance favored by connoisseurs.

Decadent Cashmere Lining

Cashmere is renowned for its exceptional properties, which make it an excellent choice for lining luxury gloves. Cashmere fibers are exceptionally soft against the skin, providing a feeling of indulgence every time you slip on the gloves. Despite its lightness, cashmere provides excellent insulation, keeping your hands warm and cozy even in the chilliest weather. It naturally allows your skin to breathe, preventing any discomfort from sweat buildup. When well cared for, cashmere maintains its shape and texture over time, ensuring that your gloves remain a cherished accessory for years.

What's your glove size?

To determine your glove size, simply measure your dominant hand around the fullest section of the palm.

As implied by the expression “to fit like a glove,” dress gloves were traditionally worn with a relatively tight fit to appear as trim and elegant as possible. Therefore, if you are in-between sizes, we generally recommend sizing down: as the leather stretches, it will conform perfectly to your hand’s dimensions.

Details & Specs

Chestnut Brown Lamb Nappa Touchscreen Gloves with Dark Green Contrast and Scarf
  • Superior Italian Leather

    Italy is renowned for its artisanal leather production, and these gloves are an example of this ancient heritage. Proper glove leather must be soft but durable, flexible but structured, and we have sourced a lamb nappa leather that does all of this is, and is exceptionally soft.

  • Hand-Sewn Gloves

    Sewn by Hungarian artisans who can only be described as glove-making virtuosos, these gloves are truly a work of art. Each pair takes hours to complete, and the clear pride that our craftsmen feel in their work is evident from the attentive detail that they lavish on every step of the sewing process.

  • Traditional Button Closure

    To ensure a good seal at the throat and a close fit overall, gloves historically featured a button closure at the wrist. As a cost-saving measure, this functionality has practically disappeared, but at Fort Belvedere, we are proud to reintroduce this important feature. Wrapped in leather, our button closure ensures that the glove sits tightly on the wrist so it lies neatly under your sleeve. For a dash of sprezzatura charm, however, you can leave your gloves nonchalantly unbuttoned for a more rakish appearance.

  • Elegant Fourchette Detailing

    Dynamic diagonal lines, known as fourchettes, have been a traditional decoration on the backs of men's gloves for centuries. Imparting a strong sense of movement and action, our fourchettes are hand sewn and subtly create visual interest that sets you apart as a connoisseur of glove-making.

  • Quirks for Mobility

    To increase the range of finger movement, the best glove makers add triangular segments of leather between the fingers that are called quirks. Quirks are a hallmark of superior craftsmanship and their inclusion is always indicative of exceptional product design. We like to make these quirks contrast-colored for an unexpected pop of color that highlights this unique glove feature.

  • Cashmere Lined

    Alpaca and cashmere are the two best linings for gloves, the former being generally warmer and the latter being generally softer. Because these are dress-day gloves not necessarily intended for extreme temperatures, we decided to line this pair in deliciously soft cashmere. Left in its natural mottled oatmeal color, this cashmere was spun, plied, finished, and knitted in Italy according to our exacting standards to ensure a proper fit and maximum comfort.
