I bought your orange bronze rust suede gloves years ago and look forward to wearing them every fall/winter. They fit like new after this long and the cashmere lining keeps my hands the perfect amount of warm. The gloves don’t reduce finger mobility which is good when driving or digging into pockets. The button fits snug which is certainly a positive feature however can be cumbersome when wearing a thicker watch. The upscale look and wear of this glove helped me focus on an elevated wardrobe leading to benefits in everything I wear. Plus, they are unique! All in all these are my favorite glove and I encourage even casual glove wears to consider them.

About 2 months ago I bought 2 pairs of fort Belvedere lamb nappa gloves, in racing green and touchscreen burgundy, they are fantastic gloves and worth every penny in my view, however getting them over to the UK was a nightmare and still costs a fortune, if there were a way to order them via a market in Europe or something like that, shipping costs would be substantially lower, still love the gloves and would definitely recommend to anyone who wants quality dress gloves 👍👍👍
Hi Daniel - I bought my first pair from Fort Belvedere in January 2017, and they're still going strong! Since 2020, I've had the pleasure of working with the GG, and have an even deeper understanding for exactly what goes into the gloves. They're simply incredible, and I've since picked up the exact same green pair that you have. I'll admit that getting them to the UK from Fort Belvedere in the US might not be the easiest thing right now, but the fact I'm in my fifth year of wear for my first pair has provided me with a very impressive cost per wear (and I wear gloves pretty frequently!). You've chosen some beautiful gloves - I sincerely hope you enjoy them! 🙌
The classic glove boutique in Stockholm has recently relocated. I hope to explore their selection before they open their webstore. Personally I wear gloves most of the year, but special purpose gloves, making riding my bicycle more comfortable.
*GENUINE QUESTION* for my sartorial friends - I wear 1920's clothing every day - recently made some bow ties and started wearing them - lots of people talk to me in the street now... Seriously - people just stop me and talk sh!t. Can anyone think why people would be MORE inclined to talk to you in a bow tie? Id have thought it LESS approachable.
@@thecappeningchannel515 - Im British - so my image of a bow tie is English aristocracy. But this is not a small phenomenon. 4 people stopped me to talk whilst I walked my dog today. Normally its zero, day after day its zero. there is something super approachable about a guy in a bow tie appearntly...
I wear a bow ties and have also noted strangers are more likely to start a conversation… my theory …the bow tie denotes a person who is comfortable and relaxed over self expression it’s sort of implies that the stranger will be afforded the space to be themselves also …..just my thoughts :)8
I noticed something similar but on the opposite spectrum. I had numerous projects around the house and started wearing worn, grundgy clothes and often had to run to the store for supplies or tools. Folks often went out of their way to talk to me or just say "Hi."
I'm a fan of Dents gloves. I have half a dozen pairs, mostly browns and blacks, and I love them. I recently added a pair of black/ berry Silverstone driving gloves to my collection. They're really nice to leave in my car for those cold mornings when the steering wheel is cold, as it often is here in England.
I only wear gloves in the winter for the purpose of staying warm. I have a leather pair when I am dressed up and a thicker wool pair for more casual outfits.
I used to wear Italian glacé unlined gloves They were a snug fit and flattered the shape of the hand. Also i always found that they kept my fingers warmer than the sausage-like thicker gloves. But eventually they became virtually impossible to get hold of as the old specialist suppliers retired and closed.
I love all of my gloves. I own several pairs, and wear them almost every day with my suits and ties. I mostly wear unlined so I can wear them year round since where I live typically has mild winter seasons.
I would love to wear gloves especially colorful ones more often but: 1) can't find a proper size as I am between M and L 2) you need to take them off to do things, eg smoke or eat a snack outdoors, most gloves are too bulky for even adding sugar to your coffee in a winter outdoor cafe and 3) people don't spend that much time outdoors as they used to. If you're exercising outdoors you dont need gloves as you're warm and sweaty. A good glove should have a good fit, be flexible and be able to work with your smartphone. I've only found woolen gloves to be comfortable but they get wet very easily.
It sounds like you'll benefit from a properly sized glove according to your actual measurements, not just a standardized "M" or "L". To combat the bulkiness, you could also take a look at unlined versions. We'll be able to help you out with something that checks all the boxes for you! shop.gentlemansgazette.com/accessories/gloves?
In addition to pairing them together, I have a charcoal gray cloth coat. The gloves and scarf go very well with it. In addition, I have a gray, red, and blue tweed Scottish flat cap that completes the outfit.
I have a black Goorin Bros derby hat with a royal blue band and trim, and I've been flirting with the idea of a pair of blue leather gloves to compliment.
I generally only wear gloves in the winter. I do long hikes year round. Ten or more minute outside during the winter without gloves and my hands would be freezing then numb.
Seems like every time I get into and purchase a certain article of clothing, Gentleman’s Gazette makes a video about why men stopped wearing them. Apparently I am swimming upstream when it comes to style, ha.
If anyone has seen the Disney film An Extremely Goofy movie Bobby asks the others" Does anyone ever wonder why we always wear gloves?" Not sure if those are the exact words but it was something along those lines. Just an interesting scene I wanted to share. Overall though the only gloves I wear are for working out to protect my bare hands. Enjoy your weekend gents!
People also wore gloves for "hygiene" to avoid dirt, bacteria and viruses when greeting people. I heard somewhere that an American politician wore out four pairs of gloves during a reception because of all the handshakes, his wife wore out three pairs, she had to retire before him, bc her hand hurt to much. Another reason people do not wear full gloves or mittens are electronic devices, smartphones. Halfmitts and cutoff gloves oth ... all kinds of handwarmers for cold weather that used to be feminine or oldladyish are now worn by young men.
Nice pun there 😁😜🙄🤣😂 I'm glad that you swoofly went through the 70's my eyes started to hurt 🤦🏻♀️ but my 11 year old great nephew seems to like it 🤷♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Colorful clothing I would say to be honest most westerns only stick to black gray white and navy maybe green or yellow but thats it when I traveled to India I saw much more colors reds oranges purples pinks browns
I live in Canada, and finding non-skiing gloves is a chore. I need a large glove for long rather than meaty hands. I had to shop for two years to find a pair of leather gloves with sufficient insulation. Henry Ford design: you can get them in any colour, so long as it is black.
Would be interested in yalls thoughts on what classic fashions may come back into style? I'm thinking of things like 1950s and 1960s eyeglasses coming back into fashion after the focus on tiny and rimless glasses in the 2000s. Are there any other things that you think might see a resurgence? If so, why?
We hear you! There's been a small supply issue recently, but Nathan and the team are working hard behind the scenes to make sure we can meet your glove needs! Thanks for bearing with us 🙂
Cars with highly boosted power steering and leather-wrapped steering wheels made driving gloves redundant. That said, I recently bought a cheapo ($20) pair of leather driving gloves and love them, especially in winter as they are just as warm but much "grippier" than winter gloves. Just make sure to set your smartphone's touch screen to "sensitive."
My take: The trend of men wearing colorful leather gloves was most popular in the early 20th century. At the time, gloves were considered an essential accessory for men and women alike, and they were often worn in a wide range of colors and materials to match various outfits. As fashion evolved, gloves became less practical for everyday wear and were reserved for more formal or special occasions. Additionally, with the rise of mass-produced clothing and accessories, the availability of gloves in a wide range of colors and styles became more limited, and men's fashion began to prioritize practicality and simplicity over bold colors and flamboyant designs. Today, gloves are still worn by some men for practical reasons, such as for warmth in cold weather or for protection while doing manual labor. However, colorful leather gloves have become less common in men's fashion and are now primarily worn as a statement piece for special occasions or as part of a costume. Overall, the shift away from colorful leather gloves in men's fashion can be attributed to changes in societal norms and values, as well as changes in the availability and practicality of such accessories.
Personal transportation and people started spending more time indoors with temperature control. It made a lot of stuff impractical...like hats. Because at their very core, gloves are a high wear disposable commodity. So spending a lot of money for a dainty disposable item is inherently strange. As people were far less concerned about their appearance having snazzy looking gloves became pointless.
Wassup y’all I’m 20 years old and I’m just now getting into men’s luxury style and I wanted to know what instagram accounts that promotes luxurious jewelry for men such as chains, watches, and earrings for slim fit shirts and suits
Brightly colored day gloves are super tacky looking in my opinion. I want a pair of day gloves, but either brown black or dark gray. I wear a tailored suit every day to work and want some gloves for when I go out for a cigarette
My answer to the "Gendered Gloves" issue? General George S. Patton, buddy. Anybody questions me about covering my hands, I'll slap them in the face with my gloves!
The sad part is that "men" no longer dress up to go out. The way so-called men dress today, I've sprayed car/boats/planes dressed better than most of today's guys. I refuse to call them all "Men"
I want to dress up to go out, I just can't afford it. I wish there was sometthing like more affordable but still a fashionable set of clothes I could buy something other than your standard jeans and t-shirt.

They stopped for the same reason all impractical fads die, people got tired of keeping up with it and opted for the pragmatism of neutral colors. Who wants to keep track of not losing all those gloves and then having to match them all the time? That's a headache I don't need. It's all I can do just to keep from losing my phone...again. 😆
