Mens gloves - anyone understand sizing?!

7 replies

I'm about to buy some gloves for my husband. Options are:

S (6)
M (7-9)
L (10-11)

My husband is 5'11" and slim / medium build. Normal sized hands (!?!). Do I go M or L? They're pricey and I'm quite short on time so keen to get it right first time.

Thank you very much in advance!

Hands size correspond to feet size!
So buy whatever size that matches his shoe size

L. Size 7 on a man is seriously “dainty”. I’m 8.5 and I wouldn’t consider I have shovels…

The numbers are the measurement in inches around the palm (above thumb). I’m a woman and I’m an 8 - I have bigger hands than a small man would.

Wow! Every day is a school day! Thank you.

His feet are a UK 10 (I think the gloves are
Swedish but let's not complicate things) so I'm going to go large.

Good plan!

It was a department store glove seller that told me that about glove and shoe sizes. An odd little factoid.
Hope he likes the gloves!

I would go large based on his height

The L are a perfect fit! Thank you to everyone who took the time to reply!
