Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose sartorial fabric over leather?

For a different kind of elegance: softer, more structured, naturally paired with wool coats, blazers and tailored looks. The non-leather option that still reads composed rather than casual.

What kind of wool are these gloves made of?

From two mills. Vitale Barberis Canonico, founded in Biella in 1663, supplies Italian wool used for tailoring across Naples, Milan and Savile Row. Holland & Sherry, on Savile Row in London, sets the standard for British suiting. Both are jacket-grade wools, not knitwear yarn.

Are they warm enough for winter?

Yes for transitional and moderate cold (above 0°C): fine wool and cashmere offer a good balance of warmth and lightness, suited to urban winter. For deep winter (below -5°C), cashmere-lined leather provides more insulation per millimetre.

Are they washable?

Treat them as tailored cashmere or wool pieces: not machine-washable. Brush off lint after wear, spot-clean only with a damp cloth on plain water, and use professional dry-cleaning if needed. Soaking or hand-washing can reshape the bonded lining.

What size should I order?

Measure the circumference of your dominant hand at the knuckles. View the women's size guide for the full method. Wool has very little stretch, so pick your true size; going down a size will not work.

Women's Sartorial Fabric Gloves

Tailored, not knitted

Women's gloves in sartorial fabric are born from the same materials used for suits, overcoats and jackets: cashmere, fine wools and selected blends chosen for hand, body and hold. Vitale Barberis Canonico, a historic Biella mill founded in 1663, and Holland & Sherry, the reference for British tailoring on Savile Row, are chosen for the quality of their cloth. Constructed like a leather glove, not knitted: a structured shell, a bonded lining and shape-retaining seams.

Sartorial quality: in a sartorial glove the fabric must have body, softness and the ability to hold a clean line. Cashmere brings warmth and a softer hand; wool offers structure and resistance. The result is a glove that keeps its silhouette through the season, with the lining bonded to the inside so it never slips or bunches.

Shape, elegance and comfort: the value of these gloves is in their construction. They do not have the relaxed elasticity of knitwear, but a more precise form close to the language of tailoring. They remain feminine, soft and comfortable, with a more composed presence.

When to choose sartorial fabric: choose sartorial fabric gloves when you want a non-leather accessory that still reads as elegant and considered. Ideal with wool coats, blazers, tweed jackets, cashmere scarves and looks with a stronger tailored character.
