Frequently Asked Questions

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 fabrics. Both are jacket-grade wools, not knitwear yarn.

How are wool gloves different from knitted ones?

Knitted wool stretches and slouches with use; tailored wool gloves keep their structured cut. The fabric is bonded to the inner lining inside the seam, so it doesn't slip or bunch. The fit at month twelve is the fit at month one. Constructed like a leather glove, not like a sock.

Are wool gloves warm enough for winter?

Yes for transitional and moderate cold (above 0°C). Wool insulates by trapping air between fibres; the bonded lining adds an extra layer. For deep winter (below -5°C), cashmere-lined leather offers more insulation per millimetre.

How do I care for tailored wool gloves?

Brush off lint and dust after wear. Spot-clean only with a damp cloth on plain water; dry-clean if needed. Avoid washing or soaking, which can reshape the bonded lining. Store flat in a cool dry place.

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 Wool Gloves

Tailored, not knitted

Wool gloves cut from Vitale Barberis Canonico (Biella, founded 1663) and Holland & Sherry (Savile Row) fabrics, hand-stitched in Naples. Constructed like a leather glove rather than knitted: structured shell, bonded lining, shape-retaining seams.

Why these mills matter: VBC has been weaving Italian wool since 1663, supplying Savile Row and Naples for over a century. Holland & Sherry is the wool of British tailoring, defining the standard for jacket fabric. Both produce material engineered for shape memory rather than stretch.

Shape over softness: Knitted wool gloves stretch and slouch; tailored wool keeps its line. The glove sits on the hand the same way at month one and month twelve. Lining is bonded to the inner side, no slipping or bunching.

When wool over leather: When you don't want leather, period. When the look is fully tailored and a leather glove would feel too dressed. When the pairing is overcoat and scarf rather than peacoat and boots.
