Ladies Leather Gloves

Women have coveted the soft, silky textures of ladies leather gloves for aeons. Although wearing these treasured accessories went out-of-vogue for a time, today the industry is once again booming. Best of all the styles, designs, and colours have never been more extensive.
Gloves are an excellent accessory to enhance the look of any ensemble while making a fashion statement, they also serve a practical function in that they protect hands from exposure to harsh environmental conditions. By ensuring hands are well-protected while enjoying the breathability and feel of fine leather products, an individual will know that they look good while remaining protected from conditions that can make hands age prematurely.
Winter wear often requires a little more substance. The beauty of soft leather in chocolate or black with fur trim provides the warmth required while ensuring an individual remains in-vogue. Sometimes the designs associated with various styles make all the difference. Contrast cable stitching, keyhole with cashmere lining, those that are embossed, and many others provide the perfect accessory to meet any need while ensuring the wearer remains warm when exposed to severe weather.
The best leather gloves are made from table cut best quality skins. Table cutting is a skill and an art. After carefully examining each individual skin to see the particular amount of natural stretch, the leather is pulled up length ways and widthways to ensure that a fixed and measured amount of stretch is cut into the leather across the width but not in the length. Then the Table-Cutter will cut the gloves accordingly. The skill is to remove the natural, variable stretching of leather and to replace it with a custom amount. This ensures gloves give gently widthways but not lengthways, so you don't get overlong glove fingers every time you pull off your gloves!
Gloves made from leather that is not table cut may feel inflexible and can stretch out of shape very quickly. Unfortunately the majority of inexpensive gloves on the market are made from non-table-cut leather as it is a much cheaper, unskilled way to produce a pair of leather gloves.
