Custom made gloves

[Bullwinkle]

Can anyone recommend a company that will make small custom made leather gloves to the same quality as BKS?
I am really desperate to get a pair that actually fit me right and BKS couldn't help me... :(

Hideout made me set a long time ago, I haven't seem any of their MTMs in recent times - no harm in asking though, and Hideout offer excellent levels of service.

Thanks Sid. Lets hope I have more luck with them than with the others...
:cry:

Seems odd that BKS couldn't help (I rather fancied some made to measure gloves, so was considering them) - what restrictions are there?

Oh, hang on, you're not related to Anne Bolyne are you?

I got two-piece leathers from Hideout and they're brilliant with super service. Would thoroughly reocmmend them.

why couldnt BKS help?, do you mean they just wont make them so small? or they wont make them small and cheap?

crowtree make some nice ones, and i think celtic leathers in Ramsey isle of man make them too

I assume you have small hands? Have you tried Racer gloves? They are a little pricey but are excellent and do very small sizes. I have problems finding gloves small enough for me and I've got a pair of winter and summer Racer gloves that fit me perfectly.

Infinity keep 'em in stock as do quite a few dealers.

No - BKS said that to make my size (5.5), they would need to invest in special equipment and the cost would not justify the amount of orders they get for gloves that 'small' - hence they couldn't do it.

It's a shame but I have got in touch with Hideout and they can help me so all is not lost! :):)

Kate - I shall look out for those Racers as a girl can never have enough gloves...:)
