Long Black Leather Gloves

Our long black leather gloves are elbow-length sheepskin, roughly 17.7 inches (45 cm) overall, made to tuck under a coat sleeve so no bare wrist meets the cold. Inside is a soft knit lining. They are a winter glove first, and a 1920s evening accessory whenever you need one.

Black Elbow Gloves Under a Winter Coat

With three-quarter or wide coat sleeves, short gloves leave a gap; these close it. We wear them with a black wrap coat and a cloche hat for a December theater night, or with a belted trench on a cold morning commute. The knit lining keeps the inside smooth against the skin.

Sizing Your Long Black Gloves

Measure around the knuckles of your writing hand, thumb tucked away. S/7 fits a 7-inch (17.8 cm) palm, M/7.5 a 7.2-inch (18.4 cm) palm, L/8 a 7.5-inch (19 cm) palm and XL/8.5 a 7.7-inch (19.6 cm) palm. Length grows slightly with size, from 17.5 to 17.9 inches (44.5-45.5 cm). Above-the-elbow pairs sit in our opera gloves.

Long Black Leather Gloves FAQ

Are these opera gloves?

No. They reach the elbow, which makes them an evening or winter length; opera gloves go higher up the arm.

Can I wear them with a sleeveless dress?

Yes, for a sleek gauntlet effect with a cocktail dress, though a sleeveless gown usually calls for something longer.

How do I keep the leather soft?

Store them flat, away from heaters. If they get wet, let them dry slowly at room temperature, then flex the fingers gently.
