Welcome to Ines Gloves' Friends of Elegance Canada!!

Greetings to all my fellow leather glove lovers, and welcome to Friends of Elegance Canada!

My name is Erin, and I live in Ontario, Canada. I stumbled upon Ines Gloves while searching for a unique pair of fashionable black leather opera-length gloves to wear with a coat I had purchased. As luck would have it, I treated myself to... My sensual past elbow gloves! Never before had I slipped my hands into something so comfortable and luxurious, very much like a second skin.

 

 

Like all who visit this blog, I share a love for Ines leather gloves! Please check back here often for my weekly Ines Gloves' Glove of the Week feature, as well as a variety of informative, fun, and interesting articles... many with a unique Canadian twist.


Yours in elegance,

Erin

3 Tips when choosing leather gloves

You are ready for it! You want to buy a nice pair of leather gloves, but before you decide which kind of gloves suits you best, its worth reading this.

When choosing a pair of leather gloves you have to take some things into account:

1. Choose the right material. Which kind of leather do you prefer? Are you going to wear this gloves to protect your hands from the cold winter or are you planning to wear them as a fashion accessory.

2. You need to choose the right fit for you. Gloves are meant to be a bit tight when you put them on. With time the good quality leather gloves adapt to the shape of your hands, just like a second skin. It's important that you can be able to close your hands and wiggle your fingers.

3. Gloves must have a good stitching. The best stitch is called the pique stitch: when piece of the glove overlaps the other and it is stitched that way.
