Gloves have been around for centuries and they're meant to protect your fingers and your hands from the cold and from outside influences. A hundred years ago, men would wear gloves a status symbol and so oftentimes, you'd see gentlemen wear white gloves that they could change six or seven times a day to display their wealth. Same was true for lighter colored gloves and the whole glove culture was much more developed.

Hand or machine sewn
Generally, hand sewn gloves are used for textured leathers like peccary or Carpincho versus thin hair sheep or lamb skin leathers are sewn by machine.
Formal events also call for machine sewn gloves and the way you achieve this neat look is actually by sewing them inside out.
Machine sewn gloves are maybe a bit more durable because the stitches are closer together and it's less expensive to produce gloves that's why the majority of gloves are made that way.
-If you want something special and unique, go with a hand sewn kind but in general, every man should have at least one pair of machine sewn gloves for formal events, maybe in a darker color like grey or one pair of hand sewn gloves for more casual outings.

Lining
A hundred years ago, unlined gloves were really popular and I still love to wear them during in between seasons; during spring and fall because when it's not too cold, not too warm, your fingers aren't going to sweat but you still have some layer of protection and it looks really elegant.
The majority of all gloves you see today are lined. The reason for it is that it keeps you warmer at the same time, it makes the gloves look a little more bulky so if you want the most elegant gloves you can get, get a machine sewn glove that is unlined.

Closure system
Most men's gloves today come with side slits that's easy and expensive to produce. Sometimes they also go with a elastic and you can sometimes find snap buttons or maybe even buckles but that's usually more common for women.
Traditionally, very elegant gentlemen would only wear button gloves because they would sit close to the wrist, they would work with french cuffs and barrel cuffs and they would just look more elegant in your hand.

Details
First you want to look at the points of the gloves, that's usually those three seams at the back of a glove, it's very traditional, it looks great and the more detailed and intricate they are, the more likely it is that you have a high-quality glove.
look at the piping and the seams. Are they straight? Are they crooked? Are they neat? The neater and finer they are, the better your glove will be.

Quirks
Quirks are these little diamond or triangular shape things in between your fingers and you can see here that it's just an additional piece of leather that facilitates moving your hands.
It makes it much more comfortable to wear your gloves and therefore, all Fort Belvedere gloves have this feature. If you see gloves with quirks, you can comfortably buy them because chances are it's going to be a high-quality glove.

Glove colors
In the 1930's, elegant men would wear grey gloves because they are much more versatile, it provides a nice contrast with your outfit but you can wear them with black, charcoal, navy, green, grey and many other colors.
Also, if you want to stand out from the crowd, having a color in grey or maybe burgundy red or chamois yellow really helps you to create something unique that people will see and it looks really tasteful and elegant.

Fit of the glove
As you know there's a saying "It should fit like a glove" but what exactly does it mean? Please see our separate video about glove fit and sizing.
