Glove Size Converter

Glove sizes come from hand circumference at the knuckles. The US and UK use inch-based numbers while Europe uses centimetres directly — this converter aligns both.

How to use this converter

  1. Measure around your dominant hand at the knuckles, excluding the thumb.
  2. Record the measurement in centimetres.
  3. Read across for US, UK and EU glove sizes.
  4. For leather gloves choose the snug size; they stretch with wear.

Why sizes differ between countries

Size labels come from national fit blocks developed decades ago from different population surveys. The US and UK use garment-based numbering, most of Europe derives sizes from body measurements in centimetres, and Japan, Korea and China use their own regional standards. Because no global standard exists, matching your measurements to the chart is always more reliable than matching the label.
