FAQ

You’ll find your glove size by measuring the circumference of your preferred hand at the widest point (without your thumb) using a measuring tape. The measurement must be in centimetres.

Divide your measurement by 2,7 to get your exact glove size in French inches.

If your calculated size is e.g. 7,15’’ you round off the number to the nearest size, as your gloves should rather be a bit too tight at first, as it adjusts to your hand when in use.

The joy of the perfect fit is essential:

Your gloves should feel a bit tight the first time you wear them. Gloves are like a good pair of jeans: They will adjust to your exact shape as you wear them.

Each and every RHANDERS glove is uniquely made by hand according to classic craftsmanship traditions, therefore in a few cases, there may be variations in the sizes.

If you choose a glove such as HELENA, HELENA HEART or HECTOR HEART, we recommend that you go up a size for maximum comfort.

OS = One-Size
Several of our popular RHANDERS gloves are available in a one-size version.This design allows the glove to fit different hand sizes.

See each product for specific information.

RHANDERS gloves are made from natural materials, and most of our gloves are made from lamb leather and nothing else. Our leathers are carefully chosen, and we surveil the entire crafting process closely. 

Get to know all of our materials in our Materials and Techniques section.

Our gloves are hand-sewn using sewing techniques used in our glove atelier for centuries. RHANDERS are particularly famous for using the delicate and difficult sewing technique; full piqué. Full piqué sewing is a special technique that allows the leather to lay flat against the fingers and thereby enhances both fit and comfort compared to the much cheaper sewing technique with inside seams.

Since 1811, RHANDERS has been designing gloves. We are happy to accommodate your wishes for a unique pair of gloves. The process itself lasts between 3-9 months depending on model development, skin and type. It costs approximately 3 times the price of a glove we have already produced.

To ensure your leather gloves have a good long life, they need love and care:

We use aniline leather of the finest quality, your gloves therefore cannot withstand any kind of treatment, impregnation or wax. In fact, it can destroy the leather's breathability if applied to the surface.

Use only a dry cotton cloth to polish the glove.
Store your gloves flat (not crumpled) protected from heat and light - or in your car's glove compartment.

We have collected our best advice on how to extend the life of your gloves. Read more about DAILY USE & MAINTENANCE

Avoid using your leather gloves in rainy weather, and if you fancy a snowball fight, we recommend that you protect your gloves with a SOFTSHELL COVER, which, in addition to being windproof and water-repellent, is soft and warm and made from a reflective textile. Use the softshell mittens as they are or as an extra layer for your leather gloves.

We believe in repairing and beautifying rather than replacing.

One of the most responsible choices we can make as a brand is to create quality products that last for decades.

We help replace a seam, iron and prepare your gloves for the next season, or change the lining for a new lease of life. We even offer to find a new mate for your gloves should you lose one. As a new innovative offer, we can also treat your gloves with an antibacterial treatment, which gives you and your gloves extra safety.

If you lose a beloved glove - even after a few decades - you can buy a replacement. See which gloves HERE. We have also added a GPS to some of our gloves, so you can find the original again.

With roots dating back to the 13th century and officially established in 1811, RHANDERS is the world's oldest existing glove factory and celebrated its 210th anniversary in 2021.

The glove factory was founded in Randers by O.C. Kellermann with the desire to revive the city's world-renowned glove production.

Since 1811, the company has been in the hands of just 4 families, with the most recent family running the glove factory through 3 generations and still contributing their expertise in production.

Since 2019, a new family has begun the next step in the history of Randers Gloves with the aim of bringing the award-winning brand forward via the timeless quality products in the RHANDERS collection.

Find out more about RHANDERS' history HERE

Though there has never been a company called Randers Handsker, "Gloves from Randers" or "Randers Gloves" ("Randers Handsker" in Danish) has for centuries been labelling the popular gloves originating from Randers.
The “Randers Handsker” label is still being lovingly crafted today. It is the original glove brand – known for its unchanged quality, fit and craftsmanship for more than 200 years.

Armed with a mission of safeguarding and innovating 800 years of honoured gloving and leather craftsmanship, the new owners updated the company’s name to RHANDERS in 2019. A name with deep roots in heritage and history. Firstly, to legally protect and trademark the brand and secondly to rebuild the premium lifestyle brand.

Today, RHANDERS has revived its atelier production in Denmark and is known for the finest craftsmanship in gloves, bags, belts, scarves and knitwear - and is taking the first steps in revitalising the clothing collection, responsibly crafted in Denmark according to the original values, traditions and artisanship.

RHANDERS has supplied gloves and leather goods to Royal families for centuries.

Since 2000, the company has carried the title Purveyor to the Royal Danish Court. To this day RHANDERS continues to proudly glove Her Majesty Queen Margrethe II and Crown Princess Mary as well as the entire royal family.
Likewise, RHANDERS continues to design and make gloves for the Royal Navy, the SWAT team, the police and the Royal Life Guard.

At RHANDERS, we focus on the responsible use of our textiles and raw materials through reuse, reprocessing and recycling. At the same time, we never destroy or discard old or defective goods. We ensure that all scraps are recycled in our own atelier.

The basis of our craftsmanship is the materials we work with, and we always choose the most untreated, natural and ecological options we can find - aniline leather, wool, cotton, and peace silk.

Naturally, our packaging is made of plastic-free FSC-certified material.
