Sizing conventions vary by brand and by cut — this table shows the standard published conversion. Always check the garment's own size chart when one is available. See how these tables are compiled.
A US size 8 glove (measured in inches around the palm) converts to a EU 20 on the standard chart, since European glove sizing is simply that same palm circumference expressed in centimetres rather than inches.
Glove fit is unusually sensitive to material — a leather dress glove and a knit glove at the same labelled size fit very differently — so the palm-circumference figure itself, measured directly, is more useful across brands than the converted size number alone.
Frequently asked questions
Does glove size convert the same way regardless of material?
The size number converts the same, but fit doesn't — a stretch knit glove and a structured leather glove at the same size feel different on the hand, so material is worth checking alongside the size.
