Formula
Size Range = circumference in inches matched to standardized size chart
EU Size ≈ circumference (in) × 2.54 (cm)
Example: Hand circumference 7.5" → Size 8 (Medium). EU size ≈ 7.5 × 2.54 = 19 (size 8 EU). Finger ratio indicates standard finger length.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I size up for lined gloves?
Yes. Add about 0.5" to your circumference for thick linings or wear the liner while measuring.
What if my size falls between two numbers?
For stretchy fabrics, round down for a snug fit. For rigid leather or work gloves, size up for comfort.
Do men’s and women’s gloves use different sizing?
Many brands use the same numbers with different labels. We provide both equivalents to help you cross-reference.
Can I input centimeters?
Convert centimeters to inches by dividing by 2.54. You can also multiply the circumference in inches by 2.54 to get the EU size directly.
