Repairing Machine-Stitched Gloves, in Too Much Detail
What this video IS:
- long, exhaustive, potentially tedious
- a look into what repairing gloves involves
- a note on the importance of maintenance
- a look into some commonplace processes involved in the making of leather gloves
What this video IS NOT:
- a tutorial / follow-along / lesson
- short
In this video, I repair, or more accurately remake, a pair of vintage leather gloves. This is as complete a repair as it is possible to do. During the video, I explain why it is often futile to repair objects, as either it will take too long to justify the cost of repair, or it is difficult to repair them because of their very construction.
I have repaired many pairs of gloves: the most common of which is a simple replacement of the lining. This is not only straightforward, but it is a financially sound decision as the cost to do so is less than the cost of a new pair of gloves. I have replaced whole fingers on gloves, I have replaced cuffs and repaired areas where the stitching broke. But I have never entirely remade a pair like this.
Hand-stitched gloves are, by and large, more expensive, but far, far, FAR easier to repair. I will be making a video soon showing me making a pair of hand-stitched gloves, where I will go into why in more detail.
Please do let me know what you think, and I hope you enjoy watching the video more than I enjoyed repairing the gloves...

Prototyping a Heavy Suede Jacket
มุมมอง 8K3 ปีที่แล้ว
This video shows a short overview of some of the steps I took to make a suede leather jacket. I used a vintage pattern from Kwik Sew, called the '460 Men's Western Jacket', which I bought online. The pattern included several paper components with folding lines to accommodated several chest sizes. This took some trial and error, as the pattern was intended for fabric such as denim. Using 1.5mm s...

They were made for a specific customer's hand size. Driving gloves are usually unlined, light gloves with perforations on the top panel for air circulation. Good grip on the palm side is important.

Measuring Hand Size

Bespoke Glove Sizing Of the many inputs needed to make a personalised and bespoke pair of leather gloves, the most important is the size. The best method to ensure a perfect fit is to trace your dominant hand as shown, marking all the key areas. Your ‘glove size’ refers to the circumference of your hand just below the knuckles, in inches. Traditionally this would have been measured in French In...
Hand-Stitched Leather Gloves - An Overview
มุมมอง 124K4 ปีที่แล้ว
There are many steps involved in the manufacture of hand-stitched leather gloves. Once a customer's measurements are taken, a skin is selected. This step is vital for proper-fitting leather gloves. The hairsheep skin is stretched before and after sectioning, to put the stretch into the leather. The gloves tranks are cut in such a way that the cuff of the glove comes from the spine of the animal...

    Nice gloves! How does using a bone folder to mark your pattern leave enough of an indent to actually see what's going on? Also , why do you stretch the leather before you commence? I like your stitching pony tip with the little slots to pass the needle through. I'm guessing you don't need any stitching holes with leather that thin? Sorry for all the questions but I'm new to leather craft and I want to start making gloves too. I'm currently at the "bag, belt , watch strap and wallet" stage. Cheers from Montreal Canada.

      I'm a bit confused by this comment. That is exactly what this video is - when people request that I make them custom gloves, the only inputs I need are the hand circumference/glove size and a tracing of their hands to check their finger lengths. It's as easy as that, so that's what the videos shows. I send this video to people to show them visually what I need them to send me. Are you confused by this video? Were you expecting more? The title of the video should have demonstrated what you're seeing. It's like watching a video of someone measuring their chest size for ordering a shirt. Did you think this video would show how to make a glove template or something? Sounds like this is an issue with mismatched expectations. I can't help you there.

    Hi! These look beautiful. I’m new into leather crafts and was interested in making my own gloves. I have a couple of questions. 1) It looks like your stitching pony has teeth that guides your stitches. Can I make this glove using a regular stitching pony and using saddle stitch? 2) What kind of leather did you use? Is it chrome tan? Thank you!

    Hi do you have a tip for folding the corners so they are clean and rounded? I have some pretty thick suede 2mm (not sure what it is in oz) but not sure how to fold them cleanly and flat.

    • @skinnerdesignsca
      @skinnerdesignsca 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah, totally - 2mm is very thick (same as what I used here). I had to use a bell skiver from the workshop of a peer who lives close by. I skived the leather down to half thickness (1mm thick) - the depth of the skive was about a half inch deep. This was fine and it worked, but it was REALLY delicate after doing that, because suede has no grain and will tear easily if it's too thin. Hope that helps. I wouldn't recommend skiving by hand - too difficult to do evenly, but you could try it

    Can you tell me the recommended thickness and temper for a suede coat and a jacket

    • @skinnerdesignsca
      @skinnerdesignsca 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      This is a good question, I feel like I'm not all that qualified to answer it based on this jacket but I'll do my best. I used a thick suede, about 2mm or 5 ounces thick. At places where there was a seam that was folded over, I skived it down to 1mm thick. I think a better thickness would have been 1mm or 2.5 ounces, because this jacket was really, really stiff. On the one hand, this is great once it was broken in - it felt bulletproof. But I think it was slightly overkill. You make a good point about temper: sometimes it matters more than thickness. I would recommend a softer temper for a jacket. However, I've seen some amazing thick jackets made out of horsehide which look pretty stiff. It's all about whether you want to invest time to 'break in' the jacket.

    Why do you stretch over a table as opposed to like a glass slicker, or other methods? Is that to prevent burninshing, or glossing? And where can I find a stitching pony like that?! My new favorite tool I never knew I needed.

    • @skinnerdesignsca
      @skinnerdesignsca ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Andrew! Good question - I have never tried one of those glass slickers, but as far as I'm aware they're for smoothing/slicking the surface of the leather, not necessarily for stretching out the grain (I could be wrong). I see people using them a lot when they're, for example, putting a new finish on some leather or smoothing out the fuzzy grain on the back of a piece of leather. In my case, I'm using the edge of the table to help my get enough force to pull the actual grain of the leather apart as much as I can - I want the grain 'loosened' up and stretched because it's essential to fitting the glove. You'll notice on garment-grade skins that when you do that, they just go back to their shape (like elastic) instead of staying stretched. Glove-grade skins stay stretched. Hope that makes sense! I had my glove pony made by a local blacksmith. I showed them picture of one I saw in a glove museum in Germany, so that helped me find dimensions etc.

      Good question. These are called points. They are a remnant from when the glove pattern was made up of three components at the top of the hand, stitched together down the length. The three long pieces were replaced with one-piece 'tranks' or 'tranqs' and now the points are purely aesthetic
