Good question: the overall circumference of your hand at the knuckles is your 'glove size' - and dictates which overall template I use - it's measured in French Inches, or, failing that, normal inches. So, for example, my 'glove size' is 8 1/2 " - so I'd use my 8 1/2 template and make amendments/tweaks from there. Hope that helps
@@skinnerdesignsca Thank you so much for the insight! I've been designing custom gloves for myself and for the most part it fits me, but I wanted to learn how its traditionally made and this video was a great tutorial, again, thank you so much for the insight.
ABSURD. All you do is wrap a tape measure around your hand below your fingers excluding your thumb to get the measurement. All this nonsense drawing your hand on paper is goofy.
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.
fascinating seeing how other lefties write
Great video tutorial but I gotta ask, what's the purpose for the knuckle/hand diameter?

To build on this: measure from your dominant hand: it's usually a little bigger

@@DEL8TE Thanks. Not meant as a tutorial, but if it helped, great. Good luck with the gloves!
