Historical Leather Gauntlets with Cuff – Black Calfskin
Elegance and Functionality for Fencers and Cavaliers
These gloves were designed with an emphasis on historical fidelity and practical use. Their construction is based on the fashion and functional trends of the Early Modern period and Baroque era. A key feature is the wide cuff (gauntlet), which effectively protects the wrist and forearm from abrasions, inclement weather, or glancing blows during light sparring.
These gloves are the ideal choice for:
- Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA): Excellent for technical exercises, drills, and training with lighter weapons (rapier, smallsword, dagger), where fine motor skills are crucial.
- Re-enactment: The perfect accessory for Musketeer, officer, or cavalier costumes from the English Civil War or Thirty Years' War period.
- LARP and Cosplay: A versatile accessory for rangers, hunters, or adventurers, adding a touch of authenticity.
Warning: Although leather provides basic protection against abrasion, these are not certified protective gear for full-contact heavy weapon fighting (Buhurt, steel longsword). For such activities, we recommend using these gloves only as an under-layer beneath plate or mail gauntlets, if the fit allows.
Properties of Natural Material
The product is made from genuine calfskin. This natural material is prized for its softness and durability. Please note that leather is a natural product. Small scars, irregularities in texture, or slight colour variations are not defects but proof of the material's authenticity and hand craftsmanship. Dyeing is done using natural methods; therefore, the final shade may vary slightly from the photograph depending on the original tone of the skin.

How to Choose the Right Size
To ensure the glove fits perfectly, it is necessary to measure the circumference of your hand correctly. Bear in mind that the dominant hand (the right hand for right-handers) is usually slightly larger.
Measuring Instructions: Use a tape measure to measure the circumference of your hand at the widest point (across the knuckles, excluding the thumb) while keeping your hand closed in a fist. The tape should not be too tight, nor too loose.
| Hand Circumference | Corresponding Size |
|---|---|
| 17 – 19 cm (approx. 6.7" – 7.5") | 6 |
| 19 – 21 cm (approx. 7.5" – 8.3") | 7 |
| 21 – 23.5 cm (approx. 8.3" – 9.3") | 8 |
| 23.5 – 26 cm (approx. 9.3" – 10.2") | 9 |
| 26 – 28.5 cm (approx. 10.2" – 11.2") | 10 |
| over 31 cm (over 12.2") | 11 |
Care for Leather Gloves
To maintain the softness and longevity of the leather, we recommend treating the gloves regularly. Never wash them in a washing machine and do not dry them on direct heat sources (radiators, open fire), as the leather could crack and harden. Wipe off dirt with a damp cloth and, once dry, apply a high-quality leather balm based on beeswax or lanolin. With proper care, they will look great for many seasons.
