ABOUT OUR GLOVES

We are justifiably proud of the quality of our gloves. True product experts, we carefully oversee every step of the design, material selection, production and finishing process to ensure that the end product meets our exacting standards. Only the best quality skins are used to make the premium leather that quality gloves demand. All Southcombe’s styles are individually cut by skilled craftsmen to ensure the very best possible fit, the pieces are then passed to the sewing department for assembly. Whether sewn by hand or machine the process can appear complex with a minimum of sixteen separate cut pieces per pair to assemble but this is all part of making the perfect pair of gloves.

BRITISH MANUFACTURING

These craftsmen and women are involved in the production of many of the glove styles presented on our website.
