The Top Men's Glove Brands

When it's cold outside, you don't want to skimp on the necessities. And, when you think about it, what is more, important than gloves when winter begins to bite? What appears to be a wardrobe luxury can be an extremely comfortable accessory as well as an outright sartorial power move.

So, whether you're looking for technical fabrics and serious insulation, or something sleek and refined, here's our pick of the best brands for the humble mitt.

Dents

Consider Dents to be the glove equivalent of Northampton shire shoemakers: built on craftsmanship, long-standing heritage, and a quality guarantee. Since 1777, the brand has been producing the finest Leather gloves in the UK, and His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales, awarded it a Royal Warrant in 2016.

Each of the brand's hand-cut and stitched gloves is made in up to 32 stages and takes up to eight hours to make, using premium-grade leather combined with unique materials optimized for comfort and use. Dents' Lando leather embossed glove, for example, is made of hair sheep leather and allows you to use your smartphone touchscreen while maintaining the style and comfort of a classic driving style.

Barbour

The Northumbrian brand excels in the outdoors, imbuing each of its pieces with an authentic countryside aesthetic. Its gloves are no exception, ranging from utilitarian leather styles to more substantial woolen designs made from tough Donegal yarn. There are also neoprene and insulated options for outdoor sports and more difficult walks.

Consider a pair in signature Barbour tartan for something instantly recognizable.

London's Aspinal

It's no surprise that Aspinal of London produces some of the best leather gloves on the market, given their talent for creating beautiful things out of the hide. Whether you want to channel your inner Ryan Gosling in Drive with some traditional driving gloves or experience pure luxury with a cashmere-lined pair, the brand caters to every type of gentleman. A true investment that will give you your money's worth.

Hestra

From their Swedish headquarters, Hestra has been developing and producing the finest gloves for the past 80 years. The company has always been family owned and operated, and its expertise has been passed down from generation to generation. Today, Hestra is a one-stop shop for gloves that will keep your hands warm on an Arctic expedition while also making you look good while walking around town.

Gucci

Piana Loro

Loro Piana is a world-renowned textile and fashion brand with a commitment to quality that was founded in 1924.

Cucinelli, Brunello

Brunello Cucinelli is at the pinnacle of the luxury glove market, where a pair will set you back well into the three figures. The Italian brand's unlined 100% cashmere rib knit gloves are dripping in opulence, with a reinforced suede palm, and are crafted from the finest yarn money can buy, produced in the hamlet of Solomeo, Italy.

Arc’teryx

Arc'teryx, which you're probably already familiar with thanks to its excellent range of technical jackets and outerwear, sits on the outdoors-oriented side of the glove spectrum. This preference for GORE-TEX, fleece and advanced materials extends to its gloves, with the brand's line of moisture-wicking liner gloves that work with your smartphone being a highlight.

The North Face's official website

Outside, but make it fashionable. That's all The North Face. Advanced clothing that will get you up and down a mountain while also getting you compliments on the street. Its gloves are no exception.
