Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right size Kew Gardens gauntlets?

Measure the circumference of your hand around the knuckles, excluding the thumb. Kew Gardens gauntlets typically range from small (190-215mm) through to extra-large (265mm+). A proper fit should feel snug but allow full finger movement without restriction.

Are Kew Gardens gauntlets suitable for professional landscapers?

Absolutely. Whilst designed with the heritage of botanical gardening, Kew Gardens gauntlets meet the demanding standards required by professional landscapers, groundskeepers, and arborists who need reliable thorn and puncture protection throughout their working day.

How should I care for my Kew Gardens leather gauntlets?

Wipe off soil and debris after each use, and allow leather gauntlets to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Periodically treat with leather conditioner to maintain suppleness and extend the life of your gauntlets.
