Gloves, mittens and scarves: Elmer, Barts and Nike
Gloves and scarves include wool gloves, lined gloves, mittens, running gloves and winter scarves.
Barts or Elmer winter gloves keep your hands warm in the city; mittens, which are warmer, are worn in very cold weather, and Nike gloves are made for running.
Elmer gloves and mittens: Teddy, Antler and City Pro
Elmer Teddy and Antler gloves, Elmer City Pro mittens and Elmer Teddy wool mittens lead the selection for winter. Mittens are warmer than gloves, since the fingers keep each other warm.
Barts gloves: Haakon, Witzia, Storm and Powerstretch
Barts Haakon, Storm and Powerstretch gloves and Barts Witzia women's gloves, from the Dutch brand based in Amsterdam, match the brand's beanies and scarves. Women's gloves are chosen to match the beanie.
Sports gloves: Nike Swoosh and Endurance
Nike Swoosh 2.0 gloves and Endurance Corbia mittens are worn for running or exercising outdoors in winter. Choose thin running gloves to keep feeling in your fingers.
How to choose your gloves
Measure the circumference of your hand, below the knuckles, in centimeters, then compare it with the guide on the product page. Choose the material according to use: wool for the city, lined gloves for very cold weather, touchscreen gloves for using your phone. Touchscreen gloves save you from taking your gloves off outside.
Gloves or mittens
Gloves leave your fingers free to hold a phone or keys; mittens, where the fingers stay together, are warmer. For children and very cold weather, mittens are the warmest. Fingerless gloves, which leave the fingertips free, are worn in cool weather.
Gloves, scarves and beanies: the full selection
Scarves and beanies complete the gloves, and accessories also include bags and small leather goods. A matching beanie, scarf and gloves set makes a great winter gift.
Winter scarves: Deeluxe and Barts
The page also features scarves, like the Deeluxe Enzo scarf, to wear with gloves in the same color. A winter scarf is tied snugly around the neck in very cold weather.
Caring for gloves
Wool gloves are hand-washed in cold water and dried flat; leather gloves are cleaned with a damp cloth and conditioned with a cream. When wet, gloves should dry away from a radiator: wool felts in the heat.
Leather gloves, ski gloves and fingerless gloves
Leather gloves, lined with wool or cashmere, are worn with a coat in the city and develop a patina over time. Ski gloves, waterproof and padded, come up over the wrist to keep the snow out. Fingerless gloves, open at the fingertips, leave your hands free to write or hold a phone.

Frequently asked questions about gloves
How do you find your glove size?
Measure around your dominant hand, below the knuckles, excluding the thumb, and compare with the guide on the product page. If you're between two sizes, the larger one leaves your fingers room to move.
How can you use your phone with gloves on?
Use touchscreen gloves, whose fingertips are conductive, so the screen registers your touch. Regular gloves don't work on a touchscreen.
Which gloves for very cold weather?
Choose mittens or lined gloves, with a cuff that tucks under the sleeve of your coat. A thin liner under a lined glove adds warmth.
How do you wash wool gloves?
Wash them by hand in cold water with a wool detergent, without rubbing or wringing, then dry them flat. A tumble dryer felts wool.
Which gloves make a good gift?
Wool or touchscreen gloves in a neutral color, matching a beanie or a scarf, make a good choice. For a child, mittens are easier to put on.
