Politics to Travel to The Opera, There’s a Glove for Every Occasion
Posted by Pierotucci in Fashion and Color, Leather Accessories, New Designer Handbags, Pierotucci on November 15, 2012
You know that old saying, “It fits like a glove”? Well, my question is, which glove? I have discovered this saying to be a bit misleading. On my recent quest for gloves I was trying to figure out what style, size, and length would suit me best. No one told me about this oh-so-clever measuring system that is unique to gloves called button length. Button length is an antique French unit of measuring glove length. One button is equal to just slightly over an inch. Typically button measures start at the bottom of the thumb to the top of the glove. With this measuring system in place the glove itself will always be about 6 inches or so longer than button length. Having uncovered this new measuring system I also found that gloves can be a number of lengths, much more than the two or three I thought existed.
2 Button – These gloves, also referred to as “shorties”, are typically wrist-length and just barley hit the tip of the wrist measuring 8 to 9 inches.
4 Button – Similar to the 2 button, these are 10 to 11 inches and cover the wrist, coming slightly over the forearm.
4 Button Length Gloves
6 Button – This gloves length usually falls about mid forearm reaching 12 to 13 inches.
8 Button – Also known as the “three-quarter length” glove, the 8 button is 14 to 15 inches and comes all the way to the upper forearm.
12 Button - Measuring about 18 to 19 inches in length, this is the first size that reaches just over the elbow, hence the reason it is also referred to as “elbow length”
16 Button – There can be no mistaking this glove length, it is the classic opera glove that measures 22 to 23 inches finishing more or less at mid bicep.
21 Button – The longest of them all is the 27 to 29 inch set of gloves that fully covers the arm from top to bottom. These gloves are more traditionally worn with sleeveless or strapless dresses.
What is Kidskin Leather?
Posted by Pierotucci in Italian Traditions and Culture, Leather Care Tips, Pierotucci, Product Reviews on November 13, 2012
Kidskin is skin or hide that comes from goat. This type of leather, as you can probably guess, typically comes from the hides of baby goat, also known as kids. Kidskin is often used due to its well-rounded features, including its adaptability, durability, suppleness, and the fact that it is impressively light weight.
Like calfskin, kidskin is considered to be a higher quality leather and this is generally reflected in the cost of its leather products. Because kidskin tends to be a bit lighter in weight than calfskin while remaining a very strong material, it is often used for a number of leather items. This allows the leather to be quite flexibile and can be used to produce just about any type of leather clothing or accessory. However, it is most commonly used to make women’s and men’s leather gloves, boots and women’s shoes.
In fact, kidskin and leather gloves have a long history with each other, dating back to Victorian times. WiseGeek.com writes,
In the late 19th century, elbow-length opera gloves made from kidskin were an elegant alternative to shorter glove styles that only reached the wrist. These soft leather opera gloves became an important and popular component of lady’s formal wear, reaching their peak of popularity during the Edwardian era. In modern times, gloves made of kid leather are usually worn as winter outerwear rather than formal wear, but they continue to be popular with both men and women due to their warmth and soft, supple texture.
Of course, with any leather item there is special care that accompanies it to help ensure a long and lasting lifespan. Like most types of leather, kidskin should be placed and kept in moderate temperatures to avoid areas with extreme dryness or humidity. Doing this will help the leather keep its natural look and texture over time and reduce the possibility of the skind cracking. To upkeep and clean your kidskin you can dust off the leather, if necessary with a soft, dry cloth. The item can then be cleaned very cafeully with luke warm water. In addition, you can use a leather cream and conditioner. Once you have treated your leather set the item and leave to dry naturally without covering.
