How to I know what size rodeo glove to buy?

 

Measure the width of open palm without a glove on - fingers together and thumb sticking out.

 

BULL RIDING (Deer Skin) Gloves:

 

NOTE: Average measurements accross your palm:

 

3"-3 1/8"  - 7 glove

3 1/4" - - - 7 1/2 glove

3 1/4" - - - 8 glove

3 3/8" - - - 8 1/2 glove

3 1/2" - - - 9 glove

3 5/8" - - - 9 1/2 glove

3 3/4" - - - 10 glove

4"     - - - 10 1/2 glove (Not available in many styles)

 

Typically if you measure around the thickest part of your palm (measuring around it) a person with a palm that measures approx 9 inches or so will wear a size 8 to 8 1/2 glove. This is for a fairly tight fit. If you prefer a looser fit order a larger size. Of course a lot just depends on how tight you like your glove? Some folks wear their glove very tight and some wear it loose and all degrees between.

 

For a BAREBACK (Steer Hide) Glove, the sizing is as follows Measuring accross your palm:

 

3 1/4" - - - 8 1/2 glove

3 1/2" - - - 9 glove

3 3/4" - - - 9 1/2 glove

4"     - - - 10 glove

4 1/4" - - - 10 1/2 glove (not avilable in all styles)

 

Bare in mind that these are averages and NOT exact measurements. Rodeo Gloves are hand made and as a result each is not the same as the next. In other words if you have 3 gloves all size 8 they may vary in size from glove to glove just depending.
