Buy them in person, any good glover will fit you for gloves just like shoes. If that's still no good, buy tailored or bespoke.

Ah yes, the glover. Just up the street between the wheelwright and the scrivener.

I have hard-to-fit hands so I'd appreciate a referral to a good bespoke glover. They don't seem to be too common in Silicon Valley.

If you ever come down to Los Angeles there's a number of options (even after you exclude the glove stores that are more focused on specific niches e.g. leathery fetish stuff)

Thanks for the idea! I found this place online:

They have a 'fit kit', which might be enough to get a comfortable, working pair of gloves.

I own about half a dozen pairs of gloves. All fit well, according to their function. It really isn’t that hard.

Plenty of outdoor brands make excellent gloves. Yes, they might come with silly logos and ridiculous colours. But they keep your hands warm.

I, too, am apparently made from the same mold as standard large-sized gloves. Or extra-large, if they're Asian.

Not everyone is, however, and if you aren't, you're basically out of luck.

Works for some I suppose. I have long fingers. It's hopeless.

And aren't most outdoor brands elastic? Not good especially in the cold, where it constricts blood flow.
