Cashmere Lined Leather Gloves: Why the Lining Matters
Cashmere lined leather gloves are the warmest everyday glove you can buy: the leather blocks wind and light rain, and the cashmere inside holds heat without adding bulk. In our designer gloves edit, the strongest example is the Nour Hammour Wrislet suede glove in Chocolate, a short suede pair lined in cashmere.
Key facts
- The warmest everyday leather glove
- Silk lined gloves are thinner and suit city wear
- A lining takes up room: between sizes, take the larger one
- Never wash lined leather gloves
Cashmere, silk and unlined
Cashmere lined gloves are the warmest and the best for real winter. Silk lined gloves are thinner and slide on easily, which suits city wear and driving. Unlined gloves are the closest fit and the most elegant, best kept for milder days and evenings.

How they should fit
A lined glove should feel snug across the knuckles, with no spare leather at the fingertips. The lining takes up a little room, so if you are between sizes, try the larger one. See our glove size chart for how to measure.
Care
Never wash a lined leather glove. Dust the leather, let wet gloves dry flat at room temperature, and take stains to a leather specialist. Our guide to cleaning leather gloves has the details.
How we chose
Every pair here is in stock at Coveti at the time of writing. We picked on the quality of the leather and yarn, the cut through the fingers and how well each glove works with the coats people actually wear, and we name the brand, material and colour of each so you can compare like for like.
Frequently asked questions

For a cold winter, yes: the leather lasts years and the cashmere lining keeps your hands warm without bulk.
Should I size up for lined gloves?
Only if you are between sizes. A lining takes up a little room, so the larger size is the safer choice then.
