Kidskin gloves are worn by men for formal affairs. Much like chamois gloves are as well. After rereading this topic -hoping to find a more extensive answer to my question- I must ask you gentlemen: What gloves are worn by gentlemen for which occasions?

My warmest welcome also to Messrs. Kabbaz, Ambrosi, and Colban. I am especially surprised to see the name of Monsieur Colban in the list of Certified Artisans, just a few days after I was at Charvet for the first fitting of my first :!: bespoke shirt commission. It was a most pleasurable experience ...
