unlined gloves.

Any suggestions for makes of unlined black leather gloves please?

The obvious choice is Dents or Chester Jefferies. I tend toward CJ gloves, but did pick up a pair of very acceptable black unlined Dents from Darcy Clothing (a theatrical costume website) for little more than beer money.

Vmills, I too would go for CJ, as they have never disappointed. Perhaps this is an oppurtune moment to discuss the glove wardrobe. I live in the mid-Atlantic U.S. and find that perhaps 6 pair work well and see me through the cool weather months quite comfortably. All are unlined as dress gloves should be. Four pair are in various shades of brown. One pair is yellow, a favorite of the Regency buck, which I really like but rarely wear. One pair is grey suede which I prefer over black and IMO is much more gentile. If your gloves are for more formal occasions, then I would advice a dark grey suede but still distinguishable from black. Just like grey flannel, women love to touch grey suede and I'll take all the help I can get.
