===Leather glove linings=== {{Unreferenced section|date=November 2016}} * Cashmere is warm, light in weight, and very comfortable to wear. Cashmere yarn comes from the hair of mountain goats, whose fleece allows them to survive the extreme weather conditions they are exposed to. * Silk is warm in winter and cool in summer and is used both in men's and women's gloves, but is more popular in women's. * Wool is well known for its natural warmth and comfort, as well as having a natural elasticity. * Other linings, which include wool mixtures and acrylics. ====Component parts==== The component parts that may be found in a leather dress glove are one pair of tranks, one pair of thumbs, four whole fourchettes, four half fourchettes, two gussets, and six quirks. Depending on the style of the glove there may also be roller pieces, straps, rollers, eyelets, studs, sockets and domes. Finally, linings will themselves consist of tranks, thumbs and fourchettes. ====Stitching==== The most popular types of leather glove sewing stitches used today are: * Hand stitched, which is most popular in men's gloves and some women's styles. Hand stitching is a very time-consuming and skilled process. * Inseam, which is mainly used on women's gloves, but occasionally on men's dress gloves.{{clarify|explain or link inseam to explanation, current target for [[Inseam]] is not helpful |date=September 2020}} ====Some glove terms==== * ''Button length'' is the measurement in inches that is used to determine the length/measurement from the base of the glove thumb to the cuff of the glove. * ''Fourchettes'' are the inside panels on the fingers of some glove styles. * ''Perforations'' are small holes that are punched in the leather. They are often added for better ventilation, grip, or aesthetics and can be as fine as a pin hole. * ''Points'' are the three, or sometimes single, line of decorative stitching on the back of the glove. * ''Quirks'' are found on only the most expensive hand sewn gloves. They are small diamond shaped pieces of leather sewn at the base of the fingers, where they are attached to the hand of the glove to improve the fit. * A ''strap and roller'' is used to adjust the closeness of the fit around the wrist. * A ''Vent'' is the V-shaped cut out of the glove, sometimes at the back, but more often on the palm, to give the glove an easier fit around the wrist.
