Fownes Black Leather Gloves Size 7 1/2

A timeless accessory from one of the most historic names in glove making.

The Brand & Its Heritage

Fownes is one of the oldest glove manufacturers in the world. The company was founded in 1777 in Worcester, England, and later expanded to the United States in the 19th century. Fownes quickly became known for producing finely crafted gloves using high-quality leathers and traditional glove-making techniques.

By the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Fownes gloves were widely regarded as luxury accessories and were sold through major department stores. Their gloves were worn by both men and women as part of everyday formal attire—at a time when gloves were considered an essential component of a well-dressed wardrobe.

The Style

Classic leather gloves like these became especially popular during the mid-20th century, when streamlined silhouettes and smooth leather finishes reflected the elegant tailoring of the era. Even as gloves became less common in everyday fashion after the 1960s, brands like Fownes continued producing refined pieces valued for both practicality and style.

The clean, minimal construction and supple leather make this pair a versatile example of traditional glove design.
