Palm measurement

It will be impossible to find out the size of the hand for gloves without measuring the palm. So, you need a regular meter tape, which you should measure the girth of the brush, without taking into account the thumb, the dominant hand (for the right-handed person - the right, for the left-handed person - the left).

Important! The volume of the hand that writes is larger than the volume of the other, so it is worth measuring that particular hand.

Measurement should be carried out in the widest part - at the base of four fingers, slightly bending them. The obtained value in centimeters is the starting point for determining their number.
