Available Colors
These men's leather gloves are made in Japan by Buzz Rickson, a militarywear-focused brand under Toyo Enterprises renowned for its vintage-inspired craftsmanship. As part of Buzz Rickson's U.S. Army Air Forces collection, this model is a modern reproduction of the Type A-10 gloves, originally issued in 1938 as standard winter flight gear for U.S. Army Air Forces pilots. Expertly crafted with the brand's signature attention to detail, it captures the authentic features and rugged character of classic American military equipment while offering comfort and versatility suited to modern everyday wear. It blends seamlessly into today's casual style, bridging heritage aesthetics with contemporary practicality. The fabric of these gloves consists of a supple seal-brown horsehide shell, fully lined with wool knit for superior warmth. They feature tube-knitted ribbed wool wrist cuffs with triangular reinforced leather tabs on the palm side, authentic painted military markings on the back of the hand, and vintage-style construction details such as three functional pin-tuck seams across the back of the hand to minimize leather stretch, precise stitching around all five fingers that requires advanced sewing techniques, and a woven spec label sewn inside wool ribbed wrist cuffs. These men's leather gloves are available in four sizes: 8, 8 1/2, 9, and 9 1/2. This new original release from Buzz Rickson expertly combines vintage military aesthetics with the brand's renowned attention to historical detail.
Gender: Men's
How to Choose Your Size
To find your correct glove size, measure the circumference of your dominant hand just below the knuckles, excluding the thumb. The measurement in inches corresponds directly to your glove size.
Step-by-Step Measuring Guide:
1. Use a soft measuring tape or tailor's tape.
2. Wrap the tape around the widest part of your palm, just below the knuckles (do not include the thumb).
3. Keep your hand relaxed and avoid pulling the tape too tightly.
The measurement in inches will match your glove size as shown below:
･Hand circumference 8.0 inches = Size 8
･Hand circumference 8.5 inches = Size 8 1/2
･Hand circumference 9.0 inches = Size 9
･Hand circumference 9.5 inches = Size 9 1/2
If you are between sizes or prefer a slightly looser fit, we recommend choosing the next size up.
