My son is 8; hands are average size; i bought the medium. it was huge; i exchanged it for the small. he couldn't get his hands in the small and the lining was interfering with finger placement. unfortunately, i had to return the small as well and have struck out here.Color is perfect for my kids’ Lands Ends coats. Big problem is that they struggle to get several of their fingers in the finger areas and have to really work the lining to get the gloves on. I had hoped it would get easier with time but I’m pulling the gloves off, the lining gets re-rumpled. Will try to add a couple of stitches at the top of each finger to secure tue lining to the outside. Shouldn’t have to do this but otherwise they’re not useful. I would have returned them, but I sewed them onto mitten strings before kids wore them. ?Purchase two pairs, the first pair got chewed up by our dog. Apparently she likes them too!They look nice, but the inner lining is so short that my sons fingers can only go into half of the finger part of the glove before hitting the inner lining. The lining is just way too short compared to the actual glove size. Definitely don’t recommend getting these unless you just want to send them back.
