I am seeking advice about gloves. Firstly what colour pairings do gloves go with? Is it possible to be adventurous or should one stick to brown and black? Also where could I find a very tight pair of leather gloves? Fingerless gloves for shooting do not agree with me and a very tight (for enhanced sensitivity) pair would be great.

I have unusually shaped hands, and so spent ages tracking down decent bespoke gloves. I ended up ordering two pairs from Chester Jefferies, which I am very happy with.

I recall Sermoneta in Burlington Arcade having unlined leather gloves in various colours for a reasonable price, maybe you can pick up the range!
Damascus police gloves may fit the bill for shooting, they are available unlined and are a very snug fit (assuming you get the correct size). The leather is very thin so you have plenty of sensitivity.
Hello
What colour and type (material) of trousers best go with a dark navy blue pin stripped linen jacker, the jacket is a classic cut but for casual use, thank you Bernard
Pinstripes are very hard to wear as a separate jacket or trousers. Otherwise, all colours will be just as useful as with plain navy. Start with cream or tan
Hi Simon – I’m having a pair of gloves made (peccary with rabbit fur lining) and had asked the glove maker about quirks. His advice was that given the bulk of the lining, quirks would serve no purpose and should be reserved for unlined, silk or cashmere linings. Would you agree with this?
They would certainly have much less function, yes
Hi Simon, what are your thoughts on burgundy gloves in lieu of chestnut ones? I fall more under the class of an associate at a law firm, rather than the managing partner. My daily uniform is navy or gray slacks; black, brown, or burgundy Oxfords; and a black puffer jacket or navy overcoat, depending on the temperature. Could burgundy work–or would you say a chestnut-colored glove is better? As always, thank you for everything you do at P.S.!
With those colours, burgundy could be nice, yes.
