Gloria, Truffle and Signature Leather Gloves

Dr. Gloria Apati-Nagy

I met Tim of Signature Leather at the GB PRE event 2025.

My sister and I walked past the Signature Leather stand, and as soon as he saw us, he couldn’t help but ask: “You two look so much alike, am I right in guessing you have the same parents?” A surprise question out of the blue that turned into an hour-long conversation…

I was due to go on a riding safari to South Africa and needed some decent gloves for riding that were a neutral colour and were not going to be too warm to wear in the heat and that were comfortable bearing in mind I would be riding for several hours a day…

Anette Ringnes - Norway

"I had a great weekend, both horses placed in their classes on Sunday and I am now back in Scotland to enjoy the very pleasant surprise of my new gloves! They are truly stunning, and the leather feels great!"

Bryony Holloway

"I have been wearing Cabretta Couture's Winter riding gloves for four years, now, and they have proved to be a total life-saver!"

Caton Bredar - KY

"I received both the grey and the blue gloves and wore them through two days of ugly, cold weather at the Breeders' Cup. I want you to know how well they served me...both in terms of warmth and grip. The grey gloves, in particular, are the envy of everyone. Fashion statements aside, the gloves are equally comfortable and durable and allowed me to ride and interview with confidence through two cold weather days of world class horse racing."

Christina Grieve - Hemel Hempstead, UK

"Many thanks for the red silk liners for my new winter riding gloves. This was taken on Boxing day after a chilly hack. I'm still smiling because I have feeling in my fingers!"

Edward Creamer

"I rode in my new gloves today and they are fantastic ... already the envy of my clients!"

Gail Robinson Mead - Orinda, California

"Signature Gloves are the best – lightweight yet incredibly durable. Mine have lasted for years (and I have a horse than can be very heavy in the bridle). I only sought out another pair to make sure I have a set to wear while the others are in the wash"

Jennifer Dietzel - Imlay City, Michigan

"I got the gloves today. Thank you SO much! I LOVE the pop of emerald green around the cuff!! Hopefully this weekend will be warm enough to ride and I can get a picture or two of my new gloves in action!"

Jo Monck - Isle of Wight, UK

"The gloves arrived, they are absolutely beautiful, thank you so much They are to match a Portuguese riding costume I had made up in Cascais in Portugal in June, hopefully to wear in Parades and Carnivals, the gloves match perfectly and finish the outfit off perfectly. "

Katherine Stevens - Sussex, UK

"The gloves were amazing as it rained and usually when rain is combined with sweat my reins get so slippery, I was able to keep hold of the reins all the way round the course. They really were out to the test with Kitch as he always sweats buckets as he gets so excited! Thank you for such a lovely pair of gloves which do their job amazingly!"

Kimberlee Murphy - KY - THEN

"Wanted to get you some feedback on the gloves - Great news - I'm impressed!! I saved them for a 3 day clinic I had this past weekend in Lexington KY (May 1 - 3). Rode dressage, steeple chase and XC - and no blisters!"

Kimberlee Murphy - KY - NOW

"Ive had the pleasure of riding in Signature Leather gloves for over 15 years, after a chance meeting with Tim at the RK3DE back in the day, where he generously gifted me a pair of gloves if I promised to provide feedback! Needless to say, i've been a BIG fan of this company ever since. I have ordered riding, target shooting, fashion, and combined driving gloves, for myself and as gifts, and i'm ALWAYS impressed with the craftsmanship and customer service! These gloves hold up, perform, and are an elegant touch to any outfit! So cheers Signature Leather to 20 years!!"

Kris Story - NJ

"Happy New year! Just wanted to drop you a note to let you know how delighted Nancy and I are with our new gloves! The new Digital Leather you are using for the palms is so grippy - much improved over the last winter gloves. The cashmere lining is so warm - we've had two big snow storms in the last week and the temperatures are not supposed to be above freezing for the next several days, so I'm glad I've got the warmth!"

"I just wanted to let you know that I received the gloves in the mail last night. They are spectacular! I took them to the farm and got lots of “oohs and ahhs” from the girls so I let a few people try them on. I have to tell you, I LOVE the gloves. Not only are they really comfortable and soft, but the wide array of color options makes them perfect for me." Photo by Cerella Chandra

Lottie Williams - Cheshire, UK

"The gloves really are great and incredibly hard wearing and the opportunity to personalise the gloves into something completely unique from the wide range of colours is something I've not seen offered anywhere else."

Nanette Lindermann - CA

"I have really enjoyed my Signature gloves! It is wonderful to have gloves that fit so perfectly on my somewhat odd sized hands. And the leather still feels so lovely, even after a number of washings. I'm off to study the color charts! 🙂 "

Sarah Donnell - MN

"I have been using my own pair of crochet gloves throughout the show season - I love them. They stay soft and supple and I love the fit, feel and look of them. And they appear to be holding up to the brutalities of the jumper ring."

Sheri Trudeau - MI

"One of the things I would emphasize to eventers is how grippy your gloves are. That soft leather on rubber reins is just terrific... they don't slip, even if they get wet. And... they don't wear out like the cheap synthetic ones, either, so they're good for schooling as well as showing (even if they're a bit pricier to start... they last longer). The leather is also so supple and the fit is so good, you can still really feel the rein contact during dressage."

Sophie Adams

"I am absolutely over the moon to work with you and I genuinely love your gloves! For me, functionality is really important. I need to be able to ride 8 horses a day pretty much every day of the year, and keep my hands comfortable and warm. These absolutely do the job. And they are beautiful as well!"

Susan Bebee - SC

"I found Signature Gloves to be exceptional in both comfort and fit - the fit and feel of the gloves allows me to keep my fingers closed snug on the reins providing a more steady true contact with horses mouth. Better connection = better performance!"

Tara Ziegler - PA

"Love your gloves, and they are holding up well. I will be out competing again in 2 weeks and am excited to wear my new gloves xc!"

Stacey Kimmel-Smith - PA

"Signature gloves give me a soft, secure feel, and I love the color and style options. They have held up far better than comparably priced gloves."
