How we check every glove

Every Ten Fingers order is inspected by our own team in Faisalabad, against the sample you approved, before it ships.

Inspection to AQL

We sample every lot to ISO 2859-1, General Inspection Level II. The lot size sets how many pairs we pull, and the result is measured against three acceptance limits. Before production starts we agree with you, in writing, which faults count as critical, major or minor.

0
Critical defectsAnything unsafe or unusable. One fails the lot.
2.5
Major defects, AQLOpen seams, wrong size, holes, missing cuff.
4.0
Minor defects, AQLLoose threads, small marks, uneven trim.

Five checks before a carton ships

    Count, blend and weight are checked on arrival, and lots that miss the spec go back.

  2. Seamless knitted glove from the line

    Supervisors pull gloves through each shift to check gauge, stitching and cuff.

Size chart

Our standard sizes follow the hand sizes in EN ISO 21420. Send your own chart and we make to it. Knitted gloves stretch, so we also fit them by gauge and weight; heavy 7 gauge gloves run slightly larger.
