Fit challenges exist for performance glove users, because the methods of collecting anthropometric hand data and glove patterning have not been updated in unison. This paper will demonstrate a new method to draft a better basic performance glove pattern block from more relevant hand anthropometric data. The method may be used by product/industrial design educators, professional designers, patternmakers and manufacturers to develop better fitting and functioning gloves.
