Due to their simple design, these gloves easily adapt to different habits and tunic styles, making them suitable for both adult and young Nazarenes, always following the guidelines of each brotherhood.
Available sizes and how to choose your gloves
The gloves are offered in different sizes to ensure a good fit. The available sizes are: Children's / Women's / Men's. To choose the correct size of gloves for a Nazarene procession, we recommend: Check the guidelines from your brotherhood. Some brotherhoods may specify the recommended glove size or provide a guideline based on age or hand size. Check the fit across the palm. The glove should fit snugly but not constrictively, allowing you to comfortably close your hand to hold the candle or scepter without difficulty. Try them on with the tunic and the rest of the habit. Whenever possible, it is advisable to practice for a few minutes with the tunic, cincture, and candle to ensure that the glove does not shift or cause discomfort while walking.
