The history of gloves production starts in one of the oldest neighbourhoods of the city, known as 'Sanità'. This tradition has lasted now for over two centuries and saw its golden era under the House of Bourbon. It's exactly during this time that the oldest gloves factory was born. In 1923 Gennaro Squillace found Omega Srl, led today by Alberto Squillace, fifth generation maitre gantier. Omega production counts with a limited number of items each year to always guarantee the highest attention to details. Our creations are made with the finest leathers such as plongé lamb, peccary, carpinchos and deer and lined with pure silk and cachemire from Biella that provide our clients with the highest quality of the Made in Naples. It is not by chance that the greatest house of haute couture in the world are Omega's affectionate clients. The entire production process, including the tanning, the colouring and the treatment, belong to the craft tradition since the Romans times, and is conduct at the foothills of the Vesuvius, under the close supervision of the Squillace family. Whereas, the cutting, the sewin and the quality check are carried out in our Atelier located in the historical gloves' maker neighbourhood. Despite its minimal aspect, the procedure to realise a single glove counts no less than 25 production stages, each carried out strictly by hand by masters with 'lifelong' experience in this area of expertise. The history of sizes Each hand shape is different (wide, tight, square, tapered etc.) and each hand can have particular fingers length. That's why is so important to know how to find your real size, and here are some tips for you. The unit of measurement for gloves sizes is in French inches, and one inch corresponds to 2,7 cm. Imagine that this measure derives from the twelfth of Charlemagne's foot! To find the gloves size, just take a tape and measure the width of the palm along the entire circumference. Once you have the length in centimeters, you can easily divide by 2.7 (the French inch) and that's it. The procedure is the same for women's and men's sizes, try it on your hand! Below, you can find a list with all the correspondences from centimeters to gloves size :
