Maille gloves
Sir Ulrich:
Well my mittens arrived. I think they're a size too big for me, considering returning them for a pair thats small. This is size medium, maybe I should put some linen padding inside them then that will make them fit me better? I dont know where to begin, they're NOT bad quality mittens and they're unlined, just a bit big.
Sir Ulrich:
Allright I returned the medium pair and exchanged it for a small. Fits me perfectly, working on the maille as we speak, I practically have ONE done already if I connect the pieces I should be good. Only issue is the thumbs, how to connect them. When it comes to sewing I am using waxed thread. The mittens I got happen to be deerskin so they're very soft and sewing the maille to them would probably be easier than the hard leather of the gloves.

Awesome, things are much easier when they fit properly from the start. Congrats.
