Glove Sample Inspection: Fit and Workmanship Checklist

Inspect glove samples as matched pairs tied to an identified model and material configuration. Separate fit, construction and appearance observations from laboratory or protective-claim review. A sample can answer one development question while leaving another unresolved; record that distinction before approving the next stage.

In this guide

Identify the pair before checking workmanship

• Model reference, revision, size and colourway.
• Palm, back, lining and cuff materials represented.
• Temporary components or deviations from the brief.
• Left/right differences intentionally specified.
• The hand reference and review movements to be used.

Review in a consistent sequence

Mark the location and conditions of any problem rather than sending a broad comment that the glove feels wrong. Retain photographs with the sample identity and distinguish a requested design change from a difference against the current specification.

Close comments with an explicit status

Use accepted, revise or conditional decisions and identify what evidence will close each open point. If a material or lining changes, ask which earlier fit conclusions need another review. Workmanship approval should not be described as confirmation of untested protective suitability.

Mistakes to avoid

• Inspecting only the most attractive sample hand.
• Approving a sample without recording temporary materials.
• Sending contradictory comments from different reviewers.

Prepare the next decision

Return one consolidated pair-inspection sheet with marked locations and required actions. Keep the accepted reference and revisions together before authorizing the next sample or production configuration.
