The 12BL most probably stands for “12 button length”. Long Gloves are often measured in terms of buttons. It doesn’t mean that there are actually 12 buttons, it was a kind of unit of measure for gloves in the past. Quoting the website “operagloves.com”: “Approximately 18 to 19 inches long, this type of glove reaches up to and just over the wearer’s elbow. Known as “elbow-length” in common parlance”.
The most common length for Opera Gloves though is the 16 button length (which is equal to about 23 inches long).
