    As someone who makes gloves by hand, I can say that $75 is not a ridiculous price. They are probably either lambskin or deerskin, the former being a very very thin and stretchy (good for fit) material. Deerskin comes in varying thickness, but thinner skins create less bulk within the fingers of the gloves. Unfortunately, this thinness will not insulate as well from cold or heat. Cowhide suede is the better choice for that use (although very bulky and stiff to wear). Sheep shearling makes great warm mittens, but is not good for work gloves. This leaves using an interior insulating glove from wool under a deerskin outer glove - or using a synthetic material. Many less expensive gloves are synthetic with cow hide patches in the palm and fingertips. As someone who also loves the woodsy look, I go with the double layers of wool under slightly thicker deerskin. This allows for some dexterity while retaining warmth. However deerskin scorches easily so I switch to cowhide gloves for things such as repositioning a hot stove pipe. (I will add here that pigskin is another thin and stretchy option, with similar qualities to deerskin.)

    You can hold your gloved hand over an open flame for a few moments and the leather of your glove will conform to your hand. Anywhere your glove is "loose" on your hand focus the flame momentarily and the leather will conform. Obviously this method is not for the faint of heart and after you've done this flame shrinking treatment immediately treat the leather gloves while you're still wearing them with a leather conditioner. It is an old lineman trick I learned in general construction as a young apprentice lineman while working at Pacific gas and electric. I still use thisethod with every new pair of leather gloves. I have most recently used it on my deerskin leather Churchill gloves I bought for riding my Harley. I also use it on the leather portion of fire retardant work gloves I use as a lineman.

    I buy really nice gloves from Walmart/Sam's Club that are made from goatskin. I thought they were a little pricey at about $10 - $12 per pair, but now I can see that they are a bargain! I love the gloves, because they conform to the size and shape of your hands, they are good for handling firewood, and they are good for handling hot pots and pans from the open fire. The durability is only a few months, but I feel that is sufficient and about equal to the price!

    Another company you can look at is Straight Grain Supply, Ashville, NC, the make what they call the "Axe & Chore Glove" glove. You can get made from either Buffalo or Elk with a Buffalo palm patch. Just got a pair of the Elk, have not got a lot of time in them yet. Seem very well constructed and may be something you would be interested in, not cheap though 82.00.

  • @BRENDANTHERED
    @BRENDANTHERED 5 лет назад +2

    Dont forget, for anyone skeptical of the amount on that price tag... you get what you pay for. I've just started buying more expensive work gloves, in the 30 to 50 $ range, and I'm happy to report that it's been worth the extra expense. Way more comfortable, and they'll last easily twice as long as cheap stuff.

    • @nowakezoneforever6021
      @nowakezoneforever6021 3 года назад

      I hear what you’re saying and agree with it except your math illustration. If a $30-$50 pair of gloves only lasts twice as long as say, $15-$25 gloves, then there’s no monetary benefit.

  • @thriftysurvivor6117
    @thriftysurvivor6117 4 года назад +3

    One question worth asking might be, will these gloves outlast three or four pairs of regular working gloves? I know you can find a lot of under $20 gloves that will last quite a while. With most of the sub $20 leather gloves I've used, it wasn't the stitching that wore out, but I eventually wore through the leather itself. Now admittedly I do a lot of working with rope with my gloves. Allowing rope to slide through your gloves with tension on the rope will eventually wear through even the toughest leather. That being said, if I can pick up 3 pairs of $15 to $20 gloves that lasts 1/3 as long as a single pair of $75 gloves, I still come out ahead. Just my opinion. I really don't need a whole lot of dexterity to swing an axe, pull weeds, working with cordage or tend to a camp fire, which are the main reasons I wear leather gloves. Just my two cents.

    Nice gloves. I think I remember going to their site once and $75 was like one of their lower end models but still too expensive for my taste. I have an old pair of hand me down leather gloves with the red liners in them, the palms are black as night but the seams are all still tight and show hardly any wear and tear from normal outdoor use and I've had them about 3 years and my brother had them for I don't know how long before me. Wish I could find a brand name on them but it has long since disappeared.

    These gloves fit so well I am able to use them for carving and woodworking. My skin is dry so I need the protection, but most gloves don’t fit well enough to give me the control I need. The Hestra Skullman gloves do both for me. I use my cheap gloves for work around fire. I agree with Dan, they are too thin. You can find them cheaper if you shop around.

Made entirely of waxed elk split leather and sewn with fire retardant thread. The waxed elk split leather provides good protection also against heat making it suitable to be worn around a campfire. "

    No way, $75 not happening. A little rock work will make them like your favorite gloves, fingerless gloves. I pick up the cheap leather gloves at my local store, test fit them on site, then wear them wet to dry and they end up fitting your own hands pretty decently for about $12 and I don't have to worry about ripping holes in the fingers. If they have a cord around the wrist all that much better, and you can hook mini beanah to the strap. If no strap I punch a hole with the leather punch in the wrist area and tie a loop of string for hook to belt thing.

    Those gloves really don’t look like they fit you at all Dan. Your knuckles are way too far from the start of the fingers on the glove. Is anyone else seeing what Im seeing? I might have to call a bit of BS on those gloves being worn by you for the last 3 years.

    Like a pair of Whites boots, you measure your foot and calves and Whites will make your boots fit like your gloves 👍👍
