Youngstown for leathers

Another vote for Youngstown. Widely accepted for lineman.

I been using Wells Lamont for as long as I remember. Good balance between cost, durability and dexterity.

My favorite - Kinco Hydro Flector water-resistant grain buffalo driver with double palm. Style: 387P. They last me quite a while building barbed wire fence. But, I keep extras on hand because they don't last for ever. For me, they are a good balance of wear, comfort, and price.

(I hate that about the time a pair of gloves gets good and broke in, they start getting holes...kind of like jeans and boots.)

I have exactly the same problem with leather gloves from local stores not holding up to wood splitting chores. In the western states the stores carry real leather gloves for men who do real work. These are what I now use and they hold up for me spectacularly: Golden Stag Iron Fencer (style 207). When I need a new pair I buy them on line. The entire palm and index finger area has a 2nd layer of leather. They do run small. I'm not a big guy and XLs fit me perfectly. Like any leather glove you want to last, get them wet, let them dry and treat with Sno-Seal before use.

I've used a lot of the Iron Fencer gloves too. I like them, but take a little longer to break in.

Bareback and calloused usually but Kinco genuine buffalo hide seem to hold up OK. I always inspect stitching and the length of thumb and pinky on gloves, I despise extra length pinky and thumb material.

This is my go too as well.
I do buy Mechanix but mostly for in the shop.

I wear leather gloves running the saw, but have started taking them off when handling the wood (that's what she said). Grabbing logs & split pieces really seems to tear them up fast. Putting some leather conditioner/waterproofing seems to help get a little more life out of them.

Kinco are great especially for colder weather.

I’ve had the same pair for over a year and a half and have done everything with them and using them just about everyday. You won’t find a glove that works harder and fits better.

Thanks all, ordered some iron fencers to try.

Watching this closely. I cut and split 13 cord a couple weeks ago and couldn’t get a full day out of leather gloves. Must have burned through 7 pair. The finger tips were the first thing to go.

These are the shit. Best work gloves ever made. I wear mine riding (horses) as well.

Ya I love em. They have an insulated glove that I use riding when I’m gathering my cows in the fall or when I’m glassing late season. They have me for life.

I agree Murdoch Buffalo gloves are great. Yes, they will wear out from handling a lot of firewood, but they are way better than anything else I've tried. Bonus is they are relatively cheap.

I'm personally a big fan of milwaukee nitrite work gloves. I hate wearing gloves but we're required to wear them at work every day and I don't like bulky gloves. Best of all they are cheap and pretty durable. You may not look super cool wearing them but I'm a function guy and they definitely do that.

 

[Phaseolus]

stop buying the same brand gloves? A basic yellow leather glove from HD usually gets lost before I wear them out

I have at least 7 pairs of left handed gloves

Same goes for handling shingles. I'll ask my boy if he ever found a glove that lasted. ( ex roofer)
