I'm finding that locally, off the shelf, you just can't find a decent leather glove, driver type but rough finish, don't mind the smooth either but prefer the suede or brushed finish. I don't mind paying a premium either, its something I use constantly.
The problem I find is either the seams come apart, had you a sewing machine for thick material and leather you could repair easily, or the darned material has thin areas, is weak and rips in just a few hours IE; Carhart gloves from TSC, I will be returning a 3rd pair of these only after 2 hours use, being I can see the store from my house, its no big deal, I'll take a credit for something else, as these are worthless. They are made in China, and is probably the worst I've seen of a product from there, one that literally is defective on the shelf. I've stayed away from those gray inexpensive gloves you can get in bundles and anything similar.
Question is, does anyone know of a quality manufacturer of uninsulated, leather gloves that don't come apart?
And of course, I do not use them, around oil, grease or similar, just work, like firewood, handling chains and driving the tractor, most of the winter I do not need an insulated glove unless its really cold.
