What is the Best Leather for Work Gloves?

Lets take a couple minutes to discuss the differences in leather materials when it comes to work gloves. Pig vs cow vs goat vs deer. What might be the best gloves for your job?

I tried on some deer skin gloves the other day. They feel so NICE and supple. Yes, they are more expensive, but I almost got them just for how good they feel. I have a feeling though that they will not hold up as good as cow, but I could be wrong. It just seems like as soft as they are they won't be as tough and wear resistant. When you work with wood a lot that's kind of the main feature you want, is wear resistance.

I've done a little research on leathers and am by no means an expert. From what I have read the larger the animal the thicker the hide. So one would think they are more durable, but not necessarily so. Utility workers need gloves that are highly resistant to cuts, punctures and abrasion. I've noticed most of these gloves are made of either goat or elk leathers. Goat is one of the thinnest, but also one of the strongest due to it's tight grain. It also provides good dexterity, which they require as well and is fairly water resistant due to the lanolin content. Welding gloves tend to be made of heavier leathers like cow, elk, and buffalo. I know pig leather is supposed to be breathable, moisture resistant and have good abrasion resistance as well, but it's more porous and open grained I believe. I'm not a fan of cow leather in general. From my experience they don't last long. My gloves eventually get wet at some point and then they become dry, stiff and brittle. They also wear through in the fingers very fast handling material like firewood or stone. Maybe the ones I'm buying are thin junk leather. I don't know, but they come from a farm supply store and cost $15-$20 a pair. I quit buying them and have been using White Ox cotton work gloves. They are a third to half the price and a far better glove from my experience for this type of work. As far as leather gloves go. I think a person better plan on spending around $30-$35 and up if they want a quality leather glove. I've never got much life out of those "hardware store" ones myself. If cared for, a quality leather glove should last nearly a lifetime IMO.

[@QuadCitySafetyInc]

I don’t disagree with much of anything that you’re saying here. The only exception would be that any skin should last a lifetime. If they’re being used in most industrial applications, then they will eventually wear out no matter what you do. Thanks for all the info and watching our video!

[@XAVargasX0206]

Nice video, seems like goat offers great dexterity and good abrasion resistance as well. Deer is nice but you can't really work with them especially with wood.

Thanks Alex!

I just picked up some deerskin gloves made by Stihl for when I’m cutting wood in my backyard for the fire pit. They feel a lot more sturdy than the wells Lamont cowhide gloved I got at Walmart which were good until I was stupid and picked up a brick that fell in the fire and it stiffened one of the fingers and when I flexed it the stitching broke. So it was totally my fault but these feel really comfy

[@QuadCitySafetyInc]

Deer skin is very nice. Do your best to keep them dry and you should be good to go. Thanks for watching!

[@ConcasicoWoodworks]

I have been looking at some Vgo deer skin gloves for woodworking and what I'm most interested in is the resistance to abrasion when sanding, because the finger tips will begin to tear at the sewing. Are they a good option because of the thickness?

[@QuadCitySafetyInc]

Pig would be the best for abrasion. Deer will give you more dexterity and provide a softer feel. Is there any reason that you need to use leather? If not there are probably better solutions out there for woodworking. Reach out to [e-mail] if you want to tell us more about your tasks and we can help get you into the right hand protection.

Im doing construction with concrete and domilition i bought milwakke gloves but they tore up fast

[@QuadCitySafetyInc]

You want to pay attention to the coating on the gloves and the abrasion resistant rating on the gloves. I don’t know a ton about which Milwaukee glove that you were using but my guess is that if you just grabbed a pair from the hardware store that they may have not been the right glove for the job. If you need some help reach out to [e-mail].

[@escapetherace1943]

cheap and beater glove? = cowhide. Also good for reaching into fire because you don't care about beating it up. cheap'ish but longer lasting, remains soft but very resistant? = goat best dexterity/comfort and also long lasting? = deer Honestly goat is probably the best performing in the overall longrun especially price, it's just got the flexibility of deer but costs much less and lasts as long if not longer. If you don't care about money deer's fine though

Thanks for your feedback!

I just bought a pair of MidWest outdoor gloves there for wet or dry surfaces and durable, haven't try then on yet but will soon, hop you have any reviews on them kind of items. Take care.

[@QuadCitySafetyInc]

Matthew, thanks for commenting. We have videos on quite a few different work gloves. I’m not as familiar with Midwest outdoor gloves if that’s a brand. Appreciate you watching our video and please let us know if we can answer any questions.

In my experience, pig skin is virtually indestructible compared to the others, even cow. Deer skin sucks and it’ll tear within weeks. Goats probably the most well rounded.

You’d like to watch him pick up items while wearing leather gloves? I don’t think that adds much via video. If you’re looking for dexterity then leather probably isn’t the best material. Thanks for watching the video!
