How did you know I was just looking for work gloves!? I like the look and feel of goatskin.
I have the sixth sense! 😁
We can offer variety of work gloves, welcome to contact.
Great content as always.
I’ve been eyeing a pair of goatskin gloves recently and I’m glad to hear you think so highly of the material.
Love your reviews! Practical, and detailed, outstanding!
Tillman 864 Driver’s style gloves are my go to for most work. Nice cut deerskin. 24Cs for TIG welding and 750s for hot work. They’re all pretty well made and are affordable.
3:13 I was like “hey that sounds like they would be great for me when I’m flying” and then at 3:33 he actually says it! Carl, You know me too well :D
Hahaha yes I do apparently!!!
Hey Carl - I really enjoy your videos and also going back through your library. Keep up the great work!
I see that! Thank you man!
@@CarlMurawski hi is dis yer channel carl
Great video. Lots of info there. Thx!
Searching vids for work gloves that could tell me the diff between the leathers and help me choose what will fit for my application beat. Your the first n only vid I found without discouraging the internet for hrs. Thanks a lot!!
Thank you!
For motorcycles I suggest actual motorcycle gloves that have a hard part at the base of the hand. If you go down you tend to put your hands down and break a little bone in there called the scaphoid, right where the base of the hand meets the wrist. It has no blood flow and takes forever to heal.
Fully agree. If my motorcycle gloves aren't built to survive WW3 then its a no go from me.
Yeap I agree 👍
That hard part is also nice if you like having skin on your hands lol
Very informative, thank you
Just bought a pair of Elk lined gloves from Sullivan. They are amazing.
Revisiting this video and it is great! I've used deerskin for years as motorcycle and general work gloves around the house (I'm not in a physical labor job). What I didn't do was take care of them for the long term, but realized that they would last, wear, and patina like my boots and other leather gear. I've purchased from Sullivan and they are a good go to brand, but I'm trying to also support other small US leather companies.
Vermont glove. One of the best pairs ive worn
Great review! Good information. I love leather work gloves. There is something about the way they age and take on wear. I had no idea about all of the different leather types. I Just bought a pair of Cow hide Geier. Whish I would have seen this before that purchase. Anyways Thanks!
Carl, it would be interesting for youn to do a review the standard issue wildland fire fighting glove
i use the hestra skullman, i think they are goat skin, not positive, but they are awesome. last time i ordered them i ordered 4 pairs to keep me in gloves for a while. as a desk jockey i only need them for household/chicken chores and the like.
peccary or horsehide for me only. another great video!!
Update: not sure if you ever got to doing it, but i recommended the maroon bell gloves and after a year I can say the gloves are amazing. They fit so well and the gloves are tough. One pair is officially my work glove. Jeremy the founder has great customer service. Cant recommend his company enough.
as a tinbasher/hvac service tech i always buy deerskin gloves for the dexterity and warmth because the rubber handed gloves give you the most dexterity but in canada the winters get cold so i need warmth mixed with dexterity and it’s always a push pull battles
Great videos
Do you think moose leather is good for a pair of casual/work gloves?
I work with wood-firewood/spliting ect. And looking for a tough gloves cause the same wear and tear on tips.
I use a pair of Tillman 864L (a tig welding glove) but the only thing thats damaged them was a 80 grit flapper wheel
Those are badass welding gloves
Maroon bell buffalo leather gloves. $75..but soooo worth it.
Schaeffers Elk skin gloves are my go to. I use them around the house as well as at work as a bomb tech. They are durable, fit great, and are at the right price point. As a bomb tech i am not just concerned about damage to my hand but static electricity. Leather gloves prevent that. Check them out
What are the lined gloves lined with? Don't see that info on the website.
Kevlar lined frisk gloves are handy for picking up broken glass or shards of metal or what have you.
Good call!
FlamQ Dbltap Tnose thorns have a mild poison in them that will give you a headache and an upset stomach if you get stuck several times.
Hey Carl, is it possible that you could provide links and product information of the clothing you are wearing in the thumbnail for this video? Also, would like to thank you for all of your informative videos you have been able to help me out tremendously. Keep up the great work and all the best to you!
Hey man! Some of these things are out of production like that Carhartt hat, but the jacket is the RJ2 from Freenote Cloth, the pants are the double knee chore pants from Taylor Stitch, and the Boots are Jim Green Razorback. I think I’m also wearing a Kato flannel underneath too… it’s been a while!
Elk is great welding glove.
Might be interesting if you could share your picks, top to bottom, for motorcycling.
In my opinion, some people does not necessarily want to dress up like our fellow leather-clad dudes but also does not want to be seen like we’re gonna hit the track after lunch - we want that heritage look with a reasonable amount of safety on our hands.
Gloves 🧤
jackfordmac they are these things we put over our hands to protect them
FOX _ 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Lol
I get my Ridgecut gloves at tractor supply. Probably made in China but they are very comfortable for farm work
No idea you ride. Right on!
Hello there, is there any way to contact you? I have a question for you about IBEW. I know you are a channel for clothes, but I'm just getting ready to take my test for the apprenticeship school here in Washington DC. Local 26. My father retired from there after 40 years... I'm Old (36) to be an apprentice, but I miss being able to have something to show for the work I do.
How do you like that council tool axe?
Fyi, you can hand wash any leather glove thin enough to dry overnight, not just buck or elk. Put them on, don't use any soap if you can help it, and if you have to use a soap, get one with a lot of fat and oils so it doesn't dry out the leather. Then wash with room temp water like you're washing your hands, take them off and squeeze them out (no wringing) and then roll them up in a towel and squeeze again, then set them in a cool dry place on a towel in front of a fan to dry as fast as possible. Put them on when they're still damp to make sure they haven't shrunk too much, then when they're dry, stretch them lengthwise on the edge of a table, first the palm/back of hand, then each finger. Over time leather will stretch along the width of our hands because of the way our hand moves, so stretching them lengthwise will bring them closer to their original shape. Then moisturize them with your favorite leather conditioner.
I don't recommend doing this often, because each time you get any leather wet, it degrades slightly. Think of leather like beef jerky, it's dried "meat" and if it gets wet, should be kept cool and dried quickly to prevent bacteria and rot.
Thumbnail jacket?? Thank you!
The only glove that fits perfect for me is Tillman 1414m thumb fit has always been a big issue for my hands lol
Have you tried custom? I know Vermont Glove and Sullivan Glove offer custom jobs.
I got my self some ironclad Kong pro lasted only 2 weeks
Not sure if you’ll read this, but I recently bought me a pair of Buffalo leather gloves from Maroon Bell, out in Colorado. They’re supposedly really good quality. I’ll try and update once I get them in. Maybe you could give them a look.
I certainly will, thank you for the recommendation!!!
What would your choice be for camping, gardening, bushcraft, campfire duties in wet and damp environments? I was thinking cowhide but I'm now considering Goathide. Cheers.
Goat would be a great option especially with its cut resistance. You could also waterproof them before going to work.
@@CarlMurawski Wow!! Thanks for your quick reply. Yep Goatskin it is. cheers.
Please tell me about the denim jacket in your thumbnail..... I have seen it in your video, but cant find it now...
Oh yeah man, thats the FJ2 from Freenote Cloth. Its amazing!
Let's get you some of our gloves on our hands! American made since 1900.
I have been trying out many pairs of work gloves at work and writing up the good and bad about all of them, I'm up to about 10 different gloves already. Im happy you posted here, ill have to pick up some of yours and try them out. Im looking forward to it!
Hey dude how do u think the deer skins would hold up for me, as a pipefitter. I wanna give this brand a try. Let me know your recommendation please. Thanks!
You’ll probably shred them man. I used the deerskin gloves to move a bunch of brush the other day and there is definitely wear at the fingers.
I use fairly generic pigskin, hardware store kind, for work around our land, light mechanical work, gardening, firewood cutting/splitting/shifting etc. Cheap, though not the cheapest. My philosophy is that you want the glove to wear out so your hands don't so long term durability isn't a major thing for me.
Or don't wear gloves and your hands will eventually toughen up. Haha
Where did get that jacket in the thumbnail?
Freenote cloth rj2
@@joma4499 thanks man - but just quietly- fuck my arse - it’s 900 bucks American!
Could someone tell me whats the jacket he is wearing on the video photo?
That is the Freenote Cloth RJ2
What's the jacket you're wearing in the screen shot?
That’s the RJ2 from Freenote Cloth
@@CarlMurawski thx
I debating between deer and elk, main reason I want them is for the warmth, but the protection I will not turn down. I do shopping carts so my hands get abused, but about 65-70% of my rough on the hands work is smooth surfaces. It’s really hard to justify 65$ gloves but maybe I need to reward my self with something as the cold season is comin quicker then we realize
when I was working in Wildland fire fighting and doing Volunteer Fire Fighting we got pig skin gloves. Those were some good gloves
Kinco Makes great Leather work gloves. Way better than the provided crap the Forest service gives us
Hi it's me and stitching blouse worker 50 miles experience
Not that you owe me anything but i am still a bit curious about what you thought about the gloves. I was really excited when i saw this video but felt a bit let down. Dose this glove company offer custom fit sizes? They look very high quality. I am the type that once i find something i like it’s hard for me to change. Keep up the great work!
Hey man, I feel like a jackass for not reaching out sooner. The Churchill gloves are made exceptionally well, but the fingers are way too long. Long enough that it becomes a problem when I'm trying to do anything tactile at all. I still need to break them out into a separate video, but after a long time trying to like them I just don't use them very much due to the fit.
Carl Murawski makes total sense. They were supposed to make yours a custom fit based off your hand trace sent in. If a glove fits poorly like that they are worthless lol. No way to actually use them. The gloves i ordered from them were made to my exact hand size and the difference was amazing. They must have miss understood what i wanted them to do for you. Thanks for clearing that up.
What jacket is that in the thumbnail?
That is the Freenote Cloth RJ2
@@CarlMurawski thank you sir. Great videos too!
I was gonna ask the same thing! It’s amazing lol
In the Army I never had a glove that lasted more than a season
I always find that civilians love the term "military grade" alot more than the actual forces😂😂
Real life theyre the same lol
Nylon thread is junk nylon drys out.
I don't wear gloves unless its hot work or chemicals. Any cheap leather glove can be great if you treat them with a boot oil and keep a few in rotation. I prefer Elk or Cow now one you missed is Hog. Hog is pretty darn tough.
you gotta do a review on ben davis pants
If you work in the woods, get white ox!
I have a pair of the buffalo ropers...I can say that I'm not very impressed. It's the first glove I've ever had to give me blisters due to the excess material on the inside. It didn't get much better after 20 hours of wear. The gloves are also slicker than snot.
Want to see a nice work glove? The Vermonter, from Vermont Glove.
Hell yeah! Fantastic gloves!!!!
@@CarlMurawski oh, btw, love your Filson vids
Ouch
just the thought of pinching your hand between needlenose pliers😭🤬
Red barons are the best glove
I would not use deerskin gloves on a motorcycle. There's absolutely no abbression or slide protection. You fall and brace yourself - your wrists snap. You fall at speed and slide - the road turns into sandpaper, and those gloves are not gonna resist that, turning your hand-meat into beef pattys.
I'm a gold Smith not a woodchopper.. and I mess up gloves in days. It's sad actually cuz if you do it with your hands like the real men youll end up full of cuts.. not deep cuts but like hundreds of cat scratches
Your jacket in the thumbnail?
Thats the Freenote Cloth RJ2
Didnt even think of it that my gloves were deerskin gloves until i saw this video
But damn theyre good
Anyways i put some gromits in them so i can hang them by a carabiner in my pants to prevent them from getting lost
Dear skin is no good for motorbike , if you go down the road they will wear away like paper. Like rough sandpaper at whatever speed! It is a no no! Any leather needs oils and balms to keep them supple. But a balm on buffalo leather and it will soften up nicely! But still keeps it's strength. The way they are stitched makes a big difference!

Thanks
Go to national welders, I buy my rod busting gloves with reinforced finger for less than five bucks a pair. If it's cold, stop and get a pair of cotton gloves for a buck at circle k. Otherwise just grow a pair and get some callouses.
I love leather but as soon as it gets wet say good bye to your grip
All the wrong tools for a difficult job - me (my saying)
For anyone about to blow money on ridiculous gloves, just go buy a pack of maxiflex. You’ll be happier.
Leather gloves are not good most work an electrician does for the most part. Really leather is good for pulling wire and that's about it. Working with 1/4 nuts and bolts they aren't good for even 3/8 is tough. Making up lighting, outlets ect leather gloves are awful for.
Really most trades, Sheet metal, Carpenters, Plumbers, ect leather are not good for most tasks done. Besides laborers you hardly ever see anyone on a jobsite with leather gloves.
$50 to $100 for work gloves just seems insane also. No matter the quality of the leather if you wear and work in them often they will wear out in a few months.
Kangaroo skin gloves not available in the states?...so you don't have the internet?
Kangaroo gloves are thinner and stronger than most leathers. I'm in the states and I build them to ship.
Interesting, but unfortunately I don’t need to wear gloves for work
Kangaroo for the win sorry
I am having trouble finding gloves that last, i have been buying the toughest gloves i can find and they don't last 2 days at my work. I need the toughest of the tough. I grab and stack rough cut lumber all day.
Can you make gloves out of politicians? They're super soft, yet their hide is so thick that it would be near on indestructible.
It would also be cheap.
