Leather Palm Work Gloves
The jobsite workhorse: a leather palm for grip and wear, with a canvas or cotton back that keeps the glove light and breathable. Short knit or safety cuffs, reinforced and double palms, and insulated styles for winter.
Buying guide
What to look for in a leather palm glove
These gloves are simple, so the details are what set them apart.
Palm leather
Shoulder split cowhide is thick and durable. Side split is a bit more consistent. Grain pigskin adds feel and breathability.
Reinforcement
Double palms and patched palms add a second layer where gloves wear out first, which helps on rough materials.
Cuff style
A safety cuff is a short, stiff cuff that's easy to pull off fast. A knit wrist keeps out debris and holds the glove snug.
Insulation
Lined and insulated versions add warmth for cold mornings and outdoor work.
Good to know
Full back or standard back?
A standard leather palm glove has leather on the palm and fingertips, with fabric on the back. A full back glove carries the leather over the back of the hand too.
Full back styles last longer when you're reaching into rough spaces or handling material that scrapes the back of your hand.
Built for the everyday grind.
