Leather Types

Cow — Cowhide leather is the most commonly used leather within the glove industry due to its abundance. The advantages include comfort, durability, excellent abrasion resistance, and breathability.
Pig — Pigskin affords the greatest breathability due to the porous texture of this hide. Additionally, pigskin tends to become softer with use and withstands moisture without stiffening. When laundered, this leather will return more to its natural soft texture than other leathers.
Goat — Independent tests have proven that grain goatskin is twice as durable as cow grain and pig grain leather. The natural lanolin produced by goats helps to create the softest, most abrasion-resistant leather. This leather is highly recommended for applications requiring tactile sensitivity.
Deer –– Known to be one of natures most luxurious, softest leathers, providing all day comfort and sensitivity to touch.

Glove Construction

Gunn Cut

Features – Seamless on back. The palm side of the middle two fingers is a separate glove pattern and is sewn to the palm at the base of the middle two fingers. In full leather and leather palm styles, the seam is reinforced with a welt that gives additional resistance to wear in this critical area.
Benefits – Seam in natural hand crease allows flexibility; seamless back increases comfort. Finger seams away from the palm increase gloves’ durability and wear life.


Clute Cut

Features – Seamless palm made from a continuous piece of leather. Back of glove has parallel seams. Finger side seams are toward palm side of glove.
Benefits – Provides a roomy fit. Seamless palm means greater ease of movement and comfortable gripping. Primarily used in fabric gloves and lightweight leathers.


Welting
A thin piece of leather sewn into a seam towards the outside of the glove to protect seams from abrasions. Protects seam stitching on welding gloves from sparks reducing burn-through.


Grain — Grain leather is the smooth external side of the hide. Grain leather provides durability and dexterity.

Split — Split leather is the rougher internal side of the hide. The different types of split are side, shoulder, or belly split.

• Side Split — Side split comes from the rib area of the animal. This part of the leather is the most durable and provides the greatest protection because of its greater density of fibers.
• Shoulder Split — Shoulder split is more economical than side split, but less durable. The additional movement of the animal in this shoulder area creates less fibers and a more visible texture difference.
• Belly Split — Belly split leather is the most economical; however it has the least consistency of texture and appearance.
