Leather goods are used by millions of people today. In our modern world, we walk on leather, ride on it, and still wear it. It is with the wearing of leather that newbb电子平台 Safety enters a long-sacred leather lineage. We manufacture leather armor for countless industries and a wide variety of different applications. We may not be making leather bracer armor or leather belts, as we will cover in our next section. However, we do produce over 200 unique leather gloves, with hundreds of different sizing sku's. And, like leather bracer armor of old, that once protected ancient warriors, we manufacture leather sleeve armor for those who require leather protection up the arm. Instead of protection for battle, newbb电子平台 Safety keeps those who need protection at work safe from hazards.
Leather itself is an ancient material, which we will highlight more next.
Leather has been one of humanity’s most crucial aids in surviving the elements.
Roman Legionnaire’s Leather Sandals
Leather has a sacred and ancient history. For thousands of years, leather has been the go-to material for clothing, shelter, warmth, weapons, and protection against the elements. Leather has provided man with a second skin that is unlike any other material found on the planet. It is one of man’s earliest recorded tools, a discovery as old as the wheel and fire. Here are some examples of leather used across the ages:
We’ve highlighted all these references to illustrate a critical point: man partnered with this essential material early on, and leather has gone hand in hand with humanity’s history. It has been worn by people living in empires long forgotten, by warriors in armed combat, and by people needing relief from the cold. Needless to say, leather has been an essential companion that has helped humanity survive thousands of years.
Leather has faced increasing pressure from other materials in the 20th and 21st centuries. As new fabric technologies have come of age, such as nylon and polyester, which offer users greater flexibility and feel, the role of leather has been challenged. However, leather is a product that will continue its long history well into the future due to its many inherently valuable characteristics.
Our goal at newbb电子平台 Safety is to help every customer find the right pair of gloves to protect them from workplace hazards. To accomplish this, we develop industry pages, create education blogs, and provide in-depth summaries of the products we offer so consumers can be informed and educated about the products they are buying. It’s all part of our commitment to keeping workers safe.
Feel free to continue reading to learn more about leather. If you prefer, you may jump to our personal protective equipment (newbb电子) section from here by clicking the image below, which will take you directly to our glove options.
Whatever dangers you face in the line of duty, we promise we have a leather work glove suitable for getting the job done right while protecting your hands. Get ready - we’re going to take the gloves off and pound you with some leather information!
Leather is best defined as a material formed by tanning animal hides and skins. Today, most of the leather hides used are taken from cows and are a by-product of the meat industry. However, leather hides may be taken from virtually anywhere and made into leather. Hippo, ostrich, reindeer, alligator, and lizard, while not mainstream leather options, show the versatility and range of leather possibilities. There are no shortages in possible material that can be used.
Another significant advantage of leather over other materials is that it is incredibly versatile. It can be cut and shaped with relative simplicity, making it ideal for a myriad of uses. Just within the glove industry, the leather may be used as a reinforcement, for patched palms, to create ¾ backings or to create full backings. It’s this versatility that makes leather ideal for many needs across a wide range of commercial areas.
Leather is no longer limited to being used for clothing; its use has expanded into numerous industries, and it is the material of choice for multiple applications. Some of these applications include the residential furniture industry and the automotive industry.
Automobile with Leather Interior
Leather bags and shoes are items some of the items that have survived for decades on the ocean floor.
Leather is such a durable and flexible substance; it can be fashioned into shoes, bags, clothes, jackets, equipment, and leather work gloves. It is so durable that some leather shoes, leather bags, and leather pouches discovered in the wreckage of the Titanic are still intact, more than 100 years later.
Although it has a seemingly endless number of uses, roughly half of all leather produced is used for making shoes and protecting one's feet from stones, thorns, and hidden objects.
Leather’s widespread usage is due, in part, to its excellent inherent properties. One of these is the density of fibers found in leather. Leather’s fibers are so closely intertwined that it is highly resistant to tearing. Here are some of the many characteristics of leather that make it a popular material in a variety of uses:
When you want a pair of gloves that last, nothing beats grade A, leather work gloves. Bring on the rough materials; leather has your back to protect your hands!
Grain leather drivers, especially goatskin and deerskin, are soft and excellent in applications where sense-of-touch is required.
Leather can withstand heat, making it ideal for anyone working around flames or sparks, such as metalworkers.
Leather is one of the most abrasion-resistant materials you’ll encounter. Check out the abrasion scores found on our new Mustang Utility leather gloves.
Nothing quite compares to a thick leather palm to keep objects from busting through your glove.
When you want leather that is highly dexterous, deerskin leather gloves fit the bill, with goatskin being a close second runner-up.
When compared to cotton and knitted styles, leather gloves have greater thermal protection and will keep your hands warmer in cold environments.
All leather breathes, but if you’re looking for top breathability, a nice pigskin or synthetic leather style is the answer. Add in a mesh back, and you’re ready for a hot workday.
High fiber counts make leather naturally strong. Goatskin and deerskin are among the strongest leathers available.
Heavy-duty leather is thicker than general-purpose nylon, which means it can take a hit, absorb impact, and help to cushion hands from heavy objects.
The natural texture of leather provides a natural tactile grip, especially with leather palm styles.
Because of its many features and benefits, leather is an excellent choice for hand protection and is, overall, one of the best glove options available to industrial workers. When it comes to protecting against scuffs, scrapes, flames, sparks, heat, abrasion, friction, and rough surfaces, leather protection is the ideal selection. Now, let's explore some of the industries that use leather work gloves.
Technology may be changing all around us, but the landscape of who uses leather work gloves hasn’t changed all that much. Countless industries still rely on leather work gloves, since leather stands up to some of the most rigorous tasks.
Leather gloves protect workers across a wide range of hazards, most notably from abrading one’s hand against rough surfaces and protection from sparks and heat hazards. Since these hazards show up across many industries, leather gloves remain a popular form of newbb电子. Here is a look at numerous industries where you will find leather work gloves:
A rancher handles rope, making leather gloves a perfect fit with its high abrasion-resistance. Cowboys and ranchers have relied on leather gauntlet gloves for centuries.
Leather resists sparks and moderate heat, making it the ideal newbb电子 for welding. Leather can withstand high temperatures: up to 430°F when untreated and as much as 600°F when tanned with chrome. This heat-resistance makes it an ideal material for newbb电子平台 Safety welding gloves and for other jobs that involve exposure to heat.
Using hand tools, assembling, and digging trenches are several of the many reasons leather gloves are so popular in this industry. Almost any carpenter is going to prefer a nice pair of grain leather gloves for their sense of touch and ability to feel tools with ease. We highlight these gloves in our leather driver gloves section and focus on their tactile abilities that will enable you to feel the hand tools you use every day. In addition to tactile leather drivers, construction workers handle some heavy material, which means heavy-duty leather gloves, like those shown in the construction image, are also essential.
Linemen are always pulling wires and cables, which require the highest quality leather glove available. Any lineman will tell you that leather gloves can take a beating when handling cables. If you are looking for a durable glove, check out our new 962, designed specifically for grabbing abrasive rope. Leather is also naturally flame-resistant, making it a top choice among linemen and electricians who need to protect themselves from flames. Our MU3644 is one of those gloves! This long leather glove is designed to protect workers well up the arm.
Roughly 6% of the workforce in the oil and gas industry is made up of construction and extraction workers. As we discussed in our construction section, these workers wear a variety of leather work gloves. Check out the brown leather gloves worn in the image below. Our new Mustang lineup of brown leather gloves are some of the best leather gloves available on the market today and are covered on a separate leather glove page.
Blacksmiths and ironworkers having been utilizing leather protection for millennia. Why? They select leather because these workers know how easily one can get burned when working around heat and flames. Leather is the go-to material for protecting against sparks and heat. Across the metal fabrication industries, you will find workers needing protection from rough metal surfaces, hot metal objects, and heavy metal that will quickly bang-up one's back-of-hand.
Cutting down trees, handling wood, and cutting lumber in the sawmill requires the highest abrasion-resistant leather work gloves available.
Leather gloves are perfect for light- to heavy-duty yard work, from mulching, digging, and shoveling, to general yard work. A nice pair of thick leather work gloves keep hands free of abrasions, scrapes, and cuts.
Heavy cleanup work, handling materials, and welding are all applications performed by miners. Leather work gloves protect against the hazards these activities present.
Most every industry will have workers that require the protection offered by leather gloves. From moving debris, rock, and gravel to keeping the grounds clean at an industrial power plant, leather gloves are an essential part of many workers’ newbb电子.
Did you know, leather driver gloves were first developed to help early race car drivers grip their wooden steering wheels? Since then, leather driver gloves have become standard issue for racers. Today, you’ll commonly hear the term “mechanics gloves” used to describe the gloves a race teams wear. We cover these more in our Leather Driver section.
A nice pair of police leather gloves for searches and handling weapons goes a long way to keep law enforcement officials safe on the job. Our new 962 gloves, shown in the image below, are made with super-stretch material and are available in muted colors.
Maintenance workers, keep things up and running in industrial settings, such as in industrial manufacturing settings. They need protection from a laundry list of applications they are required to perform. We highlight many of these applications in our next section.
Leather Archery Gloves
As we mentioned earlier, leather work gloves have been worn by people for thousands of years for a variety of reasons. The image to your right showcases how leather gloves have changed over time to meet the needs of specific applications. The glove is a bowman’s glove, found at Shakespeare’s family home. Shakespeare’s father was a leather glove manufacturer and made this glove to accommodate English bowmen. No, newbb电子平台 Safety doesn’t stock this glove today…sorry. Instead, we offer leather products that meet the needs of the workers and people living in the 21st century. We offer a wide range of leather work gloves in the form of leather utility gloves, leather impact gloves, and leather mechanics gloves to meet a variety of different applications. When you visit our ten pages of leather work glove styles and options, you’ll understand how designing application-specific gloves continues to this day.
Over the past decade, one application-specific glove offered by newbb电子平台 Safety has shown a lot of success. That is our cut-lined leather work glove. We have upgraded over 15 leather glove styles to be cut-resistant, including our MU3624K, 4840K, and 3601SKHV styles. You may wonder, will someone have these gloves on display somewhere one day, highlighting how newbb电子平台 Safety once made gloves at the beginning of the 21st century? Only time will tell with regards to that question. However, unless humanity develops some secondary skin technology that goes over one’s current skin, then chances are relatively high that humans will continue to need protection from cut injuries.
Cut Lined Leather Gloves
We’ve highlighted a variety of industries that use leather glove protection. Here is a look at some activities performed across those industries where leather gloves come in handy:
You might have picked up on a theme here: almost all of the above applications involve abrasion, heat, or possible puncture injuries. Leather work gloves will always serve as an essential part of newbb电子 because these applications aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.
Finding the perfect leather glove for the above applications means finding the glove with the features ready to meet the challenges faced. Across all our leather pages, we focus on the advantages offered by each glove style and highlight specific hides and glove components that will dictate which leather glove works best within a particular application and industry. Knowing the differences between critical parts of a leather work glove is important and will help make you a more educated buyer. Understanding the components of hides, stitching, grade levels, and cuffs will help ensure you are wearing the correct glove for the application at hand. This will also make you safer on the job. In addition to each leather work glove page, we’ve created a Leather Glove 101 page to help you understand all the facets of leather gloves. We want you safe and educated when it comes to your newbb电子!
newbb电子平台 Safety's ITC Testing Lab
So, what are the best leather work gloves? Ultimately, the answer to this question depends on the type of work performed and the protection needed. However, we are living in the age of data, so we have some insight to share.

Goatskin being tested for tensile strength in the ITC lab.
You can tell from the stats above that premium leather hide gloves are designed to perform. We hope these numbers help prove why you might think twice before trying to save a buck and instead select to go with a higher quality leather glove. While these may only be lab test results, they translate to a leather glove that breaks down after just one day or one that lasts much longer.
We also hope these numbers demonstrate how newbb电子平台 Safety is dedicated to manufacturing top-quality leather work gloves and educating you on the differences.
