This is sort of off topic, but it has to deal with a lot of the outside work I do involving wood - firewood, turning wood, etc. I am on my last pair of work gloves designed for winter use, and they have numerous holes in them. I will do well if they last me into the middle of the fall season, much less through another winter.
Why not go buy some more you say? I will tell you why. There aren't any to be had around here! I have been in almost every hardware store, home center, big box store, Tractor Supply, so on and so forth looking for work gloves. There are two problems. The first and the biggest is, people don't seem to think that there are people with large hands on this planet. Second, the buyers for the stores around here must think work gloves of any size should be flimsy rubber or cloth, maybe for keeping the dirt from getting under the user's manicured nails while moving some potting soil around the garden.
Does anyone here have a source for real gloves made of real leather for real big hands? I would dearly love to find some. I would be happy for summer weight right about now. They don't seem to be around in my size either, unless someone makes a mistake with their sewing machine and makes a pair oversized.
Thanks.
Bill
