Amazon has a number of Wells Lamont gloves . https://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&k...Y42_KC49yhtKSLL3R19ALw9ugi8gQgHRoCi-kQAvD_BwE But it appears that farm and fleet, as well as fleet farm, and others stock their gloves too. Here's what they make. Wells Lamont - A Marmon Group/Berkshire Hathaway Company
these are the same gloves my wife company buys, they are good gloves. I do not wear gloves I do not like them.
I use Kinco Buffalo leather gloves. I have both lined and unlined. I buy the locally on Amazon Prime. They are comfortable and wear like iron. Buffalo leather is probably 2.5-3 times thicker than beef leather. While they are thick it has fine dexterity. When need I wear mechanix or rubber dip. Specific tool to the job. I wear these down to -50*they are fine. They last way more than 3 cords, would like to know the hours on those two pairs I showed, those are from last summer.
Well worth the try. Wells of today are not what they once were. I tried a comparison between Kinco and Wells both lines and unlined. I tried keeping the hours of use as close without writing down time. I wore holes in the Wells within 2 months. I have yet wear holes in the Kinco’s. I find at some point that I can’t remember how long/old the gloves are the sticking starts to go where cut/torn. When I try and figure out how old that old friend has lended a hand to job at task. Something to be said for a pair of good fitting gloves that lends itself to becoming a trusted work friend, that won’t let you down when your relying on them.
I’ll get another couple pair for the cold days I need to handle wood Above 36°, I’ll use the atlas Was 42° this am, now 40° & rain
Our local Ace hardware has the Wells Lamont gloves. I can't remember what brand the local Menards has.
The last pair of WL gloves I bought didn't even make it through one load of firewood and the stitching all started to unravel. That is when I switched to the Atlas.
I have a pair of these I've had for quite a while but I only use them for bringing up wood in the winter, Ace Hardware with thinsulate they are pretty warm but you can see the problem with them now they still work with the little Gorilla tape on there though
Thank you for sharing! I have had the best luck with carhartt but sometimes the build quality can be hit or miss. I will need to try these out. With the coating on them looks like a good choice when working in wet weather. Seems like the finger tips are always the first to go for me.
I've been using Wells Lamont leather gloves for years, I finally figured out that I get six months out of them and then they get holes in the fingers and stitching starts to come apart. However - they get used for every outdoor chore and twice a day for loading the outdoor wood boiler. No surprise they wear out. I'm going to try the Atlas gloves, but I don't want to order 12 pairs from Amazon. Any other retailer carry them a pair or three at a time?
I'm a fan of these: That may change that I no longer get them at no cost to me, but I like them and they hold up well. Dexterity is not the best, but you get used to it after spending enough hours in them. I usually coat them with snow seal. Just kept a jar in the office and rubbed it in with the gloves on every once in a while. Kind of like lathering soap when you wash up.
