Excellent top grain leather, well stitched. These run a little large. I usually can wear an XL, but these are a bit big for me, so next time I'll choose L. Most highly recommended.

Bought these to see if they would provide greater durability than cowhide gloves, and so far so good. I want to be clear, they are NOT comfortable the first few times you use them, they are much stiffer to start than cowhide and can actually hurt parts of your hands when using them. However, once they break in, they're every bit as good as cowhide. I've used them in the garden, on auto repairs, wood working projects and they haven't shown any signs of failure since I purchased them. Clearly, all gloves put through this kind of abuse will eventually fail, however these are certainly worth the price paid for them given the amount of abuse they can take.
Update: These gloves are amazing. Typically, leather gloves last a season of work before they start getting holes in the fingers, primarily because I wear them in all kinds of weather. These gloves, having been used all season long in the garden, working on my cars and for all the carpentry needs I have around the house are still going strong. Doesn't seem to matter if they get wet or not, they have not had one failure in the time I've owned them. Highly recommended.

Leather lasts longer when it is a more pliable, softer leather. The harder the work you do is on your hands, the more you need a soft leather glove. I know, it's counter-intuitive but softer leather gives when a harder leather tears.

These are well made, excellent gloves. I work on ranchland building fence, clearing out trees and such and it's been a long time since I could find these but I am so glad I found them again. Last pair I had lasted me 5 years. Goatskin gloves give out in a year and cowhide gives out in two, even if I mink oil them frequently.

Nothing that I've found lasts longer than well-maintained elk hide. Give 'em a wash with saddle soap once in awhile and keep them oiled with mink oil and they last a good long time.

American made tough gloves. Not tears so far.

Great work gloves
