Leather Gloves Types and Styles

Find leather gloves types and styles that you'd like to sell in your store

If you sell leather gloves, you're probably familiar with the variety of different types offered, from smooth leather driving gloves to rough and durable working gloves. What you carry will depend largely upon your location and your clientele: Those in Florida are less likely to look for fashionable winter gloves as opposed to those in snowy areas, for instance.

To better serve your customers, you should study popular brands' offerings and determine which brands and styles best meet your customers' needs. Manufacturers like Grandoe and DeWalt put out a vast array of leather gloves; some only have leather palms or leather trim while others are made completely of leather. In general, leather gloves types and styles can be divided into three major categories:

1. Everyday gloves. These leather gloves are fashionable and trendy, and are perfect for winter weather.

2. Sporting leather gloves. Racers and other sportsmen protect their hands with these types of gloves; some styles are basic while others are quite trendy.

3. Working gloves. Leather gloves of this type put a barrier between working men and women and their tools and other dangerous objects.

Check out leather gloves for everyday wear

Leather is an attractive material that is enjoyed by both men and women. Those who live in the northern part of the United States find that leather gloves help keep their hands warm in the winter, much warmer than knit gloves. Some gloves are lined with faux fur, which can help even more, plus this adds a stylistic feature. If your store is in an area that snows, stocking leather gloves is a must.

Carry leather gloves for sportsmen

Gloves for motorcycle and car racing as well as winter sports are commonly made from leather. Since leather is protective, it provides a great barrier from heat, road rash and icy weather. Choose from gloves with a leather palm or gloves made completely of leather.

Consider leather gloves designed for work

Leather provides the ultimate protection between a person and his or her work. It can be soft yet durable and is extraordinarily tough. That makes leather gloves great for all sorts of industrial jobs, from lawn care to mechanic shops. They will stand up to friction and protect from thorns and poisonous plants, heat and pressure, and other vocational hazards.
