Leather Gloves Pricing and Costs

Investing in quality leather gloves for your employees doesn't have to blow your budget
By M. Krasniak, Freelance Writer/Editor There are many different types of leather gloves on the market today. While leather is a more expensive material than cotton or nylon, that doesn't mean that leather gloves have to break the bank. The price of the gloves depends on a number of factors such as the type of leather used, whether or not there is a lining and what kind of safety features they come with.
 

When looking into leather gloves pricing and costs, the first step is to decide which type you want to purchase. Here are some options:

1. Purchase quality leather gloves and provide your employees with work gloves that will last.

2. Keep warm in the cold weather with lined leather gloves.

3. Stay safe with leather gloves that contain Kevlar.

Stock up on leather gloves for work and benefit from the quality material

Leather gloves for work are some of the most common--and economical--type of work glove available. They are popular because there are different types of leather such as cowhide or pigs skin, and each type differs in durability and protection. The type of leather you choose plays a large part in the leather gloves pricing and costs.
Try: Check out MFASCO Health & Safety for leather work gloves that range in price from around $11 and top out at around $25. Allied Glove and Safety Corporation has a large number of leather gloves to choose from. These gloves range in price from about $5 per pair all the way up to around $600 for a case of 10 dozen.

Protect your hands from the elements with lined leather gloves

If you are looking for extra protection from the elements, then you may want to consider lined leather gloves. This type of leather glove is perfect for those employees who work outside during the harsher weather months. Lined leather gloves are generally more expensive than unlined leather gloves, but again, their price depends largely on the type of leather as well as the type of lining. For example, a Thinsulate lining will be more expensive than a fleece lining.
Try: Aubuchon Hardware has a number of lined leather work gloves to keep your hands warm on those cold winter days. Their prices range from about $5 and go all the way up to around $35. Professional Equipment has a number of lined leather work gloves to choose from in prices that range from around $9 all the way up to about $20.

Provide your employees with some of the safest leather gloves available

Leather gloves that have some Kevlar in them are some of the safest leather work gloves available, but also some of the most expensive. This is the material that many bullet proof vests have in them, so imagine the safety these gloves could offer your employees. While these gloves aren't entirely Kevlar, they do contain some of the material, which leads to the higher prices.
Try: ABC Safety Glasses has different pairs of leather gloves with the extra protection like these that range in price from around $40 up to about $50 depending on the thickness of the glove. Select Safety Sales has a large selection of heavy-duty leather work gloves with Kevlar threading for extra durability. Their prices start at around $50 and go up to around $70.
