Work Gloves - Leather, Mechanics & Coated Styles for Every Trade

Leather driver gloves use a palm cut pattern from grain leather (cowhide, goatskin, or pigskin) and typically feature open-finger or keystone thumb constructions, a gunn cut or clute cut palm pattern, and a straight or safety cuff — they're designed for abrasion protection and grip for equipment operation, vehicle driving, and general loading and material handling where full leather coverage of the palm and fingers matters. Mechanics gloves use a hybrid construction — synthetic or split leather palm with a more fitted design, padded knuckle guards, hook-and-loop wrist closures, and usually an open-back or mesh back for breathability and tactile feel — engineered for tool use, wrenching, and servicing tasks where the glove needs to fit closely to allow feel while still protecting from vibration, abrasion, and pinch injury. For the dedicated subcategories, see Leather Gloves and Mechanics Gloves.

String-knit gloves (also called knit gloves or general-purpose knit gloves) are seamlessly knit from cotton, polyester/cotton, or nylon yarns into a form-fitting glove without seams at the fingers or palm. They are among the most economical general-purpose hand protection options and are widely used for light assembly, handling, inspection, and warehouse work where the primary need is basic abrasion protection and grip enhancement rather than cut or chemical resistance. Many string-knit styles have a latex, PVC, or nitrile palm coating applied to improve grip in wet or dry conditions — the Majestic 3382 wrinkled latex palm glove is a classic example used in millions of pair quantities across construction, industrial, and agricultural applications. The knit construction allows the glove to stretch to fit a wide range of hand sizes, making one-size-fits-most styles practical for bulk crew distribution.

The Work Gloves category is the right starting point when you need a general-purpose hand protection solution — leather drivers, string-knit coated gloves, mechanics gloves, or latex-palm knit gloves for daily general work. If your application has a specific regulatory or hazard requirement — an ANSI cut level mandate, sustained cold exposure, oil and grease chemical contact, or single-use hygiene requirements — the specialized subcategories will be more efficient: use Cut Resistant Gloves for ANSI A1–A7 rated hand protection; Cold Weather Gloves for insulated winter hand protection; Nitrile Dipped Gloves for oil/chemical-contact grip work; and Disposable Gloves for single-use industrial or medical-style nitrile protection.

Yes — many styles in this category are available in box quantities (typically 12 pairs per box) and case quantities (144 pairs, i.e. 12 boxes), which significantly reduce the per-pair cost compared to individual pair pricing. The Majestic 3382 wrinkled latex palm gloves, for example, are available in boxes of 12 pairs and full cases of 144 pairs — a standard procurement format for construction companies, maintenance departments, and industrial facilities.
