Leather gloves are a top choice when it comes to choosing a work glove. Leather gloves are a great option for their excellent resistance to high temperatures and abrasion. When you are purchasing a new pair of leather gloves, consider the type of work you will be doing while wearing your gloves. At Wilco, we carry cowhide, deerskin, goat, and pig. They all have different qualities that make their use unique to the task.
Cowhide leather – The heavy-duty option. Cowhide is divided into three layers prior to manufacturing. The smooth outer layer (or grain side) is used on “premium” grade styles of leather gloves. It is the strongest, smoothest part of the hide. The bottom layer (or suede side) is used mostly on leather palm styles, which typically have linings to protect the hands against its roughness. The middle layer is usually discarded because it has no tensile strength. Heavy-duty cowhide work gloves are best used for outdoor and heavy-duty jobs.

Pigskin leather is tanned for toughness and pliability. Soft drying and flexible, pigskin withstands moisture without stiffening. Pigskin also has excellent abrasion resistance, durability, and breathability. It becomes softer after many uses. It does not crack after getting wet, as opposed to various cowhide options.
