BGD 6,385 Posted June 6, 2022 Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 (edited) Could they have been white tail deer hide? I've seen work gloves made of that before EDIT: Like this? Amazon.com WWW.AMAZON.COM Edited June 6, 2022 by BGD 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ken's Deputy 4,456 Posted June 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 Certainly not white tailed deer. I'd have noticed that. See; Those ones seem a bit 'Thick'. Someone links to these CLC ones. But, search UK for them and we're straight back amongst the rubbery, grippy stuff. I found myself looking at VGO ones. What I believe they call the " Impact " type gloves? They certainly look the bollocks and would cover just about everything. It's just that these 'White' what ever ones just looked tough gloves that a man could wear without anyone thinking he'd seen " Tactical " in their description Basically, they stood on their own. No thrills. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jonjon79 13,340 Posted June 6, 2022 Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 Have a look at 'Rodeo gloves' - was it anything like those? Pretty pricey though. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chartpolski 20,409 Posted June 6, 2022 Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 (edited) A pal of mine who worked on the rigs used to bring me a hold-all of gear back now and again. It included a couple of pairs of "Buffalo" gloves. I think that is the trade or manufactures name. As you say, they were thick, yellow leather with red cambrelle lining. Far too heavy for any dexterous work, but fine for pulling brambles, etc. The rest of the gear was "Red Wing", yank gear that we also used in Saudi, top class, expensive kit, maybe the gloves were a subsidiary of "Red Wing" ?

Ah, now see; They Look expensive, don't they? I'll bet they creak and squeak as ye putting them on too. Whilst looking someone dead in the eye ..... The Milwaukee ones just look a bit clumpy, don't they? Very squared looking finger tips Now, Charts; These things were white. Not yellow. Chrome tanning, see? I'm bloody sure they were white by name too. Really annoying me now, as I'm sure I checked them out, on Amazon, at the time! 'Red Wing'?! Fukk, Yeah!!! Something like three pairs of their boots over an entire career, isn't it?! No. I think these gloves were about $25.00 a pair. He wasn't the only guy I saw wearing them either. Just a Really good, bog basic, no thrills work a day glove. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Honestly can't remember them particularly being either! It's really bugging me. I mean, here's a guy who's just taken all the fukking guess work out of it. He'd tried them all. Every day. Really tried them. He knows which shrink. Which come unstitched. Which ones won't actually stop a steel wire. And he's told us. And they're really reasonably priced too. And I've gone and fukking forgotten!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ken's Deputy 4,456 Posted June 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 Greg, that may well have been them! Maybe that's why I never grabbed some at the time? Out of fukking stock! (That Would explain a lot! ) Has to be them, doesn't it? White gloves. Called 'White Buffalo'. (Where else would I have got such a name from?) Specifically mentions shit like sweat? I'd say that'd be them, mate. Fukk! Now I have to go and buy something else. On spec Thanks, lads. We Tried! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
