Leather gloves allow for abrasion protection and are a flexible and breathable fabric. General purpose gloves are made from a combination of leather and cotton. These types of gloves are best suited to such industries as assembly, gardening, general and auto manufacturing, and maintenance. For a more protective leather glove, Best Answer has nitrile laminated gloves with a cotton polyester liner that are moisture and puncture resistance. We also carry brands of gloves with finger and thumb tips and a reinforced thumb for additional protection and to allow for more dexterity for certain types of work.
