Gloves:The Ultimate Solution

Since June, we have been Installing Our Fruiting Wire and then installing our catch wires as our vines have grown. We are now installing our second catch wires and one thing that we have found is that we go through "leather" gloves like crazy.

I wore the white gloves on the left for one day and found a tear developing on the thumb area where I was pulling the wire The left glove always remains rather intact because I don't use the left hand for pulling the wire. We bought these gloves from Tractor Supply Company and since we still had our receipt, the nice lady took the gloves back and gave us our money back. The yellow gloves on the right lasted a little longer, about 3 days before developing a hole. At between $17.00-$22.00 for a pair of gloves, we looked into getting a better pair. My husband did an on line search and found that there are various levels of "leather". Then he found a place that makes leather gloves from real leather. These are the gloves that he bought for us from Texas Good Gloves and Products:

So far, I've been using the above paid of gloves for 4 days now and aside from a little wear, they have not torn through.
