These are genuine US military-issue work gloves, known for their reliable construction and toughness. Made from durable cowhide, the approximately 1mm thick leather provides excellent protection for your hands against friction, thorns, and heat. Featuring a reinforced palm and long cuffs, these gloves are safe for rope work, carrying firewood, and working around a campfire. The simple sand color makes them easy to match with a variety of settings, such as camping, DIY projects, and motorcycling. Due to military specifications, the sizing is slightly larger than typical commercial gloves. This allows for the use of inner gloves, such as cotton gloves. As these are leather products, there may be minor scratches, color variations, and individual differences in stitching due to storage. Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for a perfectly pristine item. These gloves were issued as the US military's "standard work gloves" and were used for a wide range of heavy-duty tasks, including construction and repair work, loading and unloading vehicles and supplies, handling ropes, and warehouse work. Rather than being specifically for combat, they were a practical model used for outdoor training and "handling cargo, construction, and rope work" within bases, with the thick cowhide protecting the back of the hand and palm from thorns, sparks, and embers. These gloves are great for rough use in activities like campfire camping, using a wood-burning stove, and garage work, and they are also an attractive item for military enthusiasts to collect. Good-condition, new-with-tag examples are becoming increasingly rare, so if the size fits, please consider taking advantage of this opportunity to get your hands on a pair.
