About this product
Four sizes. Thick enough to handle cut steel edging, soft enough to still feel what you are doing.
Handling steel edging is exactly the job that finds the holes in a cheap fabric glove.
These are cow leather, chosen thick enough to protect and soft enough that you can still pick up a spike.
The palm carries a reinforced patch, because the palm is where a work glove always fails first.
Leather breathes and absorbs sweat, which is why it stays comfortable for a long session in a way a coated synthetic does not.
Four sizes: S, M, L and XL.
Every glove is a trade between protection and feel. Too thin and a cut steel edge or a thorn goes straight through. Too thick and you cannot pick up a spike, so you take them off, and a glove in your pocket protects nothing.
Cow leather sits in a useful place on that trade. It resists abrasion and puncture far better than fabric, and it moulds to your hand with use rather than staying stiff.
The reinforced palm patch matters because wear is not evenly distributed. A glove almost always goes at the palm and the base of the fingers, where you grip a handle. Doubling the material there is what decides whether a pair lasts a season or a month.
Leather also breathes. That sounds like a comfort point and it is really an endurance point: a coated synthetic glove traps sweat, your hands get slippery inside them, and you stop wearing them.
For this store specifically, the job in mind is handling edging. Cut steel has an edge, corten arrives already rusted and marks everything it touches, and spikes are sharp at one end by design. All three are more pleasant in leather.
Size honestly. A glove that is too big is worse than no glove for fine work, because you lose the ability to feel what you are holding.
Still deciding?
You can change your mind. Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 you have 14 days from delivery to cancel for any reason, and a further 14 days to send it back in resaleable condition. We refund the price you paid, including standard delivery.
If it turns up faulty, damaged or not as described, that is on us. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 covers you, we pay the return postage, and you can have a repair, a replacement or your money back. Read the full detail on our refunds and returns page, or ask us anything before you order.
Got questions?
Cow leather, selected to be thick enough to protect while staying flexible.
Four: S, M, L and XL.
An extra layer of leather across the palm, which is where a work glove wears through first.
No. Leather is water resistant rather than waterproof, and soaking it repeatedly shortens its life.
Leather resists puncture far better than fabric. We would not describe any glove as thorn proof, because a determined thorn will find a seam.
That is the main reason we stock them. Cut steel, rusted corten and sharp spikes are all more pleasant in leather.
Yes. Leather breathes and absorbs sweat, which is why they stay wearable through a long session.
Snug rather than loose. A glove that is too big costs you the ability to feel what you are holding, which is when people take them off.
Knock the soil off and brush them down. Avoid soaking them, and never dry them on a radiator.
Leather dried fast by direct heat goes hard and cracks. Let them dry naturally at room temperature.
They soften with use and mould to your hand. They stiffen if they are repeatedly soaked and dried badly.
For general rose work, yes. Dedicated gauntlet gloves that cover the forearm are better for deep pruning.
Yes. The live listing lists a long set of trades, and leather work gloves suit most manual handling. We would not claim them as certified PPE for any specific trade.
No cut resistance standard is stated for them, so we do not claim one. They are leather work gloves, not certified cut protection.
Yes, sold as a pair.
They are sized S to XL rather than by gender. Pick by hand size.
Leather blocks wind well but they are not insulated, so they are work gloves rather than winter gloves.
For handling and general use, yes. Anything involving vibration over long periods is better served by anti vibration gloves.
No coating. The grip comes from the leather itself and the reinforced palm.
No. Washing leather in a machine will ruin it. Brush them clean instead.
Yes, within the 14 day withdrawal period, provided they come back in resaleable condition. Try them on before wearing them out in the garden.
No specific product guarantee is offered on this item. Your statutory rights under EU consumer law apply.
That depends entirely on what you do in them. The reinforced palm is what extends the life, since that is where wear concentrates.
Yes, and worth having. Weathered corten marks hands and clothing with rust as a matter of course.
No. Leather is not a chemical barrier. Use nitrile or the glove specified on the product label for anything you are spraying.
Yes, and it helps, because the glove takes some of the shock and keeps your grip on a mallet handle.
Leather gives a little and moulds to the hand. It does not stretch enough to fix a size that is genuinely too small.
The smallest size is S, an adult small, so they will be too large for most children.

Delivery is Europe wide and takes 5 to 7 days, after a 24 to 48 hour handling and processing time. A tracking number is emailed when the order ships.
The complete guide
Handling steel edging is the job that finds every hole in a cheap fabric glove. Cut steel has an edge, corten arrives already rusted, and spikes are sharp by design.
These are cow leather with a reinforced patch across the palm, which is where a work glove always fails first. Breathable and sweat absorbent, in four sizes.
Gardeners Gloves, sold as Leather Gardening Gloves and also listed as best yard gloves, by Steel Edging Company at steeledging.eu.com, warehouse pick codes leather-gardening-gloves-s, -m, -l and -xl. Cow leather work gloves with a reinforced palm patch for grip and wear resistance, naturally breathable and sweat absorbent, in four sizes: S at EUR 19, M at EUR 23, L at EUR 26 and XL at EUR 29. Cow leather resists abrasion and puncture far better than fabric and moulds to the hand with use. The reinforced palm is the significant feature because work gloves fail at the palm and the base of the fingers where the grip is, so doubling the material there is what determines whether a pair lasts a season. Breathability is an endurance property rather than a comfort one: coated synthetic gloves trap sweat, hands become slippery inside them and the user stops wearing them. On this store the intended use is handling edging, where cut steel has an edge, corten arrives already rusted and marks what it touches, and spikes are sharp by design. Suitable for gardening, yard work, fencing and landscaping generally. Sizing guidance: a glove that is too large is worse than none for fine work because it removes the ability to feel what is held. Care: dry naturally away from direct heat, since leather dried on a radiator hardens and cracks, and knock soil off rather than soaking them. Sold as a standard stock item, so the 14 day EU withdrawal right applies in full, provided they come back in resaleable condition. Delivery Europe wide, free over EUR 100, otherwise EUR 25.
