Why the Wells Lamont Cowhide is the default work glove

Every truck, barn, and garage has a pair of these. The Wells Lamont Cowhide is the glove people mean when they say "work gloves" — full leather, tough enough for fencing and lumber, and cheap enough to buy two. It does not specialize; it just holds up to the everyday abrasion of real work at a price that makes a spare pair painless. That is exactly why it is the default first leather glove for homeowners, farms, and general crews. It will not out-protect a specialized glove, but for the endless list of everyday chores that just need a tough hide between skin and splinter, it is hard to beat on value, and a worn-out pair is cheap to replace before it fails. As leather work gloves go, this is the value cowhide standard, and the best leather work gloves guide and mechanics gloves guide cover matching a glove to the task.
