I go through a lot of leather gloves. I cut out usable pieces for my leather box before I toss the ragged parts.

I just hand mended the pair I’m using. They’re goat skin but have thinsulate. I’m trying to make them last for the rest of the season because they’re up to 20 bucks a pair now and the feed store only has large and extra large these days but I take a medium.

I’ve got cowhide gloves for handling firewood or any rough surface or heavy work.

I’ll be harvesting meat goats before too long and have a neighbor that knows a bit about tanning. I’ve got a sewing machine that would handle goat hide but gloves have got to be about the hardest thing to pattern and sew.
