Members CustomDoug Posted January 21, 2011 Members Report Posted January 21, 2011 I've come across a few bags from COACH that are marked as being "Glove tanned cowhide". The are very soft and flexible as well as having no gloss/sheen.. I'm also interested in sourcing some if anyone knows of a place that carries it.

Members BondoBobCustomSaddles Posted January 21, 2011 Members Report Posted January 21, 2011 I use glove leather for my show chaps. I get it from buckskinleather.com good people to do business with. I usually call to let them know what I am using it for, and get just what I ask for. Usually comes in about 2 days. Hope that helps. Really nice stuff, I always get a lot of folks asking about it when they see it at the shows. Bob Quote

Members CustomDoug Posted January 29, 2011 Author Members Report Posted January 29, 2011 That's certainly interesting.. so is it more prone to scuffs etc, you think? Quote Does Anyone Know Where the Love of God Goes When the Waves Turn Minutes to Hours?
Members Ellen Posted February 6, 2011 Members Report Posted February 6, 2011 Bettunsvillage had recently some glove leather. Quote
reddevil76 Posted February 12, 2011 Report Posted February 12, 2011 After reading this post, a bulb came on. There was some camo leather I was trying to move, it had the same finish as mentioned by Doug, and recently I tried using it as a lining in a wallet and I found it difficult to slide bills into the wallet. I decided to check and I've just realised the 2 camo prints that I am trying to move on the For Sale section was actually produced for military and hunting gloves, and the matt finish is actually meant to be non-slip as it is gloves leather! Here's the specs I've found: Water resistant Pittards WR100X tannage offers an enhanced resistance to rain, humidity or working conditions, and greater insulation to protect the hands in all weathers. Perspiration resistant Pittards leather has been chemically treated to prevent absorption of moisture, including sweat, into the glove and thereby retains its softness and feel even after repeated exposure. Exceptional fit Pittards WR100X leather offers exceptional softness of touch, natural fit and unique flexibility for ultimate comfort. Breathability Pittards Camouflage leather has been processed to guarantee unique breathability and comfort at all times. Do you guys think it's probably better for me to find a glove maker here on this site, and send the whole batch of leathers to be made into gloves and then try to sell them as finished goods instead of leather?

A little humor is the spice that makes life worth it. I took is as you meant it and got a chuckle out of it. Some folks' just have too thin of a hide, probably should use them to make gloves!

reddevil76 Posted February 13, 2011 Report Posted February 13, 2011 Its like the other time when another member received a hide with tractor marks on them and said perhaps Tannery Run means to run over it at the tannery. I got a good laugh out of that! Quote
