Tom,

It was me and it is great, right? Best supply for the gloves is the auto parts store, for the Nitrile gloves, the blue ones, they last a long time. If they get too hot just cut the fingers off and use them instead of the whole glove. I take em off and blow them back right side out and use them till they fall apart.

Ok, i'm missing something. What do the gloves do if you cut the fingers off???

Is the purpose to keep your skin oils off the leather or what??????

I do lotsa hand stitching and would love to know!

They help you grip the needle better. It works pretty good for anyways.

I use the Nitrile gloves when I dye the leather (well sometimes). I get mine when they're on sale at Harbor Freight.

I'd put on the finger parts on my fingers, that way you get the benefit of a good grip but keep the tight sweaty glove off your palm.

I think they mean that you cut all the fingers off except for the ones that you need.Art

LOL That's me too William. Afterward I think, mmm I should have put the gloves on. They also sell knit gloves with the finders and palm covered in nitrile.Art
