Heres what I use. (I have an obbsession for gloves the same way I do packs and jackets!)
I get these from Cabela's. Unlined Elkskin Leather. They fit and feel great! The leather is buttery soft and the keystone cut thumb makes for a form fitting glove with plenty of manual dexterity. I use these most commonly for shooting, definitely not for work!!!
This is the closest pic I can find to my deerskin gloves I get from Weiler Welding. Theyre unlined, and like the elk skin, buttery soft. I think theyre also a little heavier than the elkskin. Again the keystone cut thumb, very good fit and finish, very durable but not for work. I have used these only for dog training on and off the bird field.
Finally, just picked these up. Mechanix Original. Honestly, not heavy enough for workin in, not even on cars, I dont care what they say! I cant weld in them cuz theyll melt. However, I'm gonna try them for shooting to put less wear on my elkskin gloves through bein wet and muddy. They should hold up well for that! Also, I got them a size bigger than I normally would because the thumb is not keystone cut! Therefore, less room for movement between the thumb and hand part of the glove. It stresses the stitching between the two. So like I said, a size larger and it feeels ok.
