Would anyone recommend any mcmaster numbers for leather gloves. All my
gloves are used up, and dirty beyond recognition and torn, and I am

to burn also and want to get something that I could use with pleasure
for a long time.

You want the Tillman TIG welding gloves, forget the model number but I
think they're deerskin. At any rate, use them for TIG welding and then
when they get a bit grungy move them to general work glove duty and put
a fresh pair into welding service. Since I found them I haven't used
much of anything else for gloves. They aren't expansive either. McMaster
5346T5 or perhaps 5346T1.

I have exactly those tig gloves for TIG welding, they are great but
they are too thin for general stuff (like lifting things with sharp
edges). I a looking for cow leather type gloves. McMaster has a little
bit too many choices.
