Luftwaffe officer's uniform gloves)

Beekeepers' gloves. Come with thick cotton 'sleeves' to protect well up the
arm from sparks too.

But not very good for brambles and roses, holly, thistles, hawthorne,
blackthorn, pyracantha and the rest of the very prickly stuff in our garden
:-(

For dealing with those I use the green rippled plastic palmed gloves which
are univesally available. Yes, I sweat inside a bit but keep taking them off
and also have a second pair to hand.

As it were.

After use I sprinkle their insides with talc.
