Details
When selecting military surplus leather gloves you want to consider four factors before buying:
- Condition - Leather gloves tend to get used a lot. When they are issued to the military they tend to be used even more. So condition of military surplus leather gloves is very important.
- Sizing - Military contracts often require leather gloves to be made in all sizes including very small. The small sizes tend to be what is left over and makes it to the surplus market. So always check sizing of leather gloves from the military prior to buying.
- Quality of Materials - Types of leather can vary greatly from soft to rigid which will determine how useful and comfortable the gloves you buy will be. The stitching on leather gloves is also critical to how long they will last from daily use.
- Price - If the pair of military surplus leather gloves cost as much or more than other quality leather gloves, you need to consider how good of a buy the military surplus gloves are.
Using these four factors, our French Army leather gloves are an excellent buy:
- The condition of the gloves is perfect as they came to us sealed in their original factory package.
- Size of the military surplus gloves is ideal as they will fit medium or large hands
- Quality of the gloves is excellent as the French selected premium grade soft leather for their construction
- Price is perfect as you won't find a nicer pair of black leather gloves for this price or level of quality.

Great gloves on a budget! review by Noah on 8/19/2016Excellent pair of gloves for shooting or handling rough objects. Don't be alarmed if you pull your hands out to see black material (fabric? dust?) on them after wearing them for the first few times. These will last you for a while!

Awesome gloves, goofy velcro! review by Seth on 5/22/2016
These gloves would be very stylish if it wasn't for the goofy velcro closure.
Nothwithstanding this (it's easily replaced anyways), these gloves are really good quality for the cash and are very suitable to loght-medium tasks like driving and lifting. Not suitable for construction or heavy protection though.
Good fit, good quality, good buy! -
These will be gone review by Jack on 5/14/2016
New, leather is in great condition. True to size... L is accurate.
Cuff comes 3" up wrist from base of thumb w/ nice Velcro closure.
I would say the leather is similar to a mid weight work glove thickness. -
Great leather gloves review by Connected on 10/21/2015
I really like these gloves, windproof and soft for new leather. They have a weird chemical smell out of the box, but I just sat them out over night and the smell went away. They Fit good and I would recommend them..

Very nice gloves. They are a good fit on my medium size hands. I also bought the Swedish wool liners for colder weather and they work very well as liners for these. review by James on 4/26/2015

Great Looks Feel & Price review by SurplusCollector on 11/13/2014
Getting gloves like these anywhere else, you'd likely be spending anywhere from 10-20+ dollars. But its always nice getting military gloves for under 10 bucks. I have about medium sized hands, and a size 7 1/2 is more of my type, but these still feel pretty good on me once adjusted.
Would probably feel even better for someone with larger hands. Would make good driving and motorcycle gloves. -
Good value review by Daniel on 2/20/2014
Very comfortable! The leather is very soft and its easy to manipulate your fingers and hands with them on. The leather is a little thinner than I expected, but will still keep your hands warm.

Gloves are a Steal review by Sergio on 1/12/2014
The gloves keep your hands reasonably warm and incredibly comfortable. These gloves are not the thickest by any means, but neither are they paper thin, nor do they allow wind to blow through and into your hands. The thumbs are bit on the larger side, but the rest fits as it should. They are amazing for driving with the windows down, shielding your hands from the chill of the wind, and the straps allow you to slip the wrists of the gloves underneath your jacket, or over if you prefer!

French Army Leather Gloves review by Richard on 12/21/2013
The original label (written in French, presumably) indicates that these were issued back in 1987. Interestingly, it also suggests that these were intended for NBC protection. A quick Google search seems to confirm this, and they did come sealed in a plastic bag. The leather appears to be good quality. A little thinner than I expected, though.
