Winter Fitters Gloves

US Army Fitters Gloves

These Winter Fitters Gloves are US Army issue work gloves made for handling tools, gear and materials when the weather turns cold. The palm and fingers are leather, where grip and abrasion matter most, and the back of the hand is cotton, which keeps the glove flexible. They suit anyone doing hands-on outdoor work in winter: workshop and yard jobs, loading, fencing, firewood and general maintenance.

Features

• Leather Palm And Fingers — Cream leather covers the palm, the full fingers and the thumb, the areas that take the most wear when gripping and lifting.
• Leather Fingertip Caps — The leather wraps over the fingertips onto the back of the hand, so the ends of the fingers are protected on both sides.
• Leather Knuckle Strap — A band of leather runs across the back of the hand to guard the knuckles against knocks and scrapes.
• Cotton Back — The yellow cotton back lets the hand flex and breathe more easily than an all-leather glove.
• Gauntlet Safety Cuff — A wide, stiff cuff extends past the wrist to cover the lower forearm and lets you pull the glove off quickly.
• Shirred Elastic Wrist — Gathered elastic across the back of the wrist pulls the glove snug so it stays in place while you work.
• Stitched Cuff Edge — Rows of stitching along the cuff hem and seam add strength where the glove is pulled on and off.
• Genuine US Army Issue — These are original government-issued gloves.

Issue Specification

The fitters pattern is the classic work glove cut: a leather working surface, a cotton back and a safety cuff. This version was issued to the US Army for winter duty. Because it was supplied to a military contract, the construction follows the issuing specification, which is the main reason to choose genuine issue gloves over a generic hardware-store pair.
