Leather is strong, malleable and flexible. It is also able to absorb moisture, which is why a leather glove always feels dry and comfortable – never damp. All leather gloves at RASHEED AHMED & SONS are made from selected, carefully tanned hides to achieve the best possible durability and flexibility. They also meet the applicable CE standards for chrome content. Chrome-free gloves are also available for people with allergies.
Leather hides vary in properties based on the part of the animal they come from—backs and shoulders offer durable strength, while sides are softer. During processing, hides are split into two layers: grain (also known as nappa) and split. Grain leather is soft, flexible, moisture-resistant, and ideal for precision gloves requiring comfort and sensitivity. Split leather has a rougher texture, comes in various thicknesses, and offers heat resistance, making it perfect for heavy-duty work gloves with strong grip.

NOTE: The table above is meant to give you a general indication of how various types of leather perform in relation to each other during standard testing

Keystone thumbs offer the highest range of motion and are the most comfortable. This style offers a wide range of applications and is the most ergonomically correct work glove.

Wing thumbs are designed for open handed work (pushing, pulling, lifting, etc.] The seams are not exposed to wear when the palm is open, thus extending the life of the work glove.

Straight thumbs are designed for close fisted work [shoveling, prying, sweeping, etc.). When the fist is closed, the seams are out of the wear area
Rubberized cuffs are made from two fabric layers with a rubber material laminated in between them. This cuff provides moderate impact abrasion resistance.
Leather cuffs are primarily constructed from split leather. These cuffs are launder able, durable and build for longer wear.
Duck cuffs are made primarily for laundering purposes. The material is made from a single layer of heavy cotton.
Starched cuffs are made from two layers of fabric laminated and starched together. These cuffs provide mild impact and abrasion protection.
Denim cuffs are made from a single-ply denim fabric. These cuffs are typically used in economical products.

Promotes warmth, fit and helps prevent common particles from entering the glove.

2-1/2" in length, this is the most common cuff style available. Safety cuffs help protect the wrist area and slide on and off easily.

4" In length, the gauntlet cuff provides better forearm protection.

The band top slides easily on and off the hand. It provides comfort and moderate wrist protection.

Easy to slide on and off the hand. It provides no substantial wrist protection.

Similar to slip-on, but use similar leather (as of top).
