who makes a good set of heavy leather work gloves for farm and ranch chores.  
i need something that will turn thorns and barbed wire and not tear out after about a week of work.

i have an old pair that is several years old and they are wearing out.
every new pair i find lasts about a week and the leather just rips and falls apart.

thanks.

Try tractor supply co.

i tried them and walked away
also lowes, home depot and sears.

The ones here have good gloves, of course we have one every ten miles.

Might see about some welding gloves or something if tractor supply is not heavy duty enough.

One thing my tractor supply offers to do is order in something their catalog has that the store does not have.  I have not done this, but I guess checking to see if tractor supply has an online catalog might help some since you would have something to start looking for.

I have to drive to the burbs to get to a tractor supply, so I find it easier to go to the local farm store and if they don't have it they happily tell you who would carry it and send you to some other local mom and pop store.
