    Work gloves for big guys with big hands.

    I might just get lucky and stumble on somebody here that can help me out.

    To be up front about it, I am a, well large scale kind of guy. Even as a teenager without the additional weight that has since gone on my gut, I had to wear XL shirts due to my shoulders, and work gloves have always been a problem for me.

    My see I physically cannot force my hands into the largest size split cowhide gardening gloves that I can find locally. They all want to sell, small, medium, and large. My world is kind of in Extra Large territory...

    Do any of you know of a supplier for regular gardening type gloves that come in XL or XXL sizes?

    Roping gloves, the soft leather ones are easy to find, but the ones that are harder leather that resist thorns and stuff for clearing brush out are very difficult to get here...

    I was in Sears and they had a special display with several different style gloves and I believe they had an XL in the batch.

    Just looked online at Sears

          +1 on that. That is where I go.

          Look at farm supply stores. Gotta be some of those in Texas.
