I haven't bought gloves yet, so I would be interested if someone had tried them too.

Ive worn pigskin gloves before. They are decent enough for looks, but actual use.....well you get what you pay for. They can last for a week or so of hard work, then start developing holes

I have posted this before, for anyone looking for a pair of gloves. If you have a BJ's Wholesale warehouse anywhere near you, they have the Mid West gloves that are identical to the Wells Lamont 1130 in a package of four for $19.95. That works out to be less than five bucks a pair.

The story goes that Harrison Ford borrowed the gloves from a grip on the set. Both Wells Lamont and Mid West supplied gloves for the grips from what I understand. So, I don't know if we will ever know if the gloves on screen were Wells Lamonts or Mid West. I guess I am covered as I have some of both brands.

The only difference in the gloves is that the Mid West is a little darker color. They aren't real dark, it is just that my Wells Lamonts are a pretty pale shade. I have seen some gearheads pay twenty bucks for one pair of these Mid West gloves. IMHO, four pairs for that same price is quite a deal.

Where are the BJ's warehouses? Are they in the Southeast? I would definitely pay that.

It appears that they have eight locations in Georgia. Just look under store locations.
