Gloves

I just received Todd's gloves and I was wondering if I should apply Pecards to them or just let them wear in naturally.

1) Go out to your yard and dig a hole.
2) Fill in the hole.
3) Dig another hole.
4) fill in that hole.

Don't forget to dig the holes by hand.

Repeat and rinse.

Definitely break them in yourself. The only thing I did was spray them once with alcohol in a mist bottle. Everything else has been yardwork - and they look great.

Exactly! I did the above and then built a compost bin fo the wife. Distressed the gloves nicely in a day.

NOTE: All Indy Clothing and Gear makes for GREAT yardwork/Honey-do list work.

A REAL quick fix is to put them on and rub your hands all around the inside of the bag of charcoal. Just stick your hands right into it. Rub a bit of it in then smack off the remainder of dust and you're good to go.

Yup, pruning trees, fighting blackberries, spreading mulch, mowing, weedwhacking, etc, broke in my gloves and boots pretty well.

If you don't have a yard, feel free to swing by my place this weekend. I'd be happy to loan you mine.

I purchased a pair of Wells Lamont gloves at Wal-Mart that are very similar to Todd's for a heckuva a lot less, $9.00, and after a few days working around the yard they are really looking good. Of all the pieces of gear I have recently acquired the gloves are distressing the best.

Who'd ever think that doing an honest days labor in ones yard would yield such rewarding results!

When you're done with hocfutue's place, I still have a ton of stuff that needs to be done! (Well, 4 tons to be exact!)

In fact. this piles needs a movin'

I got those very same gloves. I've got a Saturday morning full of distressing planned for them.

I picked up a pair of Todd's regular gloves (arrived today). I'm surprised how thin the leather is. Feels like a dress glove, not a work glove.

I'll probably hit the Lowes or Home Depot for a pair of decent work gloves, either with or without the palm reinforcement and throw them in my firefighting gear. They'll get a decent workout there.
