WHAT WE BUILD
From fingerless to heated, our factory work gloves are custom manufactured to your exact spec - every material, decoration, and detail built by your dedicated production team.

Fingerless
Cut-off finger design for dexterity and grip in tasks requiring fine motor control.

Heated
Battery-powered warming elements built into the glove for cold-weather job sites.

Golf
Lightweight custom gloves engineered for grip, breathability, and swing comfort on the course.

Leather
Durable genuine leather construction offering abrasion resistance and a premium private label feel.

Winter

Your spec
Bring your own pattern or tech pack and we build to it.
A basic cotton work glove is straightforward production - clean construction, no frills, ready for private label runs. The stronger case is a fully developed custom pair built with embroidery detailing, reinforced panels, and branded finishing that sets a line apart. Our vetted factories handle both ends, but the elaborate build is what most brands brief us on.
