Abstract
A welders glove is constructed of deer skin with the stretch axis of the skin forming the palm and back of the hand and fingers oriented to extend transverse to the axis of the hand and with the cuff portion of the glove oriented to extend longitudinally of the hand. A liner of a PVC closed-cell foam lines the three bottom fingers and the bottom half of the palm and back of the hand extending back to the end of the cuff leaving the thumb and forefinger unlined to provide for ease of feel and manipulation of tools by the thumb and forefinger.
