Abstract
A holder for bulky construction worker's gloves during their non-use, wherein the holder is attached by downwardly facing clips to the construction worker's belt and the gloves inserted within upwardly facing clips of resilient plastic construction material so that the bulk of the gloves opens the clips and the urgency of the resilient plastic material closes the clips upon the gloves to hold them in place.
