Rostaing gardening gloves

Gloves to protect against the cold have been known to man throughout the ages, and even the pharaohs of ancient Egypt wore leather gloves as a symbol of power and their exalted position. In the Middle Ages, a glove presented by a higher authority, such as the emperor or an ecclesiastical dignitary, could be a sign of special favor - if it wasn't the proverbial gauntlet thrown down to someone to challenge them to a duel. Industrial gloves and the knowledge of their manufacture first reached other European countries from France, west of the Rhine the first glove makers' guild was founded as early as the 12th century. Some of our gardening gloves, supplied by the French manufacturer Rostaing, whose origins go back to a tannery that has existed since 1789, are probably part of this tradition. We distinguish among our work gloves for the garden those for the warmer and those for the cooler season. The thorn-proof models with extra-long cuffs are particularly suitable for working in dense undergrowth - although there is also a separate model for rose growers. For work in wet soil or rain-soaked plantations, we offer waterproof gloves made of polyamide. The lightweight gloves that protect against calluses and bruises during prolonged work with a rake or weeder are either made of leather or a specially developed knitted fabric. All our gardening gloves share a good fit and are designed with little or no restriction on finger movement.
