Muck Boots 'n' Slickers - Life of a Livestock Hauler

Welp




@tramm01
I bought 150 pairs when you recommended them few years back.
Snatched out the very last pair today: went to see about re ordering and I’m #### out of luck.


Best gloves I ever had by a big margin.
####.



anybody got any suggestions for good work gloves, top of the list is American Made.
And don’t anybody send me that Vermont glove $150 a pair for sheep gloves bull ####

 

Locally we could pick Yellowstone gloves up at most fuel stops or convenience stores. I sure miss them. They seem to have been replaced around here by a company called Rocky Mountain Gloves. Elkskin C Grade "Rough" Factory Seconds - Rocky Mountain Glove Distributing

 

I was gonna tag you and missed it.
I knew my man @Oxbow would come thru!
Gonna call and order monday.
Thank you Brother.

 

They are not as good and a bit more expensive than the old Yellowstone gloves, but they are a darn site better than Wells Lamont and the other big names in my opinion.

 

It’s hard to beat good elk skin gloves. I buy some locally that are made by American Stag I believe. They are not near as good as the Yellowstone gloves I ordered. I think I may try what @Oxbow posted too

 

If you needed 150 pairs of them then they weren't very good IMO. I've never ripped a pair of Kinco Buffalo hide gloves flatbedding or hauling cattle and I would rip a pair of cowhide gloves every week flatbedding. I only ever got new ones cause they got so filthy or I lost one.

 

I wear the finger tips out/
Kinco’s last me 4 work days and the stitching comes out of the finger sides.

 

Definitely a heart breaker— think I got 1 new pair left and when they wear out I’m retiring

 

Same here.
Throwing straps and running 10-12 ratchets on a flatbed on every load, and 2-4 loads a day murders the finger tips and side of the index fingers on a pair of gloves.
Add moisture in the winter and I can destroy a set of gloves pronto.
I carry two pair in the winter, rotate pairs on every load, and the wet pair goes on the floor under the floor vents to dry. Helps them live a little longer.

 

Exactly right.
