The Forester gloves are gorgeous, but much warmer, so I really haven’t worn them much. The elastic gusset across the knuckles gives them a lot more flexibility than similar leather gloves. They are so good-looking that I am tempted to take them out of my gardening tote and stick them in the car to be my winter driving gloves. They are definitely more flexible than my current driving gloves, which are made from polar fleece with leather palms.
Fields and Lane is new to gardening but not to gloves. It is an offshoot of Laughlin Cartrell, which makes gloves and other accessories for the lumber industry. I asked Nadia why they started making gardening gloves. “Although there are quite a few gardening gloves out there a small number of them have the quality and durability that this market deserves.” Did you hear that? Nadia thinks gardeners deserve quality and durability.
