Mechanix or knockoff are the best for dexterity, but they wear out fast.

Goatskin work gloves are a good compromise. Cheap ones (Harbor Freight tier, pic related) wear out fast but nice ones can last quite a while. A well-fitting, well-made pair is worth the investment imo, they are miles ahead of old fashioned work hamfists.

Not OP, but I've never found a pair of gloves that fit well. Where would I look for such a thing?
I once tried to diy a falconry gauntlet, but that didn't go well.

Trade specialty stores. Welding stores, machinists, sheet metal, etc. Still tough to find.

Old-school hardware stores used to carry them (Osh, Ace, etc) but they are all out of business now, at least in my area.

Honestly, best bet may be to order online from somewhere that has a good return policy.

Get the HF shit for now though, they work pretty well for 6 bucks, they just bust open at the seems after a bit of abuse.

Try TIG welding gloves, the thin ones, from your local welders supply. They hold up well and have good dexterity because you need that to TIG

Image search "tillman tig gloves" to see what they look like. I wear mine motorcycling too.

These are great. A little on the thin side, but I see people using them as steel handling and general purpose gloves all the time. I prefer drivers gloves because they don't have the extended cuff and the cowhide ones are cheap and take abuse well. The 24cl tig gloves are baby goat skin and tend to shrink or harden when you abuse them. The 1414 drivers gloves still have much better dexterity than any cheap work gloves that you'll find at big box stores and are stitched with kevlar. They even make them in deerskin if you want that velvet glove feel (864). I've been using a pair of the reinforced 1464's for over 6 months now and I'll probably get another pair of the same when they die.

mechanix 4x original, don't get any of the gimmicky ones with the plastic and shit.

I have been doing general construction, demolition and roofing for about 10 years, and these are the best gloves I've ever had. I could blow through a pair of leather gloves in 2 weeks when I'm moving demo scrap, like fingers completely torn of and stuff.

the mechanix gloves I have lasted about 4 months before the fingers tore open. that's a helluva lot better than 2 weeks.

I got a pack of 3 pairs of wells Lamont gloves from Costco for like 25 bucks, they are entirely leather, I have yet to have them fail me. I keep a pair in my car, my garage, and my shed. Used them to extricate a vehicle, did fine with broken glass no damage. moved a ton (actual ton) of cement paving stones by hand from the ground to a pallet to another pile, and I still use them with minor abrasion. Used them for when I ran my bloomery furnace ( gloves stained with coal dust now) my hands were fine. A+ would buy again, but I might not have to since that was all one pair

Why not a few throw away pairs like these? Ive done a lot of tile removal and these keep me from leaking aids everywhere

Mechanix framers gloves are my favorite pair I've ever owned.

I like these also the deer hide ones are great for not getting blisters

Mechanix 4x are probably my favorite. Followed closely by black stallion and Tillman leather work gloves.

Always buy gloves locally if you want them to fit.

West Chester Work Gloves! I usually buy 2 pairs every other year, and I do everything in them. Note, they tend to run a little small, but worth it considering the price.

Try old school feed stores, or maybe a grainger. I wore goatskin back in my feed mill days. they were more than the deerskin but thinner and lasted longer.

Another tip might be to soak them in water and wear them dry. I have small hands and my harley motorcycle gloves never fit will well till one day I got caught in a rain storm and by the time the rain was over and the ride was done, they fit perfectly.
I did the same to the kind of gloves in OP's pic. much better fit now.

Carhartt leather/synthetic work gloves....I've owned several pairs....Not because they've worn out but because I lost them. I use them to saw wood or just to keep my hands warm in the fall.
