Universal household gloves. Good value for money.

About every 3-4 years I bought dozens of white cotton gloves directly from Magid Glove. Magid's prices are probably a bit lower than Amazon's, but you'll have to spend a lot of money to get free shipping. I've tried different styles and sizes, but I usually order men's because arthritis makes my hands and fingers larger than average. I particularly like this extra-long wrist version because I often wear it over plastic gloves, pull them over long sleeves, and then cover them with a knitted sleeve for insect protection. I also wear knitted sleeves over the gap between my socks and pants, which is part of my "outfit" for working outdoors. The preparation takes time, but it protects my clothes from bugs. I also carry some white (mite friendly) tape to keep my hair in place. My last defenses are a large, high-speed fan that I carry around the garden to blow off the bugs, and a portable parasol so I can work in the shade. Sorry I went off topic while discussing my insect control strategies. These gloves are too big for me, but they shrink. If they contract, I turn them inside out with one of the hemostats*. In any case, they feel more comfortable indoors. (Overlock seam allowances take up space inside.) *Example: https://www.amazon.com/AAPROTOOLS-ULTIMATE-HEMOSTAT-SET-6PC/dp/B01LYN9IVF/ref Cotton gloves have many uses. I like to buy by the dozen so I can change them several times a day when I'm working in the soil. I use them for gardening, cleaning the house, to moisturize my hands at night and to protect my skin from trimming when sewing. The only problem I have with them is that I hesitate to throw them out when the washing machine leaves them dirty but still usable. My new standard is dirty + torn or full of holes = throw away now. I find that tough garden dirt can be pre-washed with a hard jet from a syringe at the end of a hose, or better yet, a pressure washer on a hard surface. By prewashing they bring less sand into my washing machine. If you are looking for a glove liner, you will need a thicker cotton glove. I have some for this purpose to protect my skin from this rubber material with real gardening and work gloves. I always wash before use to remove factory dirt and oils. Gloves are interchangeable left and right. So instead of having several left gloves without a match, I just grab another glove. You should expect some bumps, which is not surprising. I know that I can never sew them perfectly even without pressure. The people sewing these gloves are most likely forced to produce large quantities in a short amount of time. I've rarely seen one that was so tight that I couldn't use it, but I often find one tighter than the others. For the money, that's a quality tolerance I can live with.
