They were high quality and 2. To make them tough, we'd glom the pitch from leaky boards all over the working surface of the gloves.  It gets in the leather and coats the outside and turns it into armor...as long as you were using regularly, they wouldn't crack because of constant movement and all the sweat and oils getting in the glove.</blockquote>
