Spools of cotton yarn found at Safety’s knitting factory.

Our fully-integrated operation enables us to maintain low cotton string knit prices, even when cotton material costs may be increasing overall. From Puebla, we send the freshly spun cotton thread to our manufacturing facility in San Luis Potosi, Mexico, where over 1,000 knitting machines produce 3.7 million pairs of work gloves every month.

For those curious individuals out there, it takes 2 ½ minutes for a machine to knit one glove.

When it comes to cotton gloves, the variations are endless due to different weights, cotton designs, and styles. Most of the variation occurs because users require different types and levels of protection. Someone who is handling hot cooking pans will not wear the same cotton gloves as someone working outside in the garden.

There are eight different types of cotton gloves within MCR Safety’s product lineup. Here is a breakdown of each type:

  1. String Knit Styles – As highlighted above, these gloves are manufactured using a machine to knit the product in one piece, and this style is the most popular general-purpose glove worn today
  2. Canvas Styles – These are cut-n-sewn styles that use a woven cotton fabric made into a clute or reversible style glove.  Canvas material is known for being durable and heavy-duty. Keep in mind that a glove’s weight is determined by how much one square yard of fabric weighs, not its actual weight. It is based on the fabric’s weight in the palm of the hand.  Here are three of the most common glove weights:
    • 8 oz. glove – material weighs 8 oz./square yard
    • 10 oz. glove – material weighs 10 oz./square yard
    • 12 oz. glove – material weighs 12 oz./square yard
    Chore – Often used as general-purpose gloves, this style is constructed with a single layer of woven fleece material or two quilted fabric layers.

  3. Double Palms – Sometimes, a little extra padding or protection is called for, so these cotton gloves include a second layer of material sewn into the palm, providing the wearer with increased protection.  As with single layer canvas styles, an 18 oz. double palm doesn’t weigh 18 ounces.  Instead, it incorporates 18 ounces of fabric to manufacture the glove.
    Jersey – Ideal for work environments where light abrasion is likely, this glovestyle is cut-n-sewn and designed to be comfortable and flexible for the wearer.

     

  4. Inspector Gloves – This type of cotton work glove protects the product rather than the worker by offering protection against scratches or fingerprints.  You will find this glove used for lint-free applications and handling electronics.

    Hot Mills– Providing increased heat protection, these cotton gloves are constructed with multiple layers in the palm, fingers, and thumb area and are ideal for use in areas where heat contact is a must.  Traditionally, any cotton glove using more than 20 ounces of fabric has been viewed as a hot mill glove.

    Terrycloth Offering a small degree of heat and abrasion resistance, these glove styles are either made from knitted material or a cut-n-sewn design. The knitted versions come with loops out, providing a seamless, reversible pattern. Cut-n-sewn types offer additional heat protection due to the extra fabric used.
  5.  Coated and Dotted – Some cotton styles come with PVC dots to provide the wearer with increased gripping power and increased abrasion resistance. You will find stringed knit, double palms, jersey, and hot mills gloves in styles that come dotted on one side or both sides
  6. Keep in mind, that cotton gloves are manufactured with different percentages of blended material within each above category. As mentioned above, cotton easily blends with other materials, such as nylon and polyester. When you find low-priced cotton gloves, it most likely results from different blends added to the cotton.

In addition to different blends, you have different cotton designs.  Here is a quick snapshot of the different designs you may encounter within our cotton glove lineup:

  • Corded – fabric is made with a ribbed feel, similar to corded jeans. Corded canvas provides greater abrasion resistance versus standard woven canvas material.
  • Loop-In – knitted terrycloth loops face inward for better comfort. Loop-in allows for smoother material on the outside, which provides better abrasion resistance. You will often find these gloves used as insulation in cold environments.
  • Loop-Out – knitted terrycloth loops face outward, making the glove more heat-resistant. Loop-out allows better airflow, which cools the cotton material and creates a better heat barrier. Users who work around metal burrs and risk snagging the material every day should consider a loop-in option.
  • Nap-In– fuzzy napping material is on the inside of the woven glove. It creates a soft side on the glove’s interior, providing increased comfort and a slight heat barrier to the hand. With the coarser material on the outside, the user will gain better abrasion resistance.
  • Nap-Out – fuzzy napping material is outside the woven glove, which will provide the wearer with a better grip. In situations where leaving a mark is a concern, users will opt for the nap-in option.

Common Requests

Within the different cotton glove options we stock, users have noted which features they prefer. Here are some of the most common requests:

  • 100% Cotton  Due to cotton’s versatility, you’ll find all kinds of fibers blended with cotton. However, those who only want cotton seek out 100% cotton construction styles. Our 9506LM is made for that purpose.
