Jerko is the leather work glove brand we stock deepest. Not because they're the best gloves in the shop — they're not — but because they're the gloves that move by the case. Crews go through a pair of leather palms a week. Roofers, demo crews, masons, scrap-yard guys, landscapers in spring. The boss walks in Friday afternoon and buys a dozen pairs in size large. That's Jerko's lane.
What we keep on the shelf
Split-leather palm gloves — the standard cowhide or pigskin palm, cotton or canvas back, knit-wrist or safety cuff. The classic cheap-but-real work glove. We stock them in S/M/L/XL/2XL, by the box if you ask.
Gauntlet-cuff welder-style gloves — full leather construction, longer cuff that protects the forearm, for welding-adjacent work or heavy material handling. Not a real welding glove (those are heavier and longer) but enough for guys who handle warm metal occasionally.
Driver-style gloves — soft leather, unlined or fleece-lined, for warehouse and material-handling work where dexterity matters more than abrasion resistance.
Insulated leather palms for winter — cotton or Thinsulate lining, same split-leather palm.
Fit notes
Jerko sizing is honest. A medium fits a medium hand. Large fits a large hand. If you have long fingers, sometimes a size up gives you better fingertip room — knit-wrist gloves especially can feel short.
Leather softens with use. The first day they're stiff. Day three, they break in. By week one they're contoured to your hand.
Where it falls short
Jerko gloves are not premium. If you want a Mechanix-grade glove with breathable mesh and synthetic palm reinforcement and silicone grip pads, Jerko is the wrong brand. Jerko is the cheap-and-sturdy alternative — leather, simple, durable enough for a week or two of hard use, and replaceable.
Quality control varies pair to pair. We've had boxes where the stitching on one pair was looser than another. The price absorbs that — at this tier, you don't return one pair, you grab another from the box.
No real cut-resistance rating. Jerko leather palms are not ANSI A4 or A5 cut-rated. If your job specifies cut resistance, you need a different glove (we carry those too — different category).
Bottom line
Jerko is the box-of-gloves brand. Bulk price for crews, real leather palms, no pretense. The gauntlet-cuff style for material handling, the standard knit-wrist for demo and roofing, the lined version for winter. Come in, we'll set you up by the dozen.
