I don't know how many years I had them but at least 10.

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Those yellow ones dye my hands and I freak out because I think my liver's finally kicked the bucket.
have you thought of using glove liners?
I don’t think often.
Got a real chuckle with that one
10+ is a good life for gloves. I've found water is what kills mine the fastest - I've taken to oiling them a little after wet work
+1 for oiling your leathers! The wet/dry cycle killed my Danners in less than a year due to my lack of care.
Those are some well worn gloves man. As for my pair, I had them for less than a year and they got holes in the fingertips. Not because of wear and tear, but because some mouse/mice decided to be resourceful in our garage, for their nest.
I started using leather conditioner on my work gloves and it probably doubles the lifespan if you use it regularly. Especially if they get wet or contact soil, that really pulls the oils out.
What kind of work do you use them for?
Mainly yardwork, and the occasional fence build
I’m debating on switching to leather gloves. I keep getting holes in the mechanic gloves I buy from Home Depot. They have saved my fingers when using the grinder but they seem to disintegrate really fast. Maybe I’m just an idiot that needs to stay away from power tools though.
Using power tools is a pretty fun way to be an idiot though. If you're grinding, you may be getting hot metal bits melting synthetics so leather could be a good option. I use leather gloves for most everything - exceptions being electrical/chemical work and gutter cleaning/some gardening
I would love to know the brand
Wells Lamont Cowhide Leather gloves - bought at Ace for about $18. But had a coupon for $5 off 🙂
Edit: since it isn't pictured, I recommend the ones with the drawstring on the back
