The short answer
You can source goatskin, cow split and cow grain leather gloves, cotton and mixed work gloves, hi-vis driver gloves and armoured motorcycle gloves from Pakistani manufacturers, often with your own label. For safety use, ask for test reports to the standard your market uses, such as EN 388 in Europe, and order samples before the main order.
Types of gloves you can source
- Mechanic and assembly gloves. Full-finger gloves in goatskin or synthetic leather with a reinforced palm and, on some models, impact protection on the back of the hand.
- Rigger and heavy-duty gloves. Cow split or goat and cow grain leather with a safety cuff or gauntlet cuff for rough handling and construction work.
- Driver gloves. Light leather gloves for driving and general handling, including hi-vis driver styles.
- Cotton and knit work gloves. Plain knit and dotted-grip gloves for light, low-cost tasks.
- Motorcycle and armoured gloves. Gloves with hard knuckle guards, padding and reinforced fingers for riders.
- Impact-protection gloves. Gloves with a TPR (thermoplastic rubber) protective layer, usually marked to an impact standard.
Choosing the leather
The leather decides how a glove feels, wears and costs. Ask suppliers to state the leather type and thickness in the quote.
| Leather | Typically used for | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Goatskin | Mechanic, driver and assembly gloves | Often soft and flexible with good grip. Common for gloves that need feel. |
| Cow split leather | Rigger and heavy-duty gloves | Tough and abrasion resistant. Usually a more economical choice for rough work. |
| Cow grain leather | Rigger and general work gloves | Smoother, stronger outer layer than split leather. |
| Synthetic or leather-like palm | Mechanic gloves where cost matters | Check the wear life and ask for a sample. |
Standards and tests to ask about
Gloves sold as protection must meet the rules of the market they are sold in. Pointers for the most common ones are below. Confirm the exact requirement with your importer or a safety adviser.
- EN 388. A European standard that rates gloves for mechanical risks such as abrasion, cuts, tears and punctures. Ask for the test report and the rating on the glove.
- EN ISO 21420. General requirements for protective gloves, including sizing, materials and marking.
- ANSI/ISEA 105 and ANSI/ISEA 138. North American standards for hand protection and for impact protection on gloves.
- Leather chemistry. Buyers in the EU often ask about restricted substances in leather, such as chromium VI. Ask the supplier what testing they can provide.
- Marking and labels. Sizes, care instructions, standard pictograms and your own brand label all need to be on the glove or its packaging.
What to tell suppliers when you ask for a quote
- Use. Mechanic, rigger, driver, motorcycle or general work. The use decides the leather and the protection.
- Size range and split. Which sizes you need and how many of each.
- Colours and trims. Palm, back, cuff and stitching colours, and any hi-vis or reflective parts.
- Extras. Impact pads, knuckle guards, safety cuff, touchscreen fingertips or lining.
- Branding and packing. Your logo, labels, hangtags, polybags or cartons, and how many pairs per carton.
- Destination. The market you are selling in, so the supplier can state which standards they can test to.
Minimum order, samples and lead time
Minimum orders and prices vary by supplier and by how custom the glove is. A standard style in stock is usually quicker and cheaper to order than a glove made to your pattern and colours. Ask for a written quote that states the price per pair, the minimum order, the lead time and the packing.
Always order samples first. Check the stitching, the fit across sizes, how the leather feels after wearing and, for protective gloves, that the markings match the test report. We can help arrange samples and an independent inspection before shipment.

Frequently asked questions
Who makes leather work gloves in Pakistan?
Gloves are made in several industrial cities, with Sialkot the best known. Suppliers on Baramdat list their city and the glove types they make, so you can compare them side by side.
Can I get gloves made with my own brand and design?
Yes. Many manufacturers do private-label work, including your logo, labels, colours and packaging. Branded or custom-pattern gloves usually have a higher minimum order than standard styles.
Which standard should my safety gloves meet?
It depends on where you sell. In Europe, mechanical-risk gloves are usually rated to EN 388, and general requirements are in EN ISO 21420. In North America, buyers often ask for ANSI/ISEA 105 or 138. Ask the supplier for test reports and confirm the requirement with your importer.
What is the difference between goatskin and cow split leather gloves?
Goatskin is usually softer and more flexible, so it is common in mechanic and driver gloves. Cow split leather is tougher and more economical, so it is common in rigger and heavy-duty gloves. Ask the supplier for the leather type and thickness in the quote.
What is the minimum order for work gloves?
It differs by supplier and by how custom the glove is. Ask each supplier for a written quote that states the minimum order, the price per pair, the lead time and the packing.
Can I order samples first?
Yes, and we recommend it. Check the stitching, the fit across sizes and the markings before placing the main order. We can help arrange and forward samples.
Do you also help with motorcycle and driving gloves?
Yes. Suppliers on Baramdat list motorcycle gloves with knuckle guards and padding and leather driving gloves as well as work gloves. Send us your requirement and we will match suppliers.
