Title: Sources for traditional Cordovan tab gloves
Post by: Pmringer on January 09, 2018, 02:29:00 PM
I have tried various tabs, both three under and split as well as several style gloves including those with cordura tips and have found a classic cordovan tipped glove works best for me.  I shoot split much better and while the release and accuracy is good with the cordura tipped glove it is often louder and I get more frequent poor releases.  That being said the glove in the link has worked great but the durability is awful.  The tip stitching wears out in less than a few months.  Does anyone have any recommendations for something similar to the glove in the provided link that will hold up better?

I think the    E W Bateman (http://www.ewbateman.com/)   cordovan glove is what you’re looking for. It costs more than the one you linked, but it’s worth it.

Looks to be what I am looking for.  The one I am using keeps wearing out our the side of the finger so I think these should work.

Thanks!

Ive used tons of gloves, started making my own or replacing the leather tips. The one you linked is a bad design imo. I never use a glove were the stitching is located in the working area of the tip it wears the stitching.
