Ok, I know there is a thread about Tillman welding gloves but wanted to start a new thread so folks would see it instead of being buried at the bottom of an existing thread.
American made welding gloves. Here is the website of the manufacturer,
http://www.shelbyglove.com/I contacted them today(2-15-13) and spoke with them. They ARE 100% American made in Arkansas. Their home office is in Germantown, Tennessee. They also use 100% American made materials, I asked that question as well. I have not priced them out yet. You cannot buy direct from them but she gave me two phone numbers of distributors where you can call and order them.
First Place was Wilson's I believe, search on the phone number is showing up Galena Park, Texas. They are a distributor of the Shelby gloves and order welding gloves. The phone number is 713-675-2421
The next place is called Shannon Safety Products, search on phone number is showing Bridgeville, Pa. They are also a distributor of the Shelby gloves. Phone number, 412-257-4700
I'm not sure of pricing on the gloves as I have not called either place yet. To late in the day, it's Friday and I am off the clock!!! LOL!!
I hope this helps out, told them there were a bunch of welders on a website that were fed up with Chinese made gloves that cost a fortune while the guy in China making them gets paid $2 a day. I'm going to give them a call and find out costs on Monday.
