Leather Driver Gloves Wholesale
We make leather driver gloves in cowhide grain and goatskin grain, plus split-back versions for value ranges. Close fitting, comfortable all day, and made in Sialkot, Pakistan for distributors, brands and importers.
What Makes a Good Driver Glove
Funny thing, a driver glove isn’t really about driving anymore. It’s the glove for jobs that need some protection and a lot of feel. Loading, warehouse picking, light assembly, landscaping, and yes, driving forklifts and trucks. Simple pattern, soft leather, a snug fit, nothing bulky.
Driver gloves are usually made from grain leather, the outer layer of the hide. It’s smoother and more supple than split leather, so the glove feels better in the hand and looks better on a shelf. The two leathers we use most are cowhide and goatskin, and they really do feel different.
If you’re stocking driver gloves or putting your own name on them, here’s what we make and how to choose between the options.
Our Leather Driver Gloves
Four builds that cover most driver glove ranges.
Cowhide grain driver gloves
The all-rounder. Cowhide grain is a bit thicker and very hard-wearing, so it lasts on rougher jobs and still feels smooth.
Goatskin grain driver gloves
Softer and more flexible, with excellent feel. Goatskin is naturally supple and surprisingly tough for how thin it is.
Straight thumb driver gloves
Our goatskin driver glove also comes in a straight thumb pattern. Some markets prefer it, so it is worth offering both.
Grain palm, split back
Cowhide grain on the palm, split leather on the back. It keeps the feel where it matters and brings the price down for value ranges.
Cowhide vs Goatskin Driver Gloves
Both are good. They just suit different buyers.
| Cowhide grain | Goatskin grain | |
|---|---|---|
| Feel | Smooth, a little firmer | Very soft and flexible |
| Durability | Excellent on rougher work | Good, and tough for its thickness |
| Breaking in | Needs a little wear | Comfortable almost straight away |
| Best for | Loading, landscaping, general handling | Driving, picking, light assembly, retail ranges |
Need something tougher and cheaper for heavy handling? Our split leather work gloves are built for that.

Why Buyers Choose Our Driver Gloves
Driver gloves are judged in the hand. Buyers pick them up, feel the leather, check the stitching, and decide in about ten seconds. So we’re careful with the leather. Ours comes from Leather Working Group gold members, and we’ve been working with it for over 20 years.
Our plant is ISO certified, has passed inspections by leading brands, and can make up to 100,000 pieces a month across the range, so repeat orders stay consistent.

Leather Driver Gloves Wholesale for US Buyers
Driver gloves are a steady seller in the US. Contractors, delivery drivers, ranch hands and warehouse crews all wear them, and plenty of people buy a pair for the garage too. The buyers we work with tend to want two things: a soft grain leather that feels good straight out of the pack, and sizing that matches what American customers expect. Both are easy to set up at the sample stage.
Cowhide is the everyday choice. It’s tough, it’s affordable and it breaks in quickly. Goatskin costs a bit more, but it’s thinner and more flexible, and it holds up well when it gets wet and dries out again. Many distributors stock one of each, a cowhide driver for value and a goatskin driver for the premium shelf.
How shipping to the USA works
Most of our driver gloves go out by sea from Karachi to the big US ports: New York and New Jersey, Savannah, Houston, and Los Angeles or Long Beach. Sea freight is the cheap way to move full cartons, and it usually takes four to six weeks door to door. In a hurry? Small and urgent orders can fly from Sialkot instead. It costs more, but the boxes land in about a week.
We quote FOB or CIF, and DDP when you’d rather not deal with customs yourself. Samples come by courier (DHL or FedEx) in a few days, so you can feel the leather before you commit to a bulk order. Leather gloves usually clear under HS heading 4203.29. Your customs broker will confirm the exact code and duty rate for your product, and we send the commercial invoice, packing list and certificate of origin with every shipment. First time importing from Pakistan? Our guide to importing work gloves from Sialkot walks through it step by step.
US standards for driver gloves
Driver gloves are general purpose gloves, so most US buyers sell them without a cut rating. If your customers need an ANSI/ISEA 105 rating for abrasion or puncture, tell us when you ask for a quote and we’ll talk through testing for that style. We won’t print a claim the glove hasn’t been tested for.
Need something heavier for rough jobs? Our leather palm rigger gloves handle more abuse, and our leather welding gloves take over where heat and sparks come in. Private label details are on our services page.
