It depends on the job. Lightweight cotton or knit gloves are perfect for general weeding and planting. Leather or heavy-duty fabric gloves are essential for prickly jobs like roses and brambles. Waterproof rubber-coated gloves handle wet conditions and chemical contact. Many gardeners keep three pairs — light, heavy, and waterproof — within reach.

Do you offer different sizes?

Yes — most of our gloves come in small, medium, and large at minimum. Some specialist gloves offer XS and XL too. Sizing is critical for gardening gloves: too loose and you lose dexterity, too tight and they limit hand movement and become uncomfortable quickly. Measure across the palm and check the size chart on individual product pages.

Are your gloves machine washable?

Cotton and knit gloves generally are — cool wash, air dry, and they will look freshly bought. Leather gloves should not go in the machine; wipe clean and condition occasionally with a leather product. Rubber-coated gloves can be rinsed and hung to dry. Each product listing indicates care instructions.

What about kneeling pads and aprons?

A good kneeling pad makes hours of gardening genuinely pleasant rather than painful — saves your knees, keeps trousers dry, and acts as a place to put your tools. Aprons with pockets are similarly transformative; you'll wonder how you managed without somewhere to drop spent flower heads, twine, and your phone.
