I was working at a factory and to say the folks than run it were tight was an understatement, if someone wore out a glove and went for a replacement they would issue one glove to replace the worn one!

I found a sack of work gloves on the road one time, great I thought until I got back & had a look, found they were all half pairs, all one hand. It must have been your bosses other hands
Indeed so. I can still "feel" the massive ouch from handling a piece of aluminium after my first try at TIG welding. The problem is aluminium never looks hot really. That coupled with thin gloves. Pain still lingers in my memory - and yet, strangely, no marks or blisters. Still hurt like hell though - never had that with normal gloves handling very hot bits of steel
Is that why there is a huge surplus of left hand gloves

Got the Tegera 17 gloves. Stick welding with them and I soon went back to wearing a big old red one on my left hand as the heat tbh transfers through them pretty quick to the point of ouch! Very comfy though on my right for the stick holder. Enough dexterity through them to reach to the left side of my mask and switch to grind mode & back.
