Vermont Glove
Vermont Glove Flatlander Work Glove
The Flatlander from Vermont Glove is the nimblest, lightest weight leather work glove in the line, built for maximum dexterity without giving up rugged protection. It’s crafted from goat leather—specifically a 3-ounce, full-grain hide with inseams—to support precise, tactile control on small parts and tools. The glove is hand sewn, a detail that speaks to the care and durability behind everyday use. Made in America is a core thread for this glove: Vermont Glove emphasizes its domestic craft, with the Flatlander positioned within a Vermont-made, handmade-in-Vermont lineage that the brand has sustained since 1920. The gloves are described in product and collection pages as handcrafted in Vermont, highlighting American-made craftsmanship and heritage.

The company’s pages and related materials repeatedly frame it as a Made in Vermont product, underscoring domestic production and traditional hand-sewn construction.
