What does it do: These gloves, made with a pretty purple paisley cotton twill, have an extended cuff with a pull cord allowing the gardener to tighten the glove around the arm to prevent things from getting inside. The palms are made of synthetic leather. The gloves are great for pruning and cleaning fall leaves from shrubbery. They come in small, medium and large and sell for $29.
