USGlove Company
Founded in
1878 as a men's fashion glove manufacturer in Gloversville, N.Y.,
The USGlove Company has always been a family business. The company
evolved through the 1900s into a leader in sports glove development:
 The
first U.S.
golf glove developed early in the century from lightweight mocha suede men's
formal gloves.
The
first commercially viable golf glove patent (the classic half-finger
"Shorty") in the 1930s.
The
revolutionary "Aviator" precurved glove patent.
The
first machine washable/dryable leather, now widely used in many types of
sports gloves.
USGlove Company's
leather division established a raw skin collection network in Africa decades ago and benefits today from the
continued reliable selection of Ethiopian cabrettas specifically chosen to be
the lightest weight prime grade skins. These raw skins are imported into Gloversville, N.Y. (the
200 year old home of the U.S.
glove leather tanning industry), and processed by advanced technology into
the highest performance golf glove leathers available.
USGlove Company's
leather division's latest development, BIOTAN, is used exclusively throughout
the USGlove Company's line. Its outstanding qualities are:
Processed
without the use of caustic, environmentally harmful chemicals. Every step of
the process is monitored and approved by the Environmental Protection Agency
so that the leather processing is harmless to the tannery workers and to the
glove's users, and does not create a hazard when finally disposed of. This
contrasts with many foreign tanneries, which use chemicals that are banned
here, such as formaldehyde and carcinogenic dyes.
Another
advantage of the BIOTAN process is the safe machine washability and
dryability of USGlove Company's golf gloves.
BIOTAN
is completely waterproof, yet wicks away moisture through its complex fiber
structure.
The finished
BIOTAN leather is then processed by satellite factories into the finest
quality and value priced golf gloves on the market. Being a vertically
operating golf glove manufacturer, added costs other suppliers incur are
eliminated.
USGlove
Company is the high quality, low cost leader in the field.
NOTE:
Please do not confuse the USGlove
Company with companies with the same or similar name. All products
from the USGlove Company will have the USG logo on the wrist strap of each glove.
