Watson Gloves, a 106-year old company founded in Vancouver, Canada supplying quality gloves across North America, launches limited edition Major League Baseball (MLB) branded work gloves which are now available in select dealer locations and online through watsongloves.com.

Watson Gloves, a 106-year old company founded in Vancouver, Canada supplying quality gloves across North America, was recently awarded the highest form of recognition – the 2024 Supplier of the Year award by the Indica Marketing Group for their outstanding performance this year.

Watson Gloves, a 105-year old company founded in Vancouver, Canada supplying quality gloves across North America, has appointed Surpless, Dunn & Co (SDC) as its industrial channel representative providing hand protection to the USA region.

As an official licensee, Watson Gloves will proudly be releasing limited edition MLB branded work gloves which will be available in select dealer locations and online partners starting in Spring 2024.

Watson Gloves has partnered with 3M™ Thinsulate™ to release a new line of industrial gloves made with sustainable insulation. Available this fall in 15 styles, the new Watson Gloves line features 3M Thinsulate Type EC, containing 78% fibers made from post consumer recycled plastic water bottles.

Watson Gloves, a leader in distributing and manufacturing retail and industrial work gloves, currently in their 104th year of business, is pleased to announce the signing of an agreement for its first USA warehouse in Memphis, Tennessee.

Watson Gloves is proud to announce that they have been certified for exceptional workplace culture by The Canadian Workplace Culture Index, the leading Canadian measure of workplace culture.

To be certified as a Culture Innovator, companies must exceed the national benchmark for exceptional culture. Organizations who are leading the way amid the pandemic, and who are demonstrating care for their employees, their customers and their communities during this difficult time. Employees are given an anonymous survey where the answers are ranked against the industry leader, and then an organization will be certified if they meet the benchmark.

Watson Gloves and Herschel have partnered together to create the limited edition Herschel Shop Glove. This collaboration brings two iconic Canadian companies together to make a premium full-grain leather tan glove, which features a Woodland Camo thumb and trim, and finished with a debossed Herschel Supply logo on the back of hand and debossed Watson Gloves logo on the finger. The Herschel Shop Gloves can be found exclusively at herschel.com.

Watson Gloves is partnering up with Canadian Tire to release a collection of new eco-conscious WasteNot™ gloves under Canadian Tire’s Yardworks brand. Yardworks WasteNot™ gloves, which are made of recycled PET plastic bottles, will add more sustainable offerings under the outdoor product consumer brand. By including Yardworks WasteNot™ gloves into Canadian Tire’s product portfolio, plastic bottles will be diverted from landfills, and instead, be sustainably reused as practical consumer products.

Watson Gloves is elevating their sustainable glove development by introducing the first landfill biodegradable nylon coated gloves into the market. With biodegradable additive in both the nylon shell and nitrile coating, the landfill biodegradable seamless knit gloves are able to break down in five years in modern landfills compared to the many decades it takes for other similar synthetic gloves to degrade.

Watson Gloves is partnering up with Paul Bissonnette (“BizNasty”), former NHL player and co-host of the #1 hockey podcast Spittin’ Chiclets of Barstool Sports, to launch a humorous video in a time when we all need a good laugh. Biz uses his creative freedom for this video to unleash his outspoken personality and act out his new hobbies outside of the pod using his new gloves in amusing (and cheeky) ways.

Watson Gloves is proud to be the first in the glove industry to release gloves made of recycled plastic bottles into the market through the use of WasteNot™ yarn. It is the latest in sustainable glove developments and will allow post-consumer recycled materials see a second life in high-quality gloves without any compromise in quality or performance.

We are proud to announce our partnership with Wounded Warriors Canada, a national mental health charity supporting Canada’s ill & injured Veterans, first responders and their families. Watson Gloves is donating partial proceeds from the sales of Commander and Shock Trooper to Wounded Warriors.

Our first landfill biodegradable disposable glove has launched. These nitrile disposables breaks down in only 8-11 years, as compared to 200 years with regular nitrile disposables. Once the biodegradation process begins, the additives in the Green Monkey™ nitrile disposables will ensure that they do not just break down into smaller plastic pieces, but are actually converted to biogas like other organic materials.
