These gloves were quite a disappointment - generally we know that carhartt doesnt disappoint as a rule so we come to expect quality - also generally I have found as a big person that they make sizes to fit and that they hold pretty true - I bought XXL gloves that I cannot even get my hands into regardless of the strap ...very tight getting into these and again as I said XXL usually means XXL but not here - i have not even gottent the gloves on and there are seams that are obviously poised to unravel - i would not consider these for work and they are not nice enough for everyday - my dog likes chewing on them though so maybe he got a Christmas gift
