My long time friend, Peter, stopped buying these gloves because he was unable to buy rights, in Canada. I told him to forget about it. In other countries they cannot buy lefts. ;-)>
Exactly how I felt when I switched to Magnum XLI bought the same ones...
They made me proud that I now have XXL hands
It's a subtle Chinese way to instill self confidence in men.I have the same problem, just with condoms.
I didn't find size issues even during the pandemic when it was hard to find gloves for our lab. I actually had to call and talk to the suppliers and ask what they had in stock and then send the order based on that to our purchasers. The sizes have remained true though. However, if my memory serves me, the nitrile gloves I source(d) from scientific suppliers were/are made in Indonesia and/or Malaysia.^ I don't think it's only Harbor Freight. As I mentioned earlier in another thread, I was at Home Depot yesterday and tried on several pairs of their "Milwaukee" branded gloves, both "L" and "XL".
In their infinite wisdom, they decided to staple all of the right hand gloves shut, leaving only the left hand glove open to "try out".
This is an issue for me, as my right hand has been about half and inch longer than the left since I cut off a finger. Having monstrous hands is always an issue for me where it concerns gloves.
None of their "XL" gloves were large enough for my left hand, which actually didn't surprise me - I find that to be the case no matter the brand, no matter the store.
Yep, just like everything else these days, companies move around to different suppliers, usually depending on price.I realize nitrile should be much more consistent than cotton/poly/spandex, but man do jeans vary in size. I'm talking same brand, same style, same color, same bar code sitting on a shelf, and one is an inch longer leg length and thigh tightness is different.
When I stopped doing as much dirty field work I tried to move on from wrangler 13mwz jeans to something more "stylish" I found that nobody seems to believe in actual measurements.I realize nitrile should be much more consistent than cotton/poly/spandex, but man do jeans vary in size.

I find that if the gloves are too bad, it looks like shrinkage, but it's just an illusion. Or maybe it was cold that day.... I haven't bought any gloves lately, though, so I don't know about shrinkage.
