Ideas on how to store MANY Work gloves?

[Rusty Heap]

okay, this may seem like a really silly question, but I own a ton of work gloves in my shop. Dozens and dozens of pairs of gloves.

Thick canvas gloves.
Welding long cuff leather gloves.
Gardening cotton gloves.
Rubber dipped Cotton Gloves
Thin raw-hide leather chainsaw use/type nimble car driving/horse riding gloves.
Summer Dirtbike riding gloves.
Winter ATV gloves.
Snow Skiing thick insulated gloves
Rubber Chemical Gloves.
.........and on and on and on............then add even the wifes glove sizes too, so now you have a medium set and a large/XL set.

I've got a huge shop so it's not storage space, it's trying to stay organized.

I used to have an old bedroom dresser in my shop with 2-3 drawers of gloves all lumped in amongst themselves. Of course digging through you'd find 4 right hand gloves and no lefts, or jumbled all together.

Recently the old wooden dresser fell apart after 30-40 years of use, so I'm needing new ideas. Maybe something like shoe storage with individual open nooks, or some very small drawers about P.O. Box size that can keep things organized with 24-36 compartments? Maybe a wooden dowel peg board grouping gloved sets?


Might be a very gayyy sounding metro-sexual question, but for all the other man-cave wrenching shop/garage/land-owner/ranchers out there, how do you organize your gloves if you own many functionally different numerous pairs?

The Martha Stewart in me says thanks. The Tim Allen in me says you can never own too many tools or sets of gloves.

cut ya some 4" pvc pipe into 6" lengths bolt it together like a office mail box area and you will have a slot for each type of glove. If you have alot of the same types maybe go to 6" pipe...

I just keep the welding gloves with the welder, the heavy leather ones with the torch, ect.

i have a team searching for an old card catalog for me.!! i'll use it in my next kitchen.

for the gloves..binder clip them together and store them in a big rubber bin.

why not give them to a bunch of teenagers (then get them to do some work)

We use a door mounted shoe bag for gloves and hats. These can be had on the cheep at Target or Wallyworld for around $10 and hold 24+ pair

We've bought these for shows before as set dressing in a kitchen for spices...

I have a 5 gallon plastic bucket hanging in the garage with all of my gloves in it. Works for me...

Unless you like that look Cliff, how about cutting slots in your drawer with dividers in them to separate whatever you want to put into those tiny card catalog drawers.

Use a hanging fabric shoe organizer like this one, or that one.

get an old refrigerator, they can be found cheap or free, put a 40 watt bulb in it and store to your heart's content. Also good for welding rods and other things that need to be keep dry.
