Is there something special about them vs other gloves on the N American market?

Yes the leather was very different from the ones available in the states. Much softer and resistant then the ones made in Pakistan with a visible grain on the leather. ..also the cut and stiching slightly different. Just ordered 2 pairs and shipping was free so I'll find out soon if they last more then a summer

Interesting! I have a pair of 5.11 nomex short gloves that have treated me quite well, but I don't know where they were made.

 

Will consider these for a replacement!
