B. J. Sherriff Washable Leather Beekeeping Gloves
Choose a premium glove designed for beekeepers who value both hand protection and tactile control. These B. J. Sherriff gloves are handmade in Cornwall, England and combine supple lambskin hands with thick waterproofed canvas gauntlets.
Hornsby Beekeeping Supplies is the Australian supplier of Sherriff protective wear, making these gloves a specialist option for hobby and professional beekeepers seeking long-lasting equipment.
Supple Lambskin for Better Feel
Thick leather can reduce dexterity, making delicate frame work more difficult. In contrast, the lambskin used in these gloves is designed to remain supple enough to work by feel while still providing a substantial barrier over the hands.
The gloves are cut for a relatively snug fit and may stretch slightly with use. Therefore, correct sizing is important for achieving the intended balance between protection and movement.
Canvas Gauntlets for Arm Coverage
The hand section transitions into a waterproofed canvas gauntlet, secured below the elbow by a wide elasticated cuff.
Product highlights include:
- Supple lambskin leather
- Waterproofed canvas gauntlet
- Wide elastic cuff
- Handmade in Cornwall, England
- Designed for a close fit
- Hand or machine washable
- Care instructions included
The current buying options run from XS-5 through 4XL-12, with intermediate sizes available and stock varying by option. Each purchase is for one pair.
Washable for Regular Apiary Use
Unlike many leather products, these gloves can be washed either by hand or in a washing machine according to the supplied care instructions. This is useful when gloves accumulate propolis, dirt and general hive residue during repeated inspections.
Follow the provided instructions carefully to help maintain the softness and shape of the leather.
Premium Protection for Frequent Beekeepers
No glove can offer absolute protection against every sting, especially if the leather is pulled tightly against the skin. Nevertheless, the thicker leather construction is designed to substantially reduce direct exposure while retaining useful dexterity.

Good not great
By: Joel on 11 April 2022Love the glove materials and length, sizing is also good. What it needs is an elastic band or Velcro strap around the wrist to secure the fit over the hand.

Great gloves
By: Mark de Lacey on 14 March 2022The gloves are fantastic, thick but supple. Gauntlets are a bit of a pain, and could be shorter (I wear them with a jacket over the top), but definitely really protective

Excellent leather - short sleeve
By: George on 2 January 2018These gloves have the best leather amongst any other glove I have purchased in the past. The sleeve however is short and leaves the inner elbow vulnerable to stings.
