G/FORE is a golf-lifestyle brand founded in Beverly Hills, California, in 2011 by fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, best known for launching the Mossimo apparel label in 1986. Giannulli built G/FORE around a stated goal of a golf lifestyle brand that was "hipper, younger and more outspoken" than the market, starting with brightly colored leather golf gloves before expanding into golf shoes, bags, and men's and women's apparel and accessories. The brand's look mixes traditional golf tailoring with fashion-driven color and print, breaking from the muted country-club norm. In January 2018, Peter Millar - a Raleigh, North Carolina, luxury apparel company owned by the Swiss group Richemont - acquired G/FORE for an undisclosed sum, after the two brands had previously collaborated on a golf shoe. G/FORE has continued operating and expanding under Peter Millar's ownership, adding standalone stores in Scottsdale, Arizona; Palm Beach, Florida; and New York City. In November 2024 it opened a two-story flagship at 401 N. Canon Drive in Beverly Hills - its fourth retail location - finished in the brand's signature pink with pastel accents and stocking golf shoes, bags, accessories and performance apparel for men and women.
Centralia / USA
Geier Glove Company was founded in 1927 in Centralia, Washington by the Geier brothers, and the company has stayed in that same town making leather gloves and moccasins for close to a century.
Best for Family-run Pacific Northwest leather work, dress, and driving gloves since 1927
Geier Glove Company was founded in 1927 in Centralia, Washington by the Geier brothers, and the company has stayed in that same town making leather gloves and moccasins for close to a century. Its own site frames the standard simply: "attention to detail with regard to fit, wear, and comfort has been important" since the brothers started the business, and every piece is still made in the U.S.A.
The catalogue covers work, dress, driving, and riding gloves for men and women, built from what the company describes as the best leathers available for glove and moccasin making, and offered in full and half sizes rather than a generic universal fit — a small but telling detail for a maker whose business is literally hand coverings. Moccasins round out the line as a secondary product, but gloves remain the core of what Geier does and has always done.
There's no origin myth or celebrity backstory here, just a family glove shop in the Pacific Northwest that kept its production domestic while much of the American glove industry didn't. Best suited to buyers looking for honest, regionally made leather workwear and driving gloves rather than a fashion-house name.
Bend / USA
Deerskin, elk, and bison work and riding gloves, hand-cut in Oregon since 1941.
Best for Deerskin, elk, and bison work and riding gloves, hand-cut in Oregon since 1941
Sullivan Glove Company has been cutting and stitching leather gloves in Bend, Oregon since 1941, and its own site describes it plainly as "one of the last US glove makers." Eighty-plus years in, the company still runs on the same commitment it states outright: "enduring craftsmanship since 1941." That longevity matters in a trade where most American glove factories closed or moved production overseas decades ago; Sullivan kept its cutting and sewing at home.
The range is built around hide, not novelty: deerskin, elkskin, bison, and goat, worked into form-fitting patterns across classic, motorcycle, work, hunting, rodeo and ranch, and cold-weather lines, plus a wool category and footwear. Named pieces like the Deerskin Roper, Elk Roper, and Buffalo Shorty read as working gloves first — cut for grip and wear rather than styled as accessories — and a limited-run cowhide wildland fire glove signals a maker still supplying real occupational use, not just heritage retail.
For a directory built on trade rather than branding, Sullivan is a straightforward case: a small-town American manufacturer that never stopped making the thing it started with. Best suited to anyone after genuine American work and riding leather, hide-specific and pattern-cut rather than mass die-cut.
