    Where can I buy work gloves?

    Not sure if this should be in the shopping forum, but does anyone know where I can buy work gloves from? I've signed up for a Habitat for Humanity build in Guangdong next month, and they recommend that we bring our own gloves. Around Central would be preferred.

    What I'm looking for:

    If in Central, check out Wellington Street, West of the Escalator. There are a number of hardware stores along Wellington after you pass the escalator.

    Other recommendations are in Wanchai. If you know where the Paisano's is in Wanchai you'll find a few hardware / power tool shops right next to it at the MTR.

    There is also a place at Lockhart Road / Canal Road that seems to specialize in safety gear. I bought some ear protection there before I went to the Grand Prix in Macau.

    For something less technical all supermarkets sell cotton gloves - v v cheap. We use them hiking and when picking up rubbish.

    Thanks penguin, will take a walk down Wellington after work.

    Moving, we'll need something a little more heavy duty since the activities include digging foundations and tying steel rebar. Can't risk getting my manicure ruined!

    For future reference, managed to find a decent pair at Shing Hing Metalware & Paint on Wellington Street, it's right opposite Habibi Cafe. Cost me 12 bucks.
