<p>Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding, also known as Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW), is an arc welding process that produces a weld with a non-consumable tungsten electrode. It requires a high level of detail and precision for beading. Gloves used in this application need great dexterity, are unlined as less heat is emitted and are often made from deer or goatskin leather.</p>

SEE TIG APPLICATIONS </h3>
<div class="mega-panel" style="margin-bottom: 0px;background:;border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0px;border-style: solid;border-color:">
The TIG welding technique is commonplace in many industries including: manufacturing, aerospace, bicycles, automobiles, and thin, delicate workpieces. It’s especially ideal for nonferrous thin/lightweight metals and produces a clean, smooth weld. Suitable metals include: nickel alloys, copper, aluminum, stainless steel, alloy steel, and magnesium.</p>
<p>TIG welding is great for welding thinner metals (up to 5mm) because the process doesn’t reach high temperatures and won’t burn through like Stick will.</p>
<p>This welding technique produces a high-quality weld because it allows the welder greater control over the surface area. TIG is much slower since welders cannot move the weld pool and cannot supply ller rods as quickly as they can in MIG welding. Also, it requires a high level of detail, which can slow the process down. </div>

<p>Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding is an arc welding process that uses a continuous solid wire electrode heated and fed into the weld pool from a welding gun. MIG workers operate welding guns with a trigger so gloves used in this application need to have a bit of dexterity. They should also be lined, with a back patch, and are often made from elk or cowhide leather to protect from mid to high heat and splatter.</p>

SEE TIG APPLICATIONS </h3>
<div class="mega-panel" style="margin-bottom: 0px;background:;border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0px;border-style: solid;border-color:">
The TIG welding technique is commonplace in many industries including: manufacturing, aerospace, bicycles, automobiles, and thin, delicate workpieces. It’s especially ideal for nonferrous thin/lightweight metals and produces a clean, smooth weld. Suitable metals include: nickel alloys, copper, aluminum, stainless steel, alloy steel, and magnesium.</p>
<p>TIG welding is great for welding thinner metals (up to 5mm) because the process doesn’t reach high temperatures and won’t burn through like Stick will.</p>
<p>This welding technique produces a high-quality weld because it allows the welder greater control over the surface area. TIG is much slower since welders cannot move the weld pool and cannot supply ller rods as quickly as they can in MIG welding. Also, it requires a high level of detail, which can slow the process down. </div>

<div class="wpb_text_column wpb_content_element " >
<div class="wpb_wrapper">
<p>Conductive heat resistance testing measures the insulation provided by the glove when exposed to and in contact with a hot surface. The ASTMF1060-08 test measures the time it takes a person wearing PPE to develop a second-degree burn when exposed to a certain temperature. Three aspects are taken into consideration:</p>
<ul>
<li>Time to second-degree burn – the time it takes for a person wearing PPE to get second-degree burns when exposed to a given temperature</li>
<li>Time to pain – the time it takes for a person wearing PPE to feel pain when exposed to a given temperature</li>
<li>Alarm time – the amount of time between time to pain and time to second degree burn</li>
</ul>
<p>The glove’s conductive heat resistance is measured according to the levels listed below:</p>
</div>
</div>
</div></div></div></div><div class="vc_row wpb_row vc_inner vc_row-fluid"><div class="wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-6"><div class="vc_column-inner"><div class="wpb_wrapper">
<div class="wpb_text_column wpb_content_element " >
<div class="wpb_wrapper">
<p>The levels are read as the highest contact temperature at which time to second-degree burn is at least 15 seconds and alarm time is at least 4 seconds. In other words, each level is the maximum temperature where you have at least 15 seconds before you get a second-degree burn and at least 4 seconds of warning for you to react to the pain and move away from the heat source.</p>
<p>For instance, a glove with a Level 2 rating can withstand up to 140°C/284°F for at least 15 seconds before you are injured by a second-degree burn and at least 4 seconds of warning time where you can move away from the heat and avoid any burns</p>
<p>* Note: Contact heat test is only performed on the palm – does not guarantee heat resistance on back of hand</p>

The <a href="/products/94005-red-baron-winter-mitt/?cat=777">94005</a> and <a href="/products/94001-red-baron-witner-gauntlet/?cat=777">94001</a> models now include a <a href="/product_categories/fabric-materials/wastenot-yarn/">WasteNot</a>™ spandex back made from 96% recycled PET bottles, adding eco-consciousness to their tough design. Reinforced with hard-wearing cowhide leather across the back of the hand, a wrap-around index finger, and a leather pulse guard, these gloves provide extra protection in high-wear areas without sacrificing the comfort <a href="/product_categories/brands/red-baron/?refine=322">Red Baron</a> is known for.</p>
<p>And, of course, what hasn’t changed is that classic leather combo fit. Slip them on, get to work, and when the day’s done, toss ‘em in the truck bed knowing they’ll be ready for whatever tomorrow brings. No fuss, no frills — just a solid glove built for hard work.</p>

<p>When it comes to demanding winter jobs, you need work gloves that don’t back down. “<strong><a href="/?s=9398">Triple Threat</a></strong>” is aptly named, offering a threefold defense against impacts, cuts, and the harsh duo of water and cold. This glove doesn’t just protect; it stands out in the toughest conditions.</p>
<p>Beyond winter-ready hand-protection, “Triple Threat” brings a quantifiable sustainability edge. Made with WasteNot™ polyester knit made from recycled plastic bottles (rPET), each pair diverts 2.5 of those 500 mL bottles away from landfills. Plus, it saves on 36g of CO2 emissions compared to using standard polyester. Weather protection, hazard protection, and sustainability—all in one. That’s a “Triple Threat.”</p>

<p>My name is Bruce Dally, and I’ve been with Watson Gloves for 49 years. My journey began on March 11th, 1975, when I started as a truck driver, servicing retail and industrial accounts around the Lower Mainland. From there, I moved into retail sales, looking after garden shops, home improvement centers, and hardware stores. My responsibilities grew over time, expanding to larger customers and the industrial side, including sawmills and pulp mills in the Interior East Kootenays. Eventually, I became the General Sales Manager. In 2007, when we opened the facility in Mississauga, I transitioned into the VP of Sales and Marketing. During this time, I hired the marketing department and oversaw product development, even managing some shipping at one point. I’ve held nearly every position in the company except working directly in the factory, though I did repair gloves. It’s been a wonderful journey, but it’s sadly coming to an end this year. After 49 years as a Watsonator, I’m finally hanging up the gloves, and this is my Watson Story.</p>

<div class="wpb_text_column wpb_content_element " >
<div class="wpb_wrapper">
<p>This wild ride began with a chance meeting of a man named Bill Hamilton (Sales Rep) in the fall of 1974. I worked at a gas station called Econo in Coquitlam, at the bottom of Blue Mountain and Brunette. Bill worked for Watson Gloves and was setting up a display. I said to him, “I should be pricing those, and you should be out selling more gloves.” Then I asked, “Do you think I could work at Watson Gloves and do this kind of work there?” He replied, “That’s a hell of an idea. I’d rather be selling gloves than pricing them. I’ll talk to my boss.” His boss was Don Fedorak, Watson Gloves’ Sales Manager at the time, affectionately known as the “Glove Father.”</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="wpb_text_column wpb_content_element " >
<div class="wpb_wrapper">
<p>Fast forward to ’75, I reached out to Don and asked, “Now that we’re getting into the garden season, could you use a guy like me to merchandise the product for you in your garden centers and places such as Econo Gas Station?” He said, “Yeah, why don’t you come in?” He suggested we talk to Barrie Moore, the second-generation Moore, and the president and owner at the time, along with Bob Arendale. On March 11th, 1975, I was 18 years old and wore my best clothes—the ones I wore to prom. I was probably a little overdressed for a delivery boy, which was what I was going to be doing. Barrie and Don interviewed me at the old offices at 2nd and Main. Both reminded me of my dad—they felt like good, sincere fellows. We talked for a while, and then Barrie looked at Don and asked, “What do you think? Do you think this guy can deliver gloves?” Don nodded and said, “Yes, I believe he can.” And that was the beginning of my journey with Watson Gloves.</p>

<p>Before I left the interview Barrie threw me the keys to the delivery van and said, “Here, take it home and tomorrow you can start.” In that moment, I couldn’t have imagined how much these two guys would change my life. Don taught me about gloves, and Barrie taught me about life. I always appreciated the things they did for me and always wanted to make sure they knew I was working my butt off for them. I would often say to Barrie, “I’m going to keep you in the life you’ve become accustomed to.” Right after my father, Barrie Moore was my favorite man.</p>

<div class="wpb_wrapper">
<p>I originally wanted to be an architect because I loved designing buildings and engaging with the public. However, architecture didn’t work out for me. As a second-generation glad-hander, it seems I was destined to be a salesperson. My father, who worked for General Motors, had a long history of interacting extensively with the public and his customers. So, following in his footsteps came naturally to me.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="wpb_text_column wpb_content_element " >
<div class="wpb_wrapper">
<p>When I started at Watson Gloves, I didn’t have any post-secondary education, which made me feel like I needed to give it a really good effort and push myself to see what I could do with this company. I probably spent about two years delivering, making sure the industrial guys got their products and the retailers had all their products on display. I would repair gloves that had come apart, staple them, and put them back up, making the rack look all fresh and new. I took pride in ensuring the display looked good. Don recognized that in me, and it helped me build relationships with the people at the stores. Even at 19 and 20 years of age, I got along well with the customers I dealt with. They spoke highly of me to the sales reps when they came to take orders, which I believe was passed on to Don and Barrie.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="wpb_text_column wpb_content_element " >
<div class="wpb_wrapper">
<p>On my route, I serviced retail accounts, as well as industrial and forest companies. Orders would be written up, and I’d have my own section in the back of the warehouse. I’d load the truck every morning, start my day around 7:30 AM, and finish around 4:30 PM. I usually ended with retail customers because they stayed open later—garden centers, home improvement centers, and hardware stores. I looked after and delivered gloves to all the industrial customers in the 1970s from Vancouver to Langley, which was quite a distance. As for the gloves, there were the “Garden Gloves,” many winter gloves, and various styles for truck drivers. It was a lot of work, but I took a lot of pride in what I was doing.</p>

<p>I think that work ethic went a long way to helping me get to the next level. Don trusted me enough to start looking after some of the smaller hardware stores in town. I looked after a little grocery chain called “High Low Foods.” There were stores in Coquitlam, Surrey, and Burnaby. I also looked after a garden center, some hardware stores, and some Home Hardware stores. I got my feet wet in the heart of small retailers. I lived off the thrill of the sale and loved when my customers were happy. Whatever they needed, I did. I would make sure to go that extra mile on Friday afternoon calls to ensure retailers had the gloves they needed for Saturday and Sunday. I kept up repairing displays and even repaired gloves. Don also got me to assist with Eaton’s Department Store, Woodward’s Department Store, and Woolco. It was quite the project. We would go into these stores and merchandise the whole place. It wasn’t just filling racks; we’d help with $1.49 Days at Woodward’s on Tuesday. We’d go in on Wednesday with garden gloves, toques, and winter gloves, and they would sell them for $1.49. That was in the late ’70s, and it was exciting times. I wasn’t looking after the sales part for those bigger stores, but Don introduced me to all the buyers, and I was able to understand how department stores worked, which maybe helped with Marks later.</p>

<div class="wpb_wrapper">
<p>Those were the days. Watson Gloves was a small organization at that point—just a grouping of two buildings that not many people outside of the organization knew about. Throughout my time at Watson, we purchased a couple more buildings on either side and continued to grow. The main building was from 1918, and there weren’t many renovations. We did some in the boardroom, which was a special place in its day. We had many of our brainstorming meetings there. The original factory was there, and it was amazing with so much history. There were also floors above the factory where some people lived, which eventually got torn down. That’s why, when you look at the really old pictures, it was a bigger building!</p>

<p>We excelled in the retail side of things because of what we did. At that time, we owned that business. We sold direct and had relationships with the end users, talking directly with the customer. It’s all about added value. That’s the term now, but back then, it was just service. It was our differentiator. No one else provided the service we did for the retail market.</p>

<div class="wpb_text_column wpb_content_element " >
<div class="wpb_wrapper">
<p>Now, we work with distributors, which is great because maybe that distributor has 500 salespeople and access to the whole country. Watson Gloves has never had 500 salespeople. It’s a different philosophy now, but that’s the magic of it—it’s a different way of going to market. It’s funny in retrospect because Don and I both thought the distributor route wasn’t going to work. We thought we would lose control. And then, yeah, our guys met with some pushback from distributors out of the gate because we sold direct, so we needed to stop that if we wanted to go the distributor way. This was a tough change for us. It was a little easier in the Prairies and in Ontario because that was a fresh start for us. In any case, we stayed at it, and it worked out well and was the right choice. You have to learn from and listen to the people you hire.</p>

<p>Kasey Whitman, our current President, was key to that change in distribution. He really took us to the next level. He began as an inside sales rep here in Vancouver, and Marty (current CEO and Chairman) sent him to Calgary to look after the Calgary sales and operations. He really evolved things out there, got the facility going, and it wasn’t long before we knew he was going to be an integral part of our company moving forward. He had the smarts, attitude, and drive, and that’s why we all worked together so well. We all wanted to win, which usually meant just listening, learning, and trusting.</p>

<p>Throughout my career at Watson Gloves, I was always learning. As I got into selling, I made it a point to really get to know the gloves inside and out. Don was one hell of a teacher, but I also picked up a lot from other sales guys. There was Terry Photo (sales rep) on the island, a couple of guys down here in the Lower Mainland, Roger Westlake (sales rep), Don’s brother-in-law, Harry Hargreaves (sales rep) working the Prince George area, and Bob Dale (sales rep) in Edmonton. We had a facility in Calgary at the time, and Bob worked for us in the ’70s before leaving in ’82 to start his own company. I learned invaluable insights from these colleagues all over BC and Alberta.</p>

<p>Don and Terry would go into the interior periodically, and as I got to know things better, Don thought I should take over places like the Okanagan, West, and East Kootenays. He began taking me with him, and I would take notes fiercely. Don was a stickler for making sure you had files on everyone. We needed to know what the person ordered last time, all their receipts from previous orders, and all the notes I had. I’d spend Sunday reviewing my notes, then hit the road Monday morning and come back Friday night. The notes were essential. This was before computers or cell phones. We didn’t make any phone calls prior to going up—we’d just show up! Barrie did have these advance notice cards that they would sometimes mail out before I went up. Those were handy, basically saying that a Watson Glove guy would be in their area, but it doesn’t happen that way anymore. Now you have to have an appointment; otherwise, you don’t get anywhere.</p>

<p>When you’re on the road, you have your regulars who would always see you, but the cold calls with new clients were difficult. My goal with new customers was just to get in there, get them to listen, and at least get some gloves in for trial purposes. Once they had the gloves, they could see that they could save money and reduce hand injuries with Watson Gloves. For my regulars with notes prepared, I would say, “You ordered ten dozen of these. How many do you have on hand now?” I would try to understand any challenges if the gloves weren’t selling or get an order if they were! One thing Don always said was, “Make sure you come out with an order no matter how small it is. You’ve got to pay for your trip.” But you don’t want to overload these guys. It was about building trust. They needed to know you weren’t a one-night-stand kind of guy. They needed to know that you cared and that you would see them again.</p>

<div class="wpb_text_column wpb_content_element " >
<div class="wpb_wrapper">
<p>I loved these trips into the interior. I got to see mines, sawmills, and every kind of industrial company and retailer in BC. I often didn’t want to come back home, so I’d sometimes spend the weekend in Kelowna or head up to Kamloops early. I’m from Kamloops, so we’d camp, and I’d have an early start on Monday. It was absolutely fabulous being a road warrior. It must have been what I was born to do because I enjoyed every aspect of it. I don’t remember any pain from being a road warrior—except the pain of not getting the order. That pain was only because I was rather impatient, as many of my colleagues will tell you. I was adamant that I would supply everything they needed and couldn’t understand why they wouldn’t deal with Watson Gloves. But that’s part of life, right? You don’t get every sale. At the same time, I enjoyed the challenge of someone who didn’t want to deal with us. I’d show them a bunch of good stuff from Watson Gloves and how we could reduce hand injuries and costs and do everything to change their mind. It was a good challenge.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="wpb_text_column wpb_content_element " >
<div class="wpb_wrapper">
<p>One example of a changed mind was a sawmill in Cranbrook. They would never see me, but I was persistent and finally, he said, “Ok, you’re not giving up. Come in and let’s see what you got.” I knew what they already used because I was prepared with my notes. I had a new pair of gloves with me—some very new technology from a Japanese company. It was these innovative palm-coated gloves that I knew he could use, and I got an order from him. That was the thrill. When all that preparation paid off and you can see that they finally understand what you’ve been trying to show them. They put aside their allegiance to your worthy rival and truly listen to you. Then you present it, and they give you a try because that’s all you’re asking for—just give it a try.</p>

<p>The thrill was big for me, but when you’re on the road, it also comes back to the people. I really liked the people I dealt with on the road and the team we had here. It’s the people who keep you engaged, and Barrie Moore was really good at this; he kept us engaged. We would have business meetings at Barrie’s cabin on Bowen Island. We’d go out on Wednesday afternoon, catch the afternoon ferry, and stop at the grocery store in Snug Cove on Bowen to get all the groceries we’d need for a BBQ. Huge steaks—we’d cut them into pieces and BBQ them. There’d be six or seven of us. We’d make salads, vegetables, and of course, the steaks, and we’d talk about gloves all night. After dinner, we’d stay up late, still talking gloves but listening to music as well. Barrie loved music, and he had an unbelievable collection of vinyl, which he’d continue to play all night. We would sit around with a drink in our hand and just talk gloves and gloves. We’d wake ourselves up early enough to make the first ferry back to the office on time for the bell the next morning. That was part of the family way of Watson Gloves and of Barrie Moore, and I think Marty Moore (current CEO and Chairman) and Michele Moore (Senior Director of Corporate Social Responsibility) have continued it through our fun ups and our AGM boat cruise.

<p>I remember Marty and I making a call on Marks Work Warehouse in Calgary, which was selling a lot of our gloves. We were seeing Richard MacMillan, and we were selling him “Abominable Snow Mitts,” which was one hell of a snowmobile glove made in our Canadian factory. After the meeting, we got into the elevator—just a couple of youngsters—and Marty said, “I think we sold a few gloves there.” I did some quick math in my head and said, “We just sold $600,000 worth of gloves.” Marty still reminds me of that. That was pretty cool.</p>

<p>We’ve always had a good relationship with Marks Work Warehouse, now just “Marks.” We’ve been their primary glove supplier since 1978, and that’s unheard of.

A wonderful relationship, but we’ve worked hard at it.</p>

<p>Barrie really changed the industry in many ways. He came up with the idea of identifying gloves with a name. He knew that a consumer couldn’t go into a store and just see a glove with a generic tag on it because it doesn’t say anything about the glove. Having a description is great, but it’s really the name that identifies that glove—“Man Handlers,” “Mean Mothers,” “Gung Ho,” all this kind of stuff. All these names we came up with, people thought were either cute, cool, or risqué. And taglines were absolutely brilliant; “Better than Nothing” – if you know, you know. That specific glove ended up on Jay Leno, and that was our 15 minutes of fame. But it wasn’t just about being edgy; it was the idea of identifying a glove by a name. It’s not just a glove—it’s a “Man Handler,” and it’s something a customer can ask for by name, and the retailers loved it.</p>

<p>We had a glove called “Get a Grip.” It was a reversible glove—you could use both sides, which was very state-of-the-art in its day. Japanese companies put these lines of PVC across the gloves, producing a phenomenal grip, which is why we called it “Get a Grip.” The image on the tag was one of our guys, Clarence Brosnikoff, wearing a hard hat and using the gloves while being dragged down a hill by a beer truck. That was the original tag, and it was just goofy, but people got it. We all worked on these tags and names together, and we were a tight-knit family, which we still are—just ten times bigger!</p>

<p>We were good at what we did but archaic in the way we did it—clip art and that sort of stuff. We struggled with the technical part—it was the ’80s, and we didn’t have any way of getting pictures onto documents. We had typewriters and made these goofy things; it was working but we knew we needed to do better in that aspect. So, I got involved in marketing in the mid 2000’s, finding and hiring talented people to do these things for us. I stressed to Marty that we needed three things: a marketing department, a product development person, and someone to do video.</p>

<div class="wpb_text_column wpb_content_element " >
<div class="wpb_wrapper">
<p>Product development was so crucial. We needed someone who could design gloves because the only way we got new gloves was if one of our manufacturers in Asia showed us something new—a new leather glove, a new coated glove, a different color. Nothing new had been in gloves for the longest time except with coated gloves from the Japanese companies.</p>

<p>Marketing is particularly a love of mine, and I probably got that from Barrie Moore just because again, his identification of product and importance of the images involved. We started with Clip art and the Marketing department now likes to laugh at us, but there’s so much the Product and marketing departments do now that we could never have done in our day, especially with guides and compliance testing.</p>

<p>Laura Whitlock (Senior Director of Marketing and Innovation) and Christina Yeung (Director of Product Development) have become pillars in these teams. I’m very proud to have been part of hiring them. The entire group is wonderful, and they’ve elevated our brand, adding huge value for our customers. You have to trust the people you hire. That said, I think I often pestered them. One of my biggest faults is impatience and needing things done sooner rather than later. They gave me the nickname “Hair On Fire Bruce” because everything needed to be done right away.</p>

<div class="wpb_text_column wpb_content_element " >
<div class="wpb_wrapper">
<p>I think I was impatient because I really cared, and I believe you must truly care about what you’re doing. Imagine going to a bar, and someone says, “Hey, what do you do for a living?” “I sell gloves.” They’ll say, “What? You do what? You sell gloves?” But what I know is, if you care about selling gloves, you can do anything. Caring about what we did was the driving force behind our success. Marty, Barrie, Don, and I all learned on the streets how to sell gloves and worked hard at it. When Marty joined, we talked about how we needed to step up our game to stay competitive. Because we cared so much, we knew we needed to invest in ourselves. We joined the CPSA (Canadian Professional Sales Association), took courses, and then went on to Dale Carnegie. Kasey connected with more training providers like Base-Over-Apex and Negotiations Ninja. It was all pretty cool and became part of Watson Gloves’ culture. The Moores have always supported this; they’ll make any educational opportunity available if it shows you care. I admire that so much about them. As long as they see you care and want to improve, they’re all in with you.</p>

<p>I was lucky to have gotten to work with four generations of Moores. The newest generation, including Jordan Moore (Purchasing Manager), Kailen Gill (Director of Operations), and Austin West (Hand Protection Specialist), are wonderful, and I’ve been able to see them grow up. Marty and Michele, the third generation, and Barrie, the second generation, who I originally started working for. Then, in the ’80s, things were tough, and I briefly worked with Dinty Moore—yes, that Dinty Moore, the original.</p>

<p>We almost closed the doors in ’82. Interest rates were 22%, we were overextended on our loan, oil companies weren’t going full-tilt, sawmills were closing, and we had all this inventory with no place to put it. The bank said we needed to change and suggested we bring Dinty Moore back into the business.</p>

<p>Dinty was old school, especially compared to Barrie and Don. Don and I had challenges working for Dinty because he always asked how many orders we got today, and he’d get mad if I didn’t bring any in. It was tough hearing that, but I was taught well by my parents to be respectful and laid it out for Dinty: “We’re not always going to get an order when we go into a customer. It’s just not that way.” I continued; “We’re preparing them for the next time, showing them samples they may have to trial or test.” Dinty understood, but he was under a lot of pressure to keep the company solvent. At that time, we didn’t see Barrie as much—he was sidelined, taking a bit of a break. Don and I were involved in getting the other sales guys on board. It was a challenging and scary time. There was one Monday we came into the office at 7:30 am wondering if the keys would even fit. But we came together, pushed through it, and now here we are, stronger than ever. Dinty helped get us there.</p>

<p>After things settled down, Barrie re-engaged with the business. As I said, Barrie taught me a lot about life, was always very curious and eager to learn what was going on. He could meet anyone, anywhere, and strike up a friendship. He was one of the first glove guys to venture into China. Many did Hong Kong, but Barrie went further into China. It was quite archaic traveling the countryside in trains with no heaters, dressed in suits and ties. They were on an adventure, going to far-off places to try and find gloves, and they did! They were among the first to start importing gloves from China into North America. They learned a lot, and so did I when they took me in the ’70s. We were always learning. Seeing how gloves were made there compared to our factory on Main and 2nd was eye-opening, and it changed our business a lot. That’s when we brought in leather combo gloves—a new glove for us where it wasn’t just a full leather glove but a glove with leather components, cotton components, and a safety cuff. That was really the beginning.</p>

<p>Gloves were different back then. PPE wasn’t mandated, and many companies didn’t supply PPE. Now, there really isn’t an industry that doesn’t supply their workers with hand protection, and gloves are more advanced. Barrie and Don were astute glove guys. They knew when they saw something in China, Hong Kong, or Japan, whether it was going to work or not. I saw this because I got to go to Hong Kong early in my career. Only two years into the job and Barrie said to me, “You got a passport?” I said, “What? What do I need a passport for?” He said, “We’re going to Hong Kong. You better get one.” Holy crap, this is just two years in, but that was Barrie Moore.</p>

<p>Barrie knew how to bring people together. I remember in the early days having meetings at Puccini’s Restaurant on Friday afternoon, Nick’s Spaghetti House, The Cobalt Hotel, The American Hotel—all those places. We’d go for lunch at noon and get back to the office at four. Susan Lim was our office manager then, and she would tear a strip off of us, including Barrie Moore. In fact, Barrie got the worst of it. “Where have you been? I’ve got cheques for you to sign,” and we all thought this was just hilarious. It was the kind of thing that brought us together, just like the BBQs on Bowen. We’d be talking gloves. Some great glove names came from those lunches.</p>

<p>Marty Moore, our current CEO, started in 1986, Expo year, and Barrie started him doing deliveries, which was a good idea. Marty was going to learn from doing deliveries, getting to know the people involved, and working his way up through the ranks, just like everyone else. So, Marty did what I started doing—looking after deliveries and merchandising displays in the Lower Mainland. He was good at it. He’s a glad hander like me, so just like me, he got to know all the people involved. Marty was involved in all aspects of the business, including procurement, like Jordan, his son and current Purchasing Manager.

<p>What do athletes say the most when they retire? They miss the feeling and energy of the room, the camaraderie! The people at Watson Gloves are wonderful, and I will miss them, and I’ll miss the times we’re all together, like at the AGM boat cruise. During the AGM, our entire company is together for two days. It’s family, and I’m honored to have gotten to see this family grow from a shop on Main and 2nd to our Calgary and Ontario operations to what it is now, a North American company. I’ve seen the kids, Jordan, Kailen and Austin who are now learning the business, grow up from the water fights at the tailgate BBQ. I’ve seen them all grow up and Watson grow up, and I know this is how Barrie would have wanted it to happen.</p>

Choose a relatively level spot to minimize leveling required, that receives the correct amount of sun exposure for your plants, and has easy access to water—this will help ensure optimal growing conditions for your plants.</p>

<div class="wpb_wrapper">
<p>Now that you have your design and your garden bed space is prepped, it’s time to start building. Roll up your sleeves, slip on your gloves, and let’s get started! When selecting materials, consider your priorities for durability, sustainability, affordability, and style.</p>
<p>Repurposed wood or recycled pallets are popular choices for those seeking sustainable and budget-friendly options. You can often find these materials at local gardening or recycling centers, but be sure to inspect them for any damage or harmful substances before you begin. Additionally it’s important to consider how the wood was treated and its previous use, especially since you’ll be growing food near it. <em>*Do your research with reclaimed wood before using it to ensure the safety and well-being of your plants and family.</em></p>
<p>There are many raised bed patterns and guides available for assembling the actual frame. We recommend finding a step-by-step process tailored to your specific needs, as the location, your plants’ requirements, and the materials you choose will directly influence the type of frame you build.</p>

<div class="wpb_wrapper">
<p>It’s time to start filling in your raised garden bed with soil! Choose a well-balanced soil mix, incorporating layers of topsoil, compost, and organic matter to support healthy plant growth. <em>*Be sure to do your own research on what you’re planting to ensure the soil mix is right for your plants.</em></p>
<p>Layer the soil gradually for even distribution, level the soil, and gently water it to encourage natural settling. While a top layer of mulch and worm castings is optional, we highly recommend wearing gardening gloves for these tasks!</p>

<p>When growing vegetables, there are two ways to do so: seeding or transplanting. Seeding involves directly planting seeds into the ground and transplanting involves planting pre-grown baby plants into the ground. Although both methods have their pros and cons, we’ll share with you a few reasons why planting seeds is the best way to start:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>It’s cheaper</strong> – packets of seeds cost considerably less compared to vegetable plants. Some can also be reused if you save them for next year’s growing season!</li>
<li><strong>The variety</strong> – check out the seed variety in any nursery or store. You have more choices to choose from than full-grown plants.</li>
<li><strong>You reap what you sow</strong> – there’s a lot of gratification to seeing the rewards of your efforts. When you sow your own vegetables, you can ensure that they will be healthy and strong right from the start.</li>

<p>Some vegetables grow the best through seeding and some grow the best through transplanting. Before seeding, make sure to pick vegetables that work the best with seeding. Vegetables with a delicate root system and those that germinate and mature quickly are the best to grow from seeding. These vegetables include:</p>

<p>Not everyone will have a vast garden in their backyard to sow their seeds. Fret not – there are plenty of alternatives. For people who don’t have the garden space, you can sow your seeds in paper pots, modules or seedling trays. These alternatives also help in protecting your vegetables from the elements and garden pests. However, since the vegetables would be in a confined environment (a container with a bottom), avoid root vegetables, such as carrots and radishes, which would touch the bottom of the surface and thus fork out or grow in an odd shape.</p>
<p>Most crucial when sowing your seeds is making sure your crops are spaced evenly. Your seed packet should tell you how much room each variety needs. But as a general reference, space your seeds to the size of the vegetable. If you’ll be growing beets for instance, make sure each of the seeds planted are about 2-4 inches apart so that each seedling has space to make an average-sized beet. If you put your plants too close to each other, they’ll be competing for light, water, nutrients, and airflow, which can increase chances of plant disease.</p>

<p>Ideally, you’d want to sow the same variety of seeds in groups and not mix them around (bean seeds are planted together in the same area, pea seeds are planted together, etc.). Remember to mark each of your areas — whether in rows or blocks is up to you. By doing all of this, you can keep track of which area is what since for awhile, all you’ll be looking at is plain ole’ soil!</p>
<p>Water your seedlings so that the soil is moist. It goes without saying that when it’s cool weather, such as in early spring, water less often, and when weather gets dryer and hotter, water more often. Make sure to avoid the soil becoming hard, baked or cracked – that’s a sign it’s dry and needs watering! When your seedlings are starting to germinate (aka sprout), you will need to start thinning. That means removing the weaker seedlings and leaving space for the strongest to grow (survival of the fittest applies in the plant world too!).</p>

<p>Get out your seeds, gardening gloves and PLANT! Gardening does require some effort and patience. And there are some factors that are hard to control, such as weather and plant diseases. But being diligent and seeing the fruits (vegetables in this case) of your labour grow and be ready to be picked and used for your many meals ahead is not only rewarding but a great investment and hobby to get into, especially in this time!</p>

<div class="wpb_wrapper">
<p>Native plants like St. John’s Wort, Goldenrod, Milkweed, Camas, and Nodding Onion are more than just visually appealing—they are pivotal to sustaining local ecosystems. They provide essential habitats and food sources for wildlife, including migratory birds and pollinators. Native plants adapt well to local climates and help minimize water use too. Watson Gloves aids gardeners in cultivating these vital plants with gloves designed for both protection and sustainability.</p>

<h3>1) Garden Planning</h3>
<ul style="padding-left: 20px;">
<li>Identify your garden’s soil type (organic, sandy loam, clay).</li>
<li>Map out the garden to optimize light exposure and plant spacing.</li>
<li>Select native plants suitable for your region and soil conditions.</li>
</ul>
<h3>2) Gardening Tools</h3>
<ul style="padding-left: 20px;">
<li>Best Gardening Gloves: Knowing the native plants you’re planting will allow you to choose the right glove to ensure your hands are protected.</li>
<li>Have basic tools ready: spade, trowel, watering can, and pruning shears.</li>
</ul>
<h3>3) Planting</h3>
<ul style="padding-left: 20px;">
<li>Group plants with similar water and sun needs.</li>
<li>Plant at the right depth—root crown should be at soil level.</li>
<li>Water thoroughly after planting to settle the soil.</li>
</ul>
<h3>4) Ongoing Care</h3>
<ul style="padding-left: 20px;">
<li>Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.</li>
<li>Implement water-wise practices—water early in the morning or late in the afternoon.</li>
<li>Check plants regularly for pests and diseases—natural remedies preferred.</li>
</ul>
<h3>5) Seasonal Maintenance</h3>
<ul style="padding-left: 20px;">
<li>In autumn, leave fallen leaves on the ground to decompose naturally.</li>
<li>Prune dead or diseased branches and spent blooms to promote new growth.</li>
</ul>
<h3>6) Supporting Biodiversity</h3>
<ul style="padding-left: 20px;">
<li>Include plants that provide food and habitat for wildlife (e.g., flowering plants for pollinators).</li>
<li>Avoid using pesticides to protect the native insects and birds.</li>
</ul>

<p>Personal protective equipment (PPE) is undergoing a transformative era where sustainability is gaining equal significance next to its primary safety function. <a href="https://safetyequipment.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The International Safety Equipment Association</a>’s (ISEA) <a href="https://safetyequipment.org/new-study-safety-managers-ppe-providers-are-embracing-sustainability/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recent study</a> illuminates this shift, revealing that an overwhelming 80% of safety managers now factor in sustainability when selecting PPE, reflecting a broader industry trend towards environmentally conscious practices (<a href="https://safetyequipment.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/PPE-Sustainability-Study.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ISEA Report, 2023</a>). At Watson Gloves, being environmentally conscious is not a new trend but a continued commitment. Our approach is twofold: to provide quality hand protection while reducing our environmental footprint and helping reduce yours. Together, we can help elevate the industry for a more sustainable future.<span id="more-31135"></span></p>

<div class="wpb_wrapper">
<p>The ISEA report also highlights the growing emphasis on sustainable procurement strategies, noting that while only 10% of companies currently include sustainability as a purchase criterion, this is expected to increase significantly (<a href="https://safetyequipment.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/PPE-Sustainability-Study.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ISEA Report, 2023</a>). This aligns with Watson Gloves’ proactive approach in integrating sustainability into our product design and development processes. Being featured in the “Product Sustainability” section of the <a href="https://safetyequipment.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/PPE-Sustainability-Study.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a>, with more than 70 of our sustainable glove styles, is a humble reminder that our efforts are making an impact. Innovations like our Reclaim™ additive, which accelerates the decomposition of our gloves in landfills, and our WasteNot™ yarn, made from recycled plastic bottles, are steps forward in our commitment to sustainable practices that benefit not just the environment but everyone who shows up to the jobsite every day.</p>

<div class="wpb_text_column wpb_content_element " >
<div class="wpb_wrapper">
<p>According to the ISEA report, maintaining a balance between product sustainability and worker protection is crucial. The report notes that while product sustainability is gaining importance, it should never compromise worker safety (<a href="https://safetyequipment.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/PPE-Sustainability-Study.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ISEA Report, 2023</a>). Watson Gloves’ SWAT program is our way of ensuring this balance, reflecting the industry’s evolving priorities. Our <a href="/services/swat-hazard-assessment/">SWAT (Sustainable Watson Assessment Team) program</a> exemplifies our proactive stance — not only ensuring the safety and efficiency of PPE on-site but also emphasizing the importance of environmental accountability. This hands-on approach allows us to assist our partners in navigating the complexities of sustainability while still fulfilling the core mandate of protection. It’s a response to the ISEA’s revelation that “safety is still job #1,” ensuring that our commitment to sustainability complements rather than competes with our dedication to safeguarding workers.</p>

Our manager had to go out and stop traffic for us because we couldn’t walk properly. Then, at the other building we had to go in through the warehouse bay doors because the costumes were too big.

<div class="wpb_wrapper">
<p>I definitely never imagined T-Rexes! My initial plan was to become an architect or maybe something in civil engineering. But life had other plans, and here I am. I always had an aptitude for numbers, so when architecture didn’t pan out, accounting seemed like the next best fit.</p>

<p>Yeah, I was looking for an entry level accounts receivable position because that’s usually where accountants start. I decided to start my search on Indeed and I uploaded my resume to apply for jobs, but what I didn’t realize is that I made my resume public! It was my first time using the platform and I didn’t understand there was public and private. But then I got this call from someone in HR from Watson Gloves, and she said that there was a position open, and they thought I’d be a good fit. We talked for an hour, and it was a great interview!</p>

<p>They invited me in for an in-person interview, and I did just that, then the rest is history! But that’s Watson, we’re always looking for the right people to join our team, I think that’s how our accounting department has stayed such a close-knit family.</p>

<div class="wpb_wrapper">
<p>Some companies don’t really give you an idea or road-plan for where you’re going, but it’s different here at Watson. Management cares, they asked me what I want, and they helped create a career path for me and with me, so I always knew what I was working towards.</p>

<p>Last year I had a meeting with Rebecca (VP, Talent & Culture), and she asked what I wanted to do. We talked, and she listened. Together we decided that the next step in my growth journey was to develop my leadership skills and approved me to attend leadership training, something I never thought I’d do, but now it’s opened so many more doors for me.</p>

<div class="wpb_text_column wpb_content_element " >

<p>And this all trickles down, I have one co-worker who has been here for five years, just one less than me, and we have been growing in our positions here. I’ve been training her in my last position, so we’re always working together, like a real family, passing down what we’ve learned.</p>

<p>Other than the T-Rex costumes? Watson really makes you feel welcome right from your first day. There’s a lot of people, and three offices across Canada, but you still feel like family. The year after I was hired, I won the Outstanding Achievement Award. That was one of my proudest moments. Yeah, I remember being so surprised because I was so relatively new, and I definitely wasn’t expecting to win anything. It was so nice to be recognized by the leadership team.</p>
