Glove types we manufacture

Why Sialkot for gloves

Sialkot has produced leather and sports gloves for export for generations: tanneries, foam and TPR moulders, thread and trim suppliers and skilled glove stitchers are all local. That cluster is why global fight-sport, motorcycle and PPE brands source here, and why a factory like ours can turn a tech pack into a stitched sample in under two weeks. Leather is sourced from local tanneries and checked for thickness, grain and colour consistency before cutting; synthetic materials are imported where a programme needs a specific PU, microfibre or aramid.

Development: from your sample to production

Most glove programmes start with a physical sample or a competitor glove plus a list of changes. Our pattern team digitises the pattern, adjusts the fit for your size range and builds the first sample with the palm material, padding, closure and branding you specify. Changes are made on the sample, not in production. Once approved, the pattern, padding specification and material list are locked for every repeat order, and a pre-production sample is photographed before bulk cutting.

For protective articles we hold EN test reports on some current motorcycle and work styles and can arrange testing of your own design at a notified body; the cost and lead time are quoted with the development plan.

Why buyers source from Sialkot, Pakistan

Sialkot is the city that makes much of the world's hand-stitched footballs, sports gloves, boxing equipment and martial-arts gear, and it has a deep base of fabric mills, dye houses, embroidery units and trim suppliers within a few kilometres of each other. For a brand or distributor that means short supply chains, experienced sewing operators and competitive pricing on labour-intensive products such as sublimated uniforms, leather gloves and padded jackets.

Pakistan also has preferential trade access that lowers landed cost: under the EU GSP+ scheme qualifying garments enter the European Union at reduced or zero duty, and the UK Developing Countries Trading Scheme (DCTS) gives similar treatment into Britain. Blackthorn World is a registered exporter under the EU REX system (PKREXPK71593468), so your forwarder can claim the preference on our statement of origin.
