CRL has them as short, light-colored leather work gloves. You can find a pair at Lowe's or Home Depot. Just make sure they are NOT suede. I use these pair with my costume. Make sure to heavily weather them so they aren't as yellow.

The Star Wars costume books says they are Wells Lamont gardening gloves. I bought mine from ebay. They are also available on Amazon.

Some of the work gloves I've seen are quite yellow and I was wondering if something along the lines of a WW2 paratrooper glove would look better as they're far more tan.
I saw some in a display in St Mere Eglise last week and their colour looked better to me than the yellow I commonly see in gloves.

I was thinking more tan too, but I just found this weird/awesome set photo, and you can see the gloves are yellower than the shirt, just dirty. I think washing yellow gloves in soapy water (a lot of the dye will come out), and then getting them dirty will do the trick.

I weathered mine with olive oil.

Tbe color is AWESOME.

That picture would imply more used engine oil than olive oil. Filthy almost Laughing

I must get dirtier.

Fresh mulch is an excellent source of dirt to distress the gloves without the risk of hardening them.
