Another vote for Atlas 370. Really good prices on this site, I have tried a few gardening gloves from here: https://mstore.co.uk/ The Skyec Aria are also good
Lidl will have their goat skin gardening gloves next week here. They come in sizes and are fine enough the do pretty delicate hand weeding. Velcro wrist bands. I bought two pairs last time because the foxes are quite partial to them too. They've gone up a pound but still cheap
I use B&Q builders' gloves for rough work: pruning (I have nipped my fingers twice, so like one on the spare hand) and pruner-saw use (I have sawn my spare hand. only once, but nastily).
I also use them for handling dodgy plants like giant hogsweed, or those with corrosive latex sap. Thistles though seem to go straight through. Nettles and brambles I grab just above the soil level.
For soil contact work I prefer free. As do do with my pruning hand.
I avoid Margo-type fashion in the garden like the plague.

Waitrose have some of their gardening gloves reduced to half price. These were £6, leather palms and suede back, the medium size fitted me, and I got a pair for my daughter, who has tiny hands and struggles to get decent work gloves. I also buy the heavy duty suede welders gauntlets for bramble pulling up. Last pair came from Screwfix.
Are you suggesting that goat skin gardening gloves are girlie?
My Margo comment refelects my view on fasion in the garden. It followed one of your posts but ws definitely not referring to you. Right now, I'm having a spot of trouble witht "quotes"

My tip: grip brambles just above the base.
