I carry Hatch Friskmaster Max gloves at work and they are great for what they are ment to do (protect against cuts while providing acceptable dexterity). They are also uncomfortable as they are tight and cold so I do not wear them often, but they are always in my coat or cargo pants pocket. They are a real "clue" to the public though, because when you show-up wearing them everyone expects something is going to happen.

I keep normal insulated leather gloves "handy" for other chores both on and off the job.
