When I'm doing grinding/fitting, or general metal handling, I usually wear some sort of (fairly cheap) thin leather gloves. The stitching usually ends up getting burned by sparks from grinding and then the gloves for apart. I've not tried Tig gloves but I've heard that they are thin so they might work for this purpose. What does everyone else do?
Leather gloves for grinding with stitching that won't burn?

I use the Vulcan TIG gloves. Kevlar thread IIRC. I've gone through a few pair and always wear through the leather before the threads. When I wear through the pads of the fingers, I CA glue more leather on and use them as my "beater" gloves.
Edit: Tilman is obviously better, but I haven't had any complaints/issues with Vulcan.
