Okay, so before you lay into me about being crazy or whatever, please try and keep an open mind...
After looking at reference pictures over and over again, I'm beginning to think that the quilted/padded/backhand-fingertop parts on the ESB glove are not of a cloth material. Has anyone thought this as well?
This is the main image I keep going back to: http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/gallery/showfull.php?photo=10966
If you save the image and zoom in, it definitely (to me) does not appear to be cloth or tackle twill or even just simple cotton quilting. I'll try and find some pictures of what material I think it is but I honestly don't know the name, however I KNOW I have seen a better match of material before.
Also the base glove itself seems to almost be suede or something similar to what some work gloves are made of... I'm not sure again, just spit balling and trying to bounce ideas off of everyone. The tackle twill I think has too much sheen to it.
You can see in this photo better the texture of the base glove: http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/gallery/showfull.php?photo=11033
And in this photo you can see the material actually tearing away a little bit off of the left thumb which leads me to believe that it is indeed something closer to leather or some similar material: http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/gallery/showfull.php?photo=11051
