Work gloves question

I get for tasks like moving lumberor insulation, or using a knife you should always have gloves on, while doing safe and mundane tasks like typing on a computer gloves aren't needed.

My question is do I have to wear the shitty HD branded ones or can I buy and use my own? There's almost never any new ones unless you wear a small and even if you have the correct size, and if you're in a position where you're taking them on and off somewhat frequently it becomes a chore since they're worse than nitrile/latex gloves.
