Biography

: see also the Lower Peninsula of Michigan , nicknamed "the Mitten"

A glove ( Middle English from Old English glof ) is a garment covering the whole hand . Gloves have separate sheaths or openings for each finger and the thumb ; if there is an opening but no covering sheath for each finger they are called "fingerless gloves". Fingerless gloves with one large opening rather than individual openings for each finger are sometimes called gauntlet (gloves)|gauntlet s. Gloves which cover the entire hand or fist but do not have separate finger openings or sheaths are called mittens . Mittens are warmer than gloves made of the same material because fingers maintain their warmth better when they are in contact with each other. Reduced surface area reduces heat loss.

A hybrid of glove and mitten also exists, which contains open-ended sheaths for the four fingers (as in a fingerless glove, but not the thumb) and also an additional compartment encapsulating the four fingers as a mitten would. This compartment can be lifted off the fingers and folded back to allow the individual fingers ease of movement and access while the hand remains covered. The usual design is for the mitten cavity to be stitched onto the back of the fingerless glove only, allowing it to be flipped over (normally held back by Velcro or a button) to transform the garment from a mitten to a glove. These hybrids are called convertible mittens or glittens, a combination of "glove" and "mittens".

Gloves protect and comfort hands against cold or heat, damage by friction, abrasion or chemicals, and disease; or in turn to provide a guard for what a bare hand should not touch. Latex , nitrile rubber or vinyl disposable gloves are often worn by health profession|health care professionals as hygiene and contamination protection measures. Police officers often wear them to work in crime scenes to prevent destroying evidence in the scene. Many criminals wear gloves to avoid leaving fingerprint s, which makes the crime investigation more difficult. However, the gloves themselves can leave prints that are just as unique as human fingerprints. After collecting glove prints , law enforcement can then match them to gloves that they have collected as evidence. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/law-and-order/3740688/Police-use-glove-prints-to-catch-criminals.html Police use glove prints to catch criminals In many jurisdictions the act of wearing gloves itself while committing a crime can be prosecuted as an inchoate offense .James W.H. McCord and Sandra L. McCord, Criminal Law and Procedure for the paralegal: a systems approach , supra , p. 127.

Fingerless gloves are useful where dexterity is required that gloves would restrict. Cigarette Tobacco smoking|smoker s and Christian Church|church organist s use fingerless gloves. Some gloves include a gauntlet (gloves)|gauntlet that extends partway up the arm. Cycling gloves for road racing or touring are usually fingerless, as are sailing gloves.

Gloves are made of materials including cloth, knitted or felt ed wool, leather, rubber, latex , neoprene , and metal (as in mail (armour)|mail ). Gloves of kevlar protect the wearer from cuts. Gloves and gauntlets are integral components of pressure suit s and spacesuits such as the Apollo/Skylab A7L which went to the moon. Spacesuit gloves combine toughness and environmental protection with a degree of sensitivity and flexibility.

Expensive women's fashion gloves are made in France , Canada and other countries. For cheaper male gloves New York State , especially Gloversville, New York is a center of glove manufacturing. More and more glove manufacturing is being done in East Asia, however.

History

During the 13th century, gloves began to be worn by lady|ladies as a fashion fashion|ornament . They were made of linen and silk, and sometimes reached to the elbow. Such worldly accoutrements were not for holy women, according to the early thirteenth-century Ancrene Wisse , written for their guidance. J.R.R. Tolkien , ed. Ancrene Wisse , 8. The English Text of the Ancrene Riwle: Ancrene Wisse (Early English Text Society, CCXLIX) London 1962, noted by Diane Bornstein, The Lady in the Tower (Hamden, Connecticut) 1983:25 note 4. Sumptuary law s were promulgated to restrain this vanity: against samite gloves in Bologna, 1294, against perfumed gloves in Rome, 1560.Marjorie O'Rourke Boyle, "Coquette at the Cross? Magdalen in the Master of the Bartholomew Altar's Deposition at the Louvre" Zeitschrift für Kunstgeschichte, 59 .4 (1996:573-577) assembles numerous historical references to gloves, with bibliography.

A Paris corporation or guild of glovers ( gantiers ) existed from the thirteenth century. They made them in skin or in fur.Étienne-Martin Saint-Léon, ''Histoire des corporation de métiers depuis leurs origines jusqu'à leur suppression en 1791 (Paris) 1922, noted by Boyle 1996:174:10.

It was not until the 16th century that they reached their greatest elaboration, however, when Elizabeth I of England|Queen Elizabeth I set the fashion for wearing them richly embroidered and jewelled, and for putting them on and taking them off during audiences, to draw attention to her beautiful hands.Roy C. Strong, Portraits of Queen Elizabeth I (Oxford) 1963:18f. In Paris, the gantiers became gantiers parfumeurs , for the scented oils, musk , ambergris and civet , that perfumed leather gloves, but their trade, which was an introduction at the court of Catherine de Medici , Charles VIII of France received some gloves that were scented with powder of violet, but they were not of French making (Boyle 1996:174). was not specifically recognised until 1656, in a royal brevet . Makers of knitted gloves, which did not retain perfume and had less social cachet, were organised in a separate guild, of bonnetiers In the earliest usage, bonnet was the woollen thread worked by hand with the needle or a spindle (textiles)|spindle (Boyle 1996:174). who might knit silk as well as wool . Such workers were already organised in the fourteenth century. Knitted gloves were a refined handiwork that required five years of apprenticeship; defective work was subject to confiscation and burning.Boyle 1996:174 In the 17th century, gloves made of soft chicken skin became fashionable. The craze for gloves called "limericks" also took hold. This particular glove-fad was the product of a manufacturer in Limerick, Ireland who fashioned the gloves from the skin of unborn calves.Jenkins, Jessica Kerwin, The Encyclopedia of the Exquisite, Nan A. Talese/Doubleday, p. 85

Embroidered and jewelled gloves also formed part of the insignia of emperors and kings. Thus Matthew of Paris , in recording the burial of Henry II of England in 1189, mentions that he was buried in his coronation robes with a golden crown on his head and gloves on his hands. Gloves were also found on the hands of John of England|King John when his tomb was opened in 1797 and on those of Edward I of England|King Edward I when his tomb was opened in 1774.

Pontifical gloves are liturgy|liturgical ornaments used primarily by the pope, the cardinals, and bishops. They may be worn only at the celebration of mass. The liturgical use of gloves has not been traced beyond the beginning of the 10th century, and their introduction may have been due to a simple desire to keep the hands clean for the holy mysteries, but others suggest that they were adopted as part of the increasing pomp with which the Carolingian bishops were surrounding themselves. From the Frankish kingdom the custom spread to Rome, where liturgical gloves are first heard of in the earlier half of the 11th century.

Early Formula One racing cars used steering wheels taken directly from road cars. They were normally made from wood necessitating the use of driving gloves .Formula One retrieved on 02/01/2011

Latex gloves, ubiquitous in surgery and forensics, were developed by the Australia n company Ansell Limited|Ansell . http://www.ansellhealthcare.com/america/latamer/glove/english/intro.htm Ansell also launched the ActivArmr line, which is dedicated to producing protective gloves for construction, plumbing, HVAC and military applications.

Fashion

Western lady's gloves for formal and semi-formal wear come in three lengths: wrist ("matinee"), elbow, and opera or full-length (over the elbow, reaching to the biceps). Satin and stretch satin are popular and mass-produced. Some women wear gloves as part of "dressy" outfits, such as for church and weddings. Long white gloves are common accessories for teenage girls attending formal events such as prom , cotillion , or formal ceremonies at church such as confirmation .

Fingerless gloves

Fingerless gloves or "glovelettes" are garments worn on the hands which resemble regular gloves in most ways, except that the finger columns are half-length and opened, allowing the top-half of the wearer's fingers to be shown.

Fingerless gloves are often padded in the palm area, to provide protection to the hand, and the exposed fingers do not interfere with sensation or gripping. In contrast to traditional gloves, often worn for warmth, fingerless gloves will often have a ventilated back to allow the hands to cool; this is commonly seen in weightlifting gloves .

Fingerless gloves are also worn by motorcycling|biker s as a means to better grip the handlebars, as well as by skateboard ers and rollerblade rs, to protect the palms of the hands and add grip in the event of a fall. Some Fisherman|angler s, particularly fly fishermen, favour fingerless gloves to allow manipulation of line and tackle in cooler conditions.

A woolen variety became popular in the early 1980s, largely due to the example of English pop star Nik Kershaw .

Leather gloves

A leather glove is a fitted covering for the hand with a separate sheath for each finger and the thumb . This covering is composed of the tanned Rawhide (textile)|hide of an animal (with the hair removed), though it is not uncommon in recent years for the leather to be synthetic.

Common uses

A common use for leather gloves is sporting events. In baseball , a baseball glove is an oversized leather glove with a web used for fielding the ball. Leather gloves also factor into playing American handball|handball . Cycling|Cyclists also use leather gloves. Leather gloves are also used frequently by American football|football players so that they can more easily grip the ball.

Early Formula One racing drivers used steering wheels taken directly from road cars. They were normally made from wood necessitating the use of gloves|driving gloves .

Leather gloves also provide protection from occupational hazards. For example, beekeepers use leather gloves to avoid being stung by bees. Construction workers might also use leather gloves for added grip and for protecting their hands. Welders use gloves too for protection against electrical shocks , extreme heat, ultraviolet and infrared .

Criminals have also been known to wear leather gloves during the commission of their crimes. These gloves are worn by criminals because the tactile properties of the leather allow for good grip and dexterity. These same properties are the result of their being a grain present on the surface of the leather. This makes the surface of the leather understandably as random as human skin since the leather itself is skin, usually from livestock . Investigators are able to dust for the glove prints left behind from the leather the same way in which they dust for fingerprints . http://www.mitchpileggi.net/Deep_Background/resources/forensics/analysis.htm Crime Labs http://scienceman.org/Archives/forensics/perident.html Personal Identification: Fingerprints

Leather Dress Gloves

Main types of Gloving Leather

Leather is a natural product with special characteristics that make it comfortable to wear, and give it great strength and flexibility. Because it is a natural product, with its own unique variations, every piece has its own individual characteristics.

Peccary is the world’s rarest and most luxurious gloving leather. Peccary leather is very soft, difficult to sew, and is hard wearing.Dents Retrieved on 02/01/2011

Hairsheep originates from sheep that grow hair not wool. Hairsheep leather is finer and less bulky than other leathers. Its major benefits are softness of touch, suppleness, strength, and lasting comfort. It is very durable and is particularly suited for the manufacture of dress gloves.

Deerskin has the benefit of great strength and elasticity, but has a more rugged appearance, with more grain on the surface, than hairsheep. It is very hard wearing and heavier in weight than hairsheep leather.

Slink lamb is used only in the most expensive lambskin gloves. Some of the finest lambskin comes from New Zealand.

Sheepskin, also called shearling, is widely used for casual and country gloves. It is very warm in cold weather, and has its own natural wool lining from the wool on the sheep.

Cowhide is often used for lower priced gloves. This leather is generally considered too thick and bulky for the majority of glove styles, particularly finer dress gloves. It is however, used for some casual styles of glove.

Goatskin is occasionally used for gloves. It is hard wearing but coarser than other leathers and is normally used for cheaper gloves.

Leather glove linings

Cashmere is warm, light in weight, and very comfortable to wear. Cashmere yarn comes from the hair of mountain goats, whose fleece allows them to survive the extreme weather conditions they are exposed to.

Silk is warm in winter and cool in summer and is used both in men’s and women’s gloves, but is more popular in women’s.

Wool is well known for its natural warmth and comfort, as well as having a natural elasticity.

Other linings, which include wool mixtures and acrylics.

Component parts

The component parts that may be found in a leather dress glove are one pair of tranks, one pair of thumbs, four whole fourchettes, four half fourchettes, two gussets, and six quirks. Depending on the style of the glove there may also be roller pieces, straps, rollers, eyelets, studs, sockets and domes. Finally, linings will themselves consist of tranks, thumbs and fourchettes.

Stitching

The most popular types of leather glove sewing stitches used today are:

Inseam, which is mainly used on women’s gloves, but occasionally on men’s dress gloves.

Hand stitched, which is most popular in men’s gloves and some women’s styles. Hand stitching is a very time consuming and skilled process.

Some glove terms

Points are the three, or sometimes single, line of decorative stitching on the back of the glove.

Fourchettes are the inside panels on the fingers of some glove styles.

Quirks are found on only the most expensive hand sewn gloves. They are small diamond shaped pieces of leather sewn at the base of the fingers, where they are attached to the hand of the glove to improve the fit.

Button length is the measurement in inches that is used to determine the length/measurement from the base of the glove thumb to the cuff of the glove.

A strap & roller is used to adjust the closeness of the fit around the wrist.

A Vent is the ‘V’ shaped cut out of the glove, sometimes at the back, but more often on the palm, to give the glove an easier fit around the wrist.

Perforations are small holes that are punched in the leather. They are often added for better ventilation, grip, or aesthetics and can be as fine as a pin hole. http://bonnevilleproject.wordpress.com/2010/10/23/bonneville-2010-part-i-prep-and-the-trip/ Bonneville 2010: Part I Prep and the Trip http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=PPfJ4moErD0 Gear Review: Fieldsheer Ranger Perforated Leather Gloves http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=2DMUpddBRsY Held Agadir Gloves Review at RevZilla.com http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=eDORKmL00Zc UGG Perf Logo Driver 7668112 http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=8XWVzX-dxuU Tan Leather Perforated Driving Gloves

Driving gloves

Driving gloves are designed for holding a steering wheel and transmitting the feeling of the road to the driver. They provide a good feel and protect the hands. They are designed to be worn tight and to not interfere with the hands movements. The increased grip allows for more control, and increased safety at speed.Knowledge Center Retrieved on 02/01/2011

True driver’s gloves can be identified because they offer tactile advantages to drivers frequently handling a car near the limits of adhesion. Made of soft leather, drivers gloves are unlined with external seams, which makes them seamless inside so as not to interfere with the sensitivity of the drivers touch on the steering wheel, and subsequently information from where the tire contacts the road. Driver’s gloves feature open knuckles and back for maximum flexibility, ventilation and to reduce stress on the soft, thin, skin tight, leather. Holes punched in fingers and palms for breathability, short cuffs so as not to restrict movement, and a stud fastener closure on the back for proper fit around the wrist.

The finest driving gloves, are hand sewn using Peccary glove leather, although other materials and fasteners may be used.

In history

Leather gloves have also been noted throughout history. The 1592 "Ditchley" portrait of Queen Elizabeth I features her holding leather gloves in her left hand. In the Victorian era , some women would wear undersized leather gloves in an effort to shrink the size of their hands, as small hands were considered a sign of beauty. A Gauntlet (gloves)|gauntlet , which could be a glove made out of leather or some kind of metal armor, was a strategic part of a soldier's defense throughout the Middle Ages , but the advent of firearms phased hand-to-hand fighting out of most military engagements. As a result, the need for gauntlets also disappeared. As far back as the Old Testament book of Leviticus , the Jews were instructed to show their leather gloves to priests if it appeared the mildew was growing on them, and if so, the gloves would be considered unclean.
More recently in history, Tommie Smith and John Carlos held up their leather glove-clad fists at the awards ceremony of the 1968 Summer Olympics . Their actions were intended to symbolize Black Power , but they were banned from the Olympics for life as a result of the incident. Yet another of the more infamous episodes involving a leather glove came during the 1995 O.J. Simpson murder case in which Simpson demonstrated that the glove purportedly used in the alleged murder was too small to fit his hand.

In popular culture and fiction

In the film Jackie Brown (film)|Jackie Brown , Samuel L. Jackson 's character wears leather gloves.

A popular depiction of a leather glove in fiction is the use of such a glove by Anakin Skywalker in the Star Wars movies. He wears the glove to cover his robotic hand and to hint at the transformation of Anakin into the antagonist|evil villain Darth Vader .

In the television show Bonanza , Joe Cartwright famously wore black leather gloves.

Another example of leather gloves in fiction is in the Hitman (computer game series)|Hitman video games. Codename 47|Agent 47 , the main character, is an assassination|assassin who typically wears a suit, tie, and prominently-displayed black leather gloves.

In a Celebrity Jeopardy& #33; (Saturday Night Live)|Celebrity Jeopardy! sketch on Saturday Night Live , Sean Connery (as portrayed by Darrell Hammond ) humorously refers to a leather glove being an object out of which people drink water.

Mittens

Gloves which cover the entire hand but do not have separate finger openings or sheaths are called mittens . Generally, mittens still separate the thumb from the other four fingers. They have different colours and designs. Mittens have a higher thermal efficiency than gloves as they have a small surface area exposed to the cold.

The earliest mittens known to archeologists date to around 1000AD in Latvia . Mittens continue to be part of Latvian national costume today. Wool biodegradable|biodegrades quickly, so it is likely that earlier mittens, possibly in other countries, may have existed but were not preserved. An exception is the specimen found during the excavations of the Early Medieval trading town of Dorestad in the Netherlands. In the harbour area a mitten of wool was discovered dating from the 8th or early 9th century.Brandenburgh, Chr., 'Textile production and trade in Dorestad', Willemsen, A. & Kik, H. (reds.), Dorestad in an international framework. New research on centres of trade and coinage in Carolingian times (Turnhout 2010), 83-88.
Many people around the Arctic Circle have used mittens, including other Balts|Baltic peoples , Aboriginal peoples in Canada|Native Americans and Viking s. Mittens are a common sight on Ski slopes, as they not only provide extra warmth but extra protection from injury.

Idiot mittens describes two mittens connected by a length of yarn, string or lace, threaded through the sleeves of a coat. This arrangement is typically provided for small children to prevent the mittens becoming discarded and lost; when removed, the mittens simply dangle from the cuffs.

Scratch mitts refers to mittens which do not separate the thumb, and are designed to prevent babies who do not yet have fine motor control from scratching their faces.

'''Gunner's Mittens' In the 1930s special fingerless mittens were introduced where a flap was located in the palm of the mitten so a hunter or soldier could have his finger free to fire his weapon. Developed for hunters first in the frigid zones of the US and Canada, eventually most military organizations copied them.

Standards

There are a number of different European standards that relate to gloves. These include:

BS EN388- Mechanical hazards including Abrasion, cut, tear and puncture.

BS EN388:2003 - Protective Against Mechanical Rist (Abrasion/Blade Cut Resistance/Tear Resistance/Abrasion Resistance)

BS EN374-1:2003 Protective Against Chemical And Micro-Organisms

BS EN374-2- Micro-organisms

BS EN374-3- Chemicals

BS EN420- General requirements for gloves includes sizing and a number of health and safety aspects including latex protein and chromium levels.

BS EN60903- Electric shock

BS EN407- Heat resistance

BS EN511- Cold resistance

BS EN1149- Antistatic

These exist to fulfill the PPE requirements.

PPE places gloves into three categories:

Minimal risk - End user can easily identify risk. Risk is low.

Complex design- Used situations that can cause serious injury or death.

Intermediate - Gloves that don't fit into minimal risk or complex design categories.
