By Stacey Burt


The history of glove goes back to antiquity. In some translations of Homer's Odyssey, Laertes is described walking in his garden with glove to guard against blackberries (It is said in other translations Laertes had pulled his long sleeves over his hands). Herodotus in his Histories (440 BC. BC) tells how Leotychides was incriminated by a gauntlet filled with money he received as a bribe (nitrile exam gloves). Xenophon reported in Cyropaedia, the Persians were wearing winter mittens.

In Europe in thirteenth century, some women began to wear glove as ornaments. They were made of linen and silk and sometimes reached the elbow. In sixteenth century, Queen Elizabeth launched the fashion richly embroidered and set with precious stones glove. Henry II of England was buried with glove on his hands. It was also found glove on hands of King John of England when his tomb was opened in 1797, and those of King Edward I when his tomb was opened in 1774.

Then, after the Norman conquest of England, glove have begun to appear more and more, until they have become, by the humble and rough objects, an item of clothing noble. They started to evolve to become like those of today, that allow you to move all fingers with ease. In North America, the Cowboys are known to wear glove to protect skin from the sun and to keep the reins.

Mitten (usually plural use: mittens) is a glove whose fingers are not closed, as if they had been cut. Sometimes the fingers are not defined and the mitten covers only the palm and back of hand. Such as glove, mittens can ride higher or lower on arm. The mitten is generally considered a feminine accessory, although it tends to masculiniser. They can be worn alone or stacked on a glove.

There are also glove (leather) special, reserved to falconry: they are bulky and awkward even if they allow to articulate all the fingers, are used to keep a hawk or another type of Prey, usually on arm. There are some special falconry glove that do not cover the arm but only from the wrist up, are used for small owls and birds not too big.

The leathers can also protect against some risks. Beekeepers use glove to protect themselves from the bees, the builders can also use them to improve the grip (compared to glove mason) and at the same time protect the hand from the cuts, welders use them to protect against electric shock, and heat very high.
