Gloves are just plain useful, yet we only wear them in the most extreme of circumstances today- safety in our jobs or against harsh weather. Why did we stop? And if we're going to bring them back for everyday fashion we have a lot of research and work to do. When do we wear them or take them off? What style for what occasion? What colors? Fabrics? And how do we even begin to pattern and make a pair?
The history of glove wearing goes back thousands of years. Examples can be found preserved in Egypt that look nearly the same as our modern gloves. Whether they're leather, knit, lace, or dripping in gold, gloves provided warmth, protection, cleanliness, and above all else- fashion. There were certainly eras where they were more popular- it's difficult to imagine most of the 19th century without some type of hand covering.
The 1920s went all out when it came to gloves. Patterns, appliques, lace, embroidery, buttons, and so much more. Though fashion was far more casual than it had ever been, gloves were still a standard part of everyday wear and etiquette. It would be another 50 years before they faded from popularity for all but the most formal or functional use.

This discussion of gloves reminded me of a story my mom told me about from her childhood in the 1950s. She was about 5 and her mother had taken her out shopping. As she was a proper lady, Bubbe was wearing her white gloves as they were going about looking at things in the stores. Once they had finished, Bubbe told mom that she could have an ice cream cone as a treat because she had been so good and she could choose the flavor. Mom got a chocolate and got about 3 licks in before the scoop of ice cream fell off the cone. Bubbe had excellent reflexes and before she had processed what she was doing, caught the chocolate ice cream with her white gloved hand. My mother remembers the look of horror to this day.

This is an adorable memory to have! I'm quite a bit younger (only in my 30s), but I can remember being put in gloves as a small child for church, but I usually managed to ruin them somehow. I've seen photos of my grandmother as a younger woman in the mid-50s wearing them begrudgingly, but by 61ish, she had completely stopped😂. My great grandmother, though, she kept wearing church gloves at least until she went to the nursing home. I miss seeing it on the older ladies around me, it was always so cool and elegant looking. This "post-pandemic" era sounds like the PERFECT time to bring it back, complete with the general rules for wearing and everything. (I realize we're still battling the illness; just echoing what I've heard this current time being referred to.) We can sell this thing on "eco-friendly" reusable gloves 😂

My mom had memories of hats and gloves from the 1950s, which she shared with me. It's was definitely a different way of thinking, and the white ones were a pain to keep clean. I wish that hats and gloves were more fashionable than they are in modern fashion. I suppose if one wanted to evoke a style from a different era, one could go out grocery shopping and see what happens.

@@TudorositiesbyMaureen my grandmother was in her teens and 20s in the 50s and 60s and she got a gorgeous hat one day and when she decided to wear it outside for the first time, her mother in law, who was a hat maker, complimented the hat by telling her "you'll never wear a hat a beautiful as this one".

I inherited some gloves from my grandma and mother, both had just as slender hands as I have now and no one else in the family inherited this trait so I'm kind of the only one who can actually wear them. I also inherited the same issue with always having cold hands so as soon as it gets a bit colder I always have a pair of leather gloves in my bag or in my jacket/coat pockets. Pretty sure my oldest pair is at least 60 or more years old by now, my mom is 70 and I turn 30 this year so the fact that these have been around for this long is just amazing to me.

Military dress uniforms (at least the Marine Corps) still require gloves, as do handbell ringers and altar guild workers (in both cases to keep the oils in skin off of metals that tarnish quickly - brass and silver).

It was very involved because her daughter Emily was already quite particular about her clothes. This mystified Jane because she was a jeans and t-shirt kind of person. Must have looked under the wrong cabbage leaf. So anyway, after hours longer and dollars more than Jane had any intention of spending, Jane tried to make a break for the car. At which point, Emily announced they weren't done yet, because she needed matching shoes, bag and belt. Jane proceeded to remind Emily that she was a child, and her grown up mother didn't own matching shoes and purse. Emily sadly said "I know. We can get those next."

I jumped down the Regency glove rabbit hole a few months ago. I found out that formal dress gloves didn't yet have buttons at the wrists and were somewhat baggy, much to my surprise. They came up above the elbows and were allowed to sag down to the elbow. This allowed a daring bit of skin to be visible between the bottom of the gown sleeve and the glove. Sexy! Most formal gloves were of white kid-skin but yellow "mouse-skin" was also popular. Mouse-skin was actually the hides from unborn calves or goats. (Gross!) I didn't have much hope of finding gloves in that style but thought I would give it a shot. Surprisingly I found them on eBay from a Canadian seller. They are modern gloves made of sheepskin but look just like the extant examples and fashion plates from 1800-1810. There's two different listings. One is a length over 50 cm and one 48 cm. They come in a few different colors including white and yellow. The large size fits my size 8 hands just right. This is the first time I have ever found evening gloves the right size and length. The visual difference they make in a costume is amazing. I highly recommend gloves now.

Regarding gloves to keep your hands clean: As soon as you touch the outside of the glove with your bare hand, you have touched everything the glove has touched. Washing your hands often and using hand sanitizer is more effective for keeping your hands clean, unless you are touching something visibly soiled.

Indeed. As a food service worker (grocery store deli), I spent the entire Covid crisis sighing over the sheer ridiculousness of people's glove wearing habits. I go through the best part of a box of disposable gloves in an 8-hour shift because you have to change them with each change of task or each touch of something not food-safe-clean. You remove them by hooking a finger inside the wrist and turning them inside out so that you never actually touch the contaminated outside surface. Obviously this doesn't work with leather fashion gloves. Just wash your hands. It's easier and more effective. :D

Also, for evening or 3/4 gloves it was proper to unbutton the wrist and work the hand out, tucking the fingers of the gloves up into the wrist so that you didn’t need to ruin the line of the covered arm and the need to find somewhere to keep your gloves for the entire meal or night of dancing.

It's called The Blue Book of Social Usage and it's available as a pdf online. It has whole chapters on both men's and women's clothing and what's appropriate when and where.

I’m glad to see you included the blue gloves you made! I recall seeing you sewing gloves on one of Abby’s recent videos and hoped we’d see more about them.

@shalynbass-mcfaul787 2 года назад

Agreed! As someone with lifelong eczema on my hands, I have particular reasons to wish they were standard more of the year (saves me embarrassment, leather helps protect them, etc) but I also love the look of them. I'm disappointed that the Theo in Hill House didn't translate into everyone jumping back on wearing gloves more often. As it is, I have to wait out the warmer weather months in order to not look like a serial killer in my leather gloves.

Try gloves lighter colors, they may be less menacing.

Those are amazing! I’ve always loved gloves-I was born in the early 50s so I remember wearing gloves when I was dressed up. Usually they were short, white cotton. I love wearing gloves in the winter. Thank you for letting me come along on your shoes, gloves, and clothing adventures.

A tiny bit of personal glove history: We, my mother, my sister and I, wore gloves to church in the late 60s: wrist-length white knit gloves. (I was born in 1963.) Neither habit lasted much into the 70s.

@jeanlee1911 2 года назад

in the 60's and early 70's I was born in 1965) every Easter we girls received a new dress, white shoes, white purse a bonnet and white gloves. by the time my daughter came along in 1998 i could not find the little sets in the stores anymore to continue the tradition. sadly. I was recently gifted my grandmothers 1950ish leather red driving gloves

@amandawright2388 2 года назад

Those are gorgeous gloves! I whole-heartedly agree that we should bring back glove wearing.😊

@LoverofHistory 2 года назад

I loved learning more about the history of gloves and when they went out of style! Throughout the past couple years, I've definitely noticed that I feel safer when I've been wearing my leather gloves in grocery stores and such. It would be cool if gloves came back into style. The ones you made are so lovely!! I'm looking forward to seeing more of your new wardrobe in the future! Take care :)

@deborahhouse9569 Год назад

You're so clever. My mum always used to say " A lady is known by her neat boots, gloves and pocket handkerchief". Her mother was a true late Victorian which is why it was such an old fashioned phrase. As children we wore white, holey gloves in summer for going out in a smart dress. I still have two pretty Victorian glove boxes which we important because leather gloves were an investment.

@andinarizkia 2 года назад

I always LOVE gloves as far I can remember. I remember asking my mom to buy me "sapu tangan" (napkin) thinking it's the same thing as "sarung tangan" (gloves) and got SO disappointed when instead of glorious gloves, I got squared towel-ish napkin (it was cute though, I didn't protest because by then I knew it was my fault for misspelling what I wanted) I love how it looks with dresses, with suits, jackets. It doesn't really go with "casual look" but I'm not casual anyway, so I would love to also start wear it more!😊

@GamyH 2 года назад

Oh yes, my grandma told me when she was young her and her mom used to sew gloves for a company, by hand, and they'd get in the cut out gloves and send back the made up ones, but my Gran wouldn't wear a thimble and she'd tear her fingers up everytime.

@healinggardens-terribowlby3129 2 года назад

Very impressive! And I enjoyed the history lesson. I vividly recall an Easter Sunday wearing little black patent leather shoes, white knee socks, a peppermint pink suit, white hat with an elastic under my chin AND a pair of white cotton gloves in which I kept my quarter for the church collection plate. I love gloves. Thank you!

@marilynwoodard7961 2 года назад

I remember when ladies wore hats and gloves to go to town. There are some ways in which I am glad we don't have to be so formal (wearing nylon stockings held up by garters on your girdle in the summer...ugh!) but I think I prefer formality to seeing women in oversized t-shirts, leggings, and fuzzy slippers at the grocery store! The making of your fabulous gloves was fascinating. I have always thought it would be nice to have handmade gloves, as my hands are large and my fingers are long, but I'm not sure I would enjoy the intricate process!

@AndromedaCripps 2 года назад

I have been wanting vintage gloves for a while, and had to make some gloves for a cosplay for a con last week, and so I thought it might be good practice for making a daywear version! I just sort of winged it and they turned out… good enough for cosplay 😅 I WISH THIS VIDEO HAD COME OUT LIKE 2 WEEKS EARLIER 😭😭 Or that I had seen your earlier glove video!! I just sort of guessed on a lot of the pattern pieces based on a pair of modern fitted (winter) gloves I have, but I missed so many intricacies like the gussets and such. Well, I said it would be a trial run anyway 😅

@Eruvadhril 2 года назад

I hadn't seen double needles before. The perfectly-parallel rows of stitches look so good! I'll need to see whether it's an option on my machine.

@NicoleRudolph 2 года назад

It should be! They attach just like regular sewing needles. Just need to make sure the bottom plate can accept the width (if you can do a zig-zag it's fine)

@user-ic5xu4jh6z Год назад

@@NicoleRudolph Hi Nicole, I sew exclusively with a 316G Singer sewing machine which can also do zig zag stitches but everything else I sew on antique machines from the 1900's-1920's so I would have to forego double needles. The leather I used was quite thin, but probably not thin yet and not stretchy enough to try to make a right hand archery glove, but it was definitely interesting and I use the glove sometimes. I would be very interested in a video on the different properties and strengths of leather, as there are many differences, including when it comes to getting wet, as I am interested in sewing medieval shoes. Finally, dear Nicole, it should be mentioned that I love your videos, it is a pleasure to listen to you and to be part of your work

@rodneyferris4089 2 года назад

When I was young ladies always wore gloves outside of the home orbit formal occasions but no longer at intimate teas and certainly not at table unless it was a white tie occasion. Also in the 50’s a lady could unbutton the wrist and fold the glove back so she could smoke or drink as these two things were general. My Granny told me that up until the end of the First War the ladies always went to their own smoking and sipping room. They would replace their gloves before they left the dining room. The gloves you are showing are mostly outerwear gloves. When I was tiny we had to wear gloves to Church. Boys and girls. If us boys were required to shake a person senior to us we were required to remove our right glove to shake hands, like the Vicar after service.

@laurensternenberg7635 2 года назад

In the 40’s &50’s my mom had a love/hate relationship with gloves. She needed them to be a well dressed lady working in an office, but it meant she couldn’t read the newspaper on the subway ride in because the ink rubbed off on them so easily. One didn’t want to be seen with smudged gloves, and you certainly wouldn’t take them off on a dirty old train. From the 60’s to the mid 70’s we only wore them to church, especially Easter Sunday. It was a big deal to get gloves with lace trim to wear on Easter.

@pong9000 2 года назад

On the subway sitting across from your office-lady mother my grandma concealed her farm-girl washer-woman calloused hands beneath white gloves; and those two women, for a moment in time, were social equals!

@kathleeenmcclintock4931 2 года назад

As a kid in the 60s, Easter Sunday required new hat, white purse and white gloves! Loved them!

@cam4636 2 года назад

My grandmother said it was the fashion when she was young (she would've been a teen-young adult in 1930's-40's New York City) to wear a glove on your left hand then carry the other glove. No idea if this had a practical purpose or how long it lasted.

@howcanikeepfromsinging Год назад

I can appreciate people's interest in vintage or historical aspects of dress that are no longer ubiquitous. The good thing about them not being necessary is that I as an Autistic don't need to have things on my hands and head, and others can choose to. Personally i'd prefer stays to make a comeback.

I recently watched a RU-vid video of Gypsy Rose Lee removing evening gloves. Very dramatic (considering her life’s vocation). Loved your back history and the making of the gloves. Thank you.

@hoosierhilary2553 2 года назад

In DAR, it's still dress code to wear gloves in the evening and with a hat to memorial services, particularly for receiving lines, as it's hygienic for shaking lots of hands. Being in DAR has gotten me wearing summer gloves more to church and restaurants, and I wear a hat most of the time too. Would love a wider selection of colors to match hats.

Nicole, such beautiful and intricate work! I wanted to applaud you at the end! I love the gloves! I appreciate your research and your presentation style as well. (Also, I love that your videos are clean enough that I can watch them around my family without worrying about offensive language. My son wandered into a lesson on the history of jeans and graphic tees while I was folding laundry yesterday!) When I was a teenager in the '90s I sewed a few pairs of vintage-looking gloves on my machine, using my older sister's long spandex prom gloves as a pattern. The stretchy lace pair and knit cotton ones turned out best. It was really fun! But wearing them to church and casual parties undoubtedly helped solidify me in the eyes of my friends as the strange, awkward, homemade, homeschooled girl I definitely was.

@isabellaleifsdottir 2 года назад

I wear gloves all the time and agree, they should be more popular, so good both for keeping your hands clean and warm

@marikotrue3488 2 года назад

The final reveal was impressive. Those gloves are stunning! Whatever one wears to an occasion, those gloves will be what everyone will remembers and returns should the wearer mislay one. Excepting shoveling snow, I have stopped wearing "traditional" gloves for warmth. Mostly due to the simple fact that I ALWAYS lose one glove. I tried buying dups and guess what, 3 right handed gloves left from purchase of 3 pairs. I went right down hill when I aged past those toddler gloves that attach to snow suits.Oddly enough, I have been able to "hold onto" fingerless gloves. A plus for those gloves is that right/left is not as big an issue.

@marytyus1 2 года назад

I enjoyed the video so much. I remember in the 60s wearing my lace gloves to church. It was always exciting to get a new pair for Easter each spring. Your gloves are amazing, you did a wonderful job in creating them.

@eurydice5890 2 года назад

this is the perfect video!! I've been wanting to make gloves for sometime (simple gloves, non necessarily historical looking) and I couldn't find how to deal with the fingers (surely due to bad research on my own part). Now I'll watch this video three or four more times and attempt to make ones myself.

@terrijuanette486 2 года назад

When I was in St. Louis (MO) years ago, I frequented a local antique store. On several occasions I was able to purchase hand sewn gloves. My favorites by far were the ones with the seams on the OUTSIDE. I'm sure they were sewn with a wider seam and trimmed down as far as possible, but they were glorious to wear. Inside seams in gloves grate on my hands. Seams on the outside (it 'seems' to me, LOL) make the finger look longer. I have, since then, tried to locate a pair of leather gardening gloves with outside seams. Alas, they are not to be found (not by me). With your video, I can make them. Thank you. P.S. One difference with my 'fave' pair and your blue ones is that the seams were not whip stitched on the edges of the fingers. They were straight stitched. But maybe for leather working gloves, doing both is advisable?

@user-mv9tt4st9k 2 года назад

I had several vintage pairs of gloves in suede, kid, knit, and cotton. One of my favorite pair was brown suede with straight-stitched white thread seams on the outside. Back in the 80s and 90s the prices were reasonable. The gloves did not last, though, because I wore them constantly.
