Gloves, Past and Present

"Gloves, Past and Present" by Willard M. Smith is a journey through time, revealing the surprisingly important story of gloves. Smith, a veteran of the glove industry, noticed that most people don't realize just how interesting gloves are. He wanted to change that by sharing his knowledge of their past and how they were made. From their use in fancy ceremonies to their connection with kings and queens, gloves have played a bigger role in history than many think. Smith uses his book to show how gloves were more than just something to keep your hands warm; they were symbols of class, style, and skill.
