| A ladies glove die. The majority of the glove tools were made here in Gloversville New York dating back to the 1800s. Inspirational. You bet. This would be called a clicker die. Used in an air compressed cutting machine allowing for hundreds of gloves to be cut in one action. And also allowing for the most ill fitting gloves. Factories use this method to make garbage for your hands. I don't use the dies in that manner. I block cut. I lift an 80 pound maul into the air and strike the back of the die to cut my gloves. One at a time. All made by hand. Old world. The most beautiful hand made gloves in the world. One man. One pair of gloves at a time. |
