Are These Gloves Military?

Featured Replies

#1

Does anyone know if these gloves are military? If so, what era? There are no markings anywhere I can see. Material is very soft and stretchy but I don’t know what it is. They came with an overseas cap that I was more interested in. 
Thanks for looking.

To me could be military or a high school band glove. I have a white pair similar to those and I don't recall the era or when/where I picked them up.

My searches didn’t come up with anything. But you give me confidence they are not military.  They do fit me  so I’ll gently use them now and then.

 

Thanks!

I have some white ones like that in cloth and a similar grey pair in leather that I took apart as they were dry anyway. Made a pattern but never made the gloves.

Yeah, gloves used to be a daily wear item.

Wait, you're right. What happened to shock gloves?

I've noticed this for months. Comments, including some of mine, are removed. Occasionally a whole thread is removed.

I have these same white gloves in a footlocker that hasn’t been opened in 80+ years alongside every iteration of army officer dress uniform that you can imagine: mess, blues, white etc.
