"Son of Glove Collecting"
Posted: July 24th, 2009, 1:17 amCould have easily called this thread "Bride of Glove Collecting" or any other b-movie sequel title. In any event, just curious as to what other glove related stuff you guys collect besides actual gloves? We've all come upon collecting dry spells where our innate desire to accumulate things diverts us in different directions and tangents while remaining true to our initial glove focus.
When I began acquiring gloves, that's all I wanted, nothing else. I had no interest in "other" things like silly boxes, catalogs or hang tags. As time passed and droughts occurred, however, I found myself picking up trinkets along the way that related to gloves. Have you found yourself doing this too or are you strictly focused on the leather?
Can you add to this list of glove related collectibles? Perhaps post a photo or two of your favorites.

I think you have evolved way beyond "passion". Although I have to admit they would be cool to see.
I'd suggest that you take a look at Jim's website and checkout his library link. There are oodles of catalogs (still growing) to peruse (as well as glove articles).
