What is a Glove?

A Glove is an aptronym: a name that is especially suited to the profession of its owner. We call them Gloves because, well, it just seems to fit.

More Gloves, anyone?

Suggestions for more Gloves are welcome. Please email with details if you spot anything you think could be added to our collection.
