I've only collected one glove in my lifetime. A wilson "bob feller" glove that my dad gave me for my 9th birthday. Somebody will probably toss it after I'm gone, but it's a keeper for me. Found it cleaning out the old house after mom died.
Work Gloves? I just toss 'em when they're worn out...

What is the deal with right gloves disappearing?

Right hand gloves are like 10mm sockets.

How do they not have holes in them? I wear holes in my gloves in less than a year.

I have one pair of original Well Lamont gloves made in America quality that are 35 year old or so. Well um, broken in. I have several crappy knock off Chinese made versions of them that I received as gifts over the years that use and discard when I am working in a muddy hole.
I have several pairs of "winter" gloves in the pockets of my winter coats. Those seem to last forever.

gloves are like socks, you always lose one of the pair.

And another thing... you guys that live in warm enough climates to not need gloves 1/2 the year make me sick...
Because it’s GD cold here half the year and because I have a farm, I have to wear gloves half the time I am doing anything outside. And you need certain gloves for certain things... Fence repairs and fencing... welding gloves. Working outside in the summer - Costco Deerskin work gloves or mechanics gloves. Working outside in the fall - heavy duty snowmobile gloves or retired ski gloves. Welding - welding gloves. General work in the shop - mechanics gloves or no gloves. Working cattle - season dependent. Pulling calves - armpit high disposables. I literally have 3 pairs of gloves in my tractor and 3 pairs of various gloves (actually 2 pairs and 2 spare rights) in my pickup. I hate wearing them but I’ve had frost bite in my fingers before so they are sensitive to cold now.
