The history of glove goes back to antiquity. In some translations of Homer's Odyssey, Laertes is described walking in his garden with glove to guard against blackberries (It is said in other translations Laertes had pulled his long sleeves over his hands). Herodotus in his Histories (440 BC. BC) tells how Leotychides was incriminated by a gauntlet filled with money he received as a bribe (nitrile exam gloves). Xenophon reported in Cyropaedia, the Persians were wearing winter mittens.

At the time of barbarian invasions of barbarians, to protect themselves from the cold, wore mittens made of leather. Glove, which were difficult to achieve, became particularly rare in Barbarians and then the people were fighting to take the clothes. After the invasions the habit was passed on to Europeans.

They, who performed before the activity to protect your hands from the cold, then became apparel indicating nobility. From simple "bags" that enveloped the hands that were in Barbarians, they were developed by purchasing the shape of hand, allowing the movements of all the fingers, although they were often bulky and uncomfortable.

The leathers are also used for sporting events, as in baseball (a baseball glove is but a leather glove large) and in cycling. The first Formula One drivers had the handlebar as that of machines, it was generally made of wood and therefore necessitated the use of this type of glove.

The mittens have the advantage to keep hands warm while maintaining tactile sensitivity of fingertips. Derives from the Old French term moth using -aine suffix. This is probably a metaphorical use of former French mite "pussy Cuddle name" (cf. Mistigri), because of fur animal, probably referring to softness of fur this animal.

If the glove was originally a utilitarian function, leaving the ends open and fingers free to work, they become in eighteenth century fashion accessories, worn indoors by the ladies in a purely aesthetic purpose. This fashion will remain until the nineteenth century. These indoor mittens were diverse: knitted, embroidered, crochet, fishnet or lace. They stopped at the wrist or elbow.

The glove is a garment that the hand fully or partially covered, mainly to protect the wearer's hand against harmful environmental influences, rare to protect the environment from harmful influences by the hand. The hand as the main working tool and a "tool" of people should be protected not only from cold, heat, abrasion and chemical attack by glove, but are also often improves in functionality.

It is often used by the skaters and skateboarders to protect your hands from falls and from certain types of fishing. Moreover, the lack of tissue at the tip of your fingers promotes the use of touch-screen. In early 80s, became popular the use of glove fingerless wool. Michael Jackson is known for putting a fingerless glove on one hand.
