Glove experiences, updated April 10, 1998
Thank you for noticing that it's not just men who have a healthy obsession with gloves and gloved hands, arms, et cetera.... Normally the response is that a woman couldn't really possess such a fetish, but that is so untrue! I can't tell you exactly when my fascination of the allure & power of a gloved one began or how it developed because, alas, I cannot remember....
My earliest memory of the power that the hands in all of their beauty have over me goes back to about age 7 or 8. An uncle of mine was home for Christmas, as always, but he brought his beautifully petite, proper, and just plain alluring fiance' home to meet the family - she was the true definition of a Southern Belle. :) What caught my attention first though was the gorgeous dark brown, rabbit fur lined, elbow length, form fitting gloves she was wearing. I couldn't take my eyes off of them!!
How strange it was to not be able to look away! After all, I had been raised proper & you were not to stare at anyone or anything - especially not a stranger invited into your home.
I can't remember who noticed, but I was forced to look away after being caught being so rude. I moved to the next room, out of common sight but still in sight of those gloves... I watched the incredible way she moved in them. It was like the gloves were guiding her with every motion, every response. When she took them off, it was more like she turned them off. I watched her delicately fold each one & reverently placed each one in its respective pocket.
Now, I have always been fascinated with hands. Every person's hands are unique & let you in on little secrets of their owners, very discreetly.... I enjoy the hands of everyone, every sex, every age, & every race & creed. This was, however, the first time the glove overcame me with such unbelievable strength!
Later, after every one had gone to bed, I snuck to the coat closet & carefully examined the wonderful gloves.... I was so afraid I would be caught but I couldn't get away from the longing I had to be near them. Now, at such a young age I didn't have much of a clue why they were so powerful to me. Then it was more than enough to touch the soft suppleness of them, to drink in the incrediblely rich aroma of the leather intermingled with the smell of the remnants of the delicately feminine perfume the woman was wearing. At that point, I didn't dare to try one on, for fear that I would taint it somehow.....
Eventually this same woman found out about my obsession with her gloves ( I'm not sure how, but in some strange way I think it was the gloves that gave me away... they told her, somehow, because I never said a word & never was caught with them) She would allow me to try them on, as well as other gloves she had... boy, did she have an impressive collection. Short, long, leather, lace, many colors, styles, .... I could get lost just reminicing about that! This same wonderful woman convinced me that all person's have an "obsession" that they need to love & nurture to be true to themselves. She also bought me my first pair of gloves of my very own......I still have them today.......
Sadly, she & my uncle parted many years ago so I don't know of her anymore. But, wherever she is I thank her, just as I am thanking you for this sight & this chance to share with someone who might understand........
Sincerely,
(a woman, with a great warm thanks for this outstanding confession)

So glad to see a site here dedicated to things I love. A friend told me about your site and said it was a "must visit". I agree. Too bad more ladies do not allow themselves the beautiful and sensuous feel of gloved hands and arms. When I have a chance and it is appropriate with my traveling outfit, I love to wear gloves. Many a man's head has been turned by the sight of my gloved arms and hands. But the most important thing is how they make me feel.....like a very beautiful woman.
Leather is so intriguing... I love the feel and the smell. It appeals to many of our senses. My favorite gloves are satin for the time being, as I am only beginning to enjoy the taste of leather. I do own a pair of leather driving gloves and a pair of leather riding gloves but no long ones....yet.
(next letter:) So kind of you to write me back and especially kind of you to share with me your history with your love for leather fashion and gloves. I grew up at a time when it was the norm for fashionable women to wear gloves when they dressed nicely. I guess my earliest remembrances of ladies in gloves was as a child and seeing the ladies dressed for church or for downtown shopping all dressed up and wearing gloves and hats. To this day I still love to see a woman wearing a hat. It really seems to set her apart from the crowd.
My actual wearing of gloves in business travel has just taken shape over the past couple of years. I travel extensively in my role as a Consultant. I almost always fly first class and love to dress for the occasion. I am short and blonde with deep hazel eyes so the best colors for me seem to be the winter colors of red, black, white and vibrant rich blues. My best outfits for travel are usually business suits with a feminine flair (I don't care for women's suits that look like men's suits) in black and white with gold trim. In winter the black gloves work well and in summer the white. As the other people are boarding the plane and I am sitting in first class, as they pass, I see the admiring look in both the men's and women's eyes that can spot and appreciate class and a sense of fashion. Often I will catch a man's eyes just riveted to my gloves. My hands and gestures are very feminine which furthers the effect. But the most profound effect, is the one that the actual wearing of the gloves has on me....inside. It is a bit hard to explain but I think you know exactly what I mean. On rare occasions I will wear an outfit that just cries for a hat to be worn with it and I do. How wonderful that makes me feel.
I am actually looking forward to this winter to have the oppportunity to indulge myself in some new leathers. Unfortunately, Texas does not have much winter so I will have to seize whatever opportunity comes along. I ride horses and have riding gloves and leather boots but do not have many pairs of boots for business wear. I plan to change that this winter. Tastefully done, even a short woman can wear boots and long or short skirts. I do have one problem with long gloves and boots because my legs and arms are relatively short. I am so jealous of the long legged ladies who can wear the really long boots and gloves. They look so elegant to me. I have a nice leather jacket and a wonderful leather hat.
I have a strong personality, a commanding presence, if you will, and combined with wearing leather, sometimes I think it is a bit intimidating to men. They can be so funny about things like that.
When I was 18 or so, I met a group of bikers that I became fast friends with. I loved all the leather attire they wore and had some of my own for riding with them. This relationship was cut short by marriage to someone who did not necessarily approve of my biker friends. He was a very jealous man but I am very happily divorced from him now.

I am married to Bridget and I have been fascinated with women wearing leather gloves - particularly black gloves - since I was a little boy. I also like leather and boots. Your homepage wonderfully describes the details of the fetish we share! I dislike to see a woman wearing only one glove. I long for her to cover her bare hand with her other glove! Bridget shares my leather fetish but for different reasons. She is an erotic lady who likes to attract attention by dressing in leather. She does not enjoy the feel of wearing it, but she greatly enjoys the attention. When we go out together, she almost always wears black leather gloves, no matter where we are going, or what the temperature is. She wears them so often that she has become very skilled at doing things while wearing them. When we eat at a restaurant, for example, she keeps her gloves on throughout the meal. Once she had duck roasted with the bones in, which she ate using just her knife and fork, without using her hands. She even can put on tiny earrings while wearing gloves. It is very erotic to see her doing things that normally are not done while wearing gloves; it emphasizes them.
Gloves can be very romantic. At sunset, or under a bright moon on a warm evening, a walk on a beach while holding someone's leather gloved hand is very nice! The hand feels warm and very soft, especially if the glove has been on for several hours. I know I'm not the only one who appreciates this. Recently, a lady friend of ours was holding Bridget's gloved hand as we were leaving a restaurant (Bridget had several alcoholic drinks and wanted help balancing herself since she was wearing platform boots with four inch heels) and she remarked "Bridget's hand feels really great in these gloves!" Our friend may not be typical though; we once heard her say "I never met a fetish I didn't like!"
I like it when Bridget wears rings over her gloves, but we haven't done that recently because of a problem; the rings often slip off the glove without our noticing and become lost, even if they are fairly tight. I haven't been able to find a way of securing the ring to the glove without damaging the leather.
Bridget doesn't think of herself as a fetishist; she doesn't wear leather gloves and fetish clothing because of the way it feels on her, but because of its effect on me and others (especially on me!).

My favourite pair of gloves was unlined, glistening jet-black leather, about 8 inches high. I bought it in a store in New York City, and when I bought it I did not know how difficult it would be to get another pair like these. At the first time it was hard to get into, but after some time my hands felt absolutely fabulous inside their leathers. I wear them whenever I can and so they look quite worn. But I do my best to treat them kind.

Ich habe einen totalen Handschuh-Tick und staune, daß es selbst dafür eine Internet-Site gibt. Ich bin 30, verheiratet und habe zwei kleine Kinder. Mein Mann ist kein Fetischist oder so etwas, aber er hat Verständnis für meinen Tick. Manchmal geniert er sich mit mir, wenn ich selbst im Hochsommer Lederhandschuhe trage oder ich zu jedem beliebigen Abendkleid immer wieder mit armlangen Nappagloves ankomme.
Wir haben auch schon miteinander geschlafen und ich hatte dabei Handschuhe an. Er akzeptiert das, findet aber leider keinen besonderen Kick dabei. Er steht mehr auf Unterwäsche, aber das läßt sich ja kombinieren.

(translation: I have a complete thing for gloves and I am surprised to find an internet site for it. I am 30, married and have two small children. My husband is no fetishist but he understands me. Sometimes he is embarassed when I wear leathergloves in hot summer or put armlong kidskin gloves to every single evening dress.
We even made love with me wearing gloves. He liked that but did not get any special kick. He is into underwear, but this can be combined)

When I was 20 I did competition with my friend who could stay longer in gloves during the day. We lived together (not being lesbian but very much talking about erotic issues) and did everything in gloves. Eating, cleaning, reading, watching TV, sometimes even writing.
The weirdest moment was when we visited a public beach in Aland in summer. We had both black bikinis, short leather gloves and matching knee boots. Most of the boys considered us being absolutely crazy, but some approached us and said that they liked our look very very much. It was a intimidating experience which we will not miss.
Now I live alone but still have that glove tick. Here in Denmark it is mostly cold and windy enough to have some reason to wear gloves. Even if most of the people prefer to have cold hands and never wear gloves.

Vermutlich bin ich die älteste Teilnehmerin dieser Runde. Ich bin 66 Jahre alt und finde es furchtbar schade, dass Handschuhe nicht mehr zur normalen Garderobe einer Dame gehören.

Hi, ich bin 35, männlich, nicht schwul, vielleicht aber mit einem Hang zum Transvestiten. Ich bin verheiratet und meine Frau weiss von meiner Neigung, findet sie aber abstossend. Wir kommen so in unsrer Ehe ganz gut zu Recht, aber beim Thema Ledersachen für Frauen und zwar vor allem Stiefel und Handschuhe macht sie leider nie mit. So trage ich selber Handschuhe so oft ich kann und empfinde ein gutes Gefühl dabei.

Great pics! I went crazy when seeing the Jitrios crocodile leather woman. Keep up the good work!

Very interesting what you write about the mystery of fetish. I appreciate your classy style and the absence of XXX-Scenes.
