New gloves

Submitted by Frankns on Sat, 07/25/2009 - 9:22am.

My summer job was outdoor work around a factory about 100 miles north of Blue Island, and we treasured our new leather work gloves. We might get two pairs a summer. They were stiff and clumsy when new, but they worked their way into a great suppleness as the summer wore on.

Looks like his gloves are "wearmaster" brand? I did a quick search and I'm not sure if the brand is still around. Anyone know?
