One-line definition
A glove fetish is a marked preference for gloves: their material, touch, visual line, and air of authority.
Full definition
Gloves do several things at once: the material itself (leather, latex, or satin, each its own register), touch made deliberate by a layer of mediation, and the authority gloves have carried for centuries, from surgeons and officers to ladies at the opera. The slow act of putting them on or peeling them off is half the fetish’s theatre.
