There were a few ways to get good fitting gloves. One of which was to go to the tanner, and demand that he make you a pair. To stand over him and watch as he cut the leather and measured and stitched. But you know tanners, you have to hound and badger them until they've even come close to getting it right.
He preferred an easier, cheaper, method. Of course, this method wasn't for everybody, and in all his time in this life (which seemed to be longer than normal) he had never met another with his particular talents. Which was well enough, because sharing talents always made it tricky. The better of the two would just have to off the inferior copy, because sharing talents only begot violence. Better to get it all done at once.
It required some knowledge of the human hand. That skin stretched, and that muscle and bone only get in the way, if it wasn't yours. This is where his talent came in handy, you see. Just pluck out the unneeded pieces, slip your hand inside and voila. A glove, made just for you.
Of course, the other person may protest this is a little unfair. It is advised that you ask them to kindly be quiet, fashion is so costly these days.
