glover
Leather hand artisan
A glover is a person who makes or sells gloves.
The trade was once common enough to become a surname—Shakespeare's father was a glover in Stratford.
The occupation has largely disappeared with industrial manufacturing, though the word persists in family names and occasional specialty shops.
