glovers
Handwear makers, plural
Glovers is the plural of glover, a person who makes or sells gloves.
The term survives mainly in surnames and historical references to the trade: The Glovers' Guild regulated the craft in medieval London.
Like other occupational terms (smiths, tanners, coopers), it marks a once-common profession now largely industrialized.
