They’ve had a super long relationship, way before she got as wealthy as she is now. It’s a good bra and I’m happy for all involved.

For something like gelatin sequins, yes gloves, because of body heat. But a clean, dry pair of hands is just fine for a lot of things, I think. And you’re also more likely to wash your hands repeatedly than change gloves repeatedly.

It’s funny because in my program we’re actually trained not to use gloves so we can have full sense and dexterity in our fingertips when examining textiles. And something like a rough cotton glove could actually damage a very delicate textile!

Needles come from somewhere. Thread comes from somewhere. Buttons come from somewhere. Even the raw materials to make those things come from somewhere. Tariffs will affect it all.

I did notice that Jamaican sources think he is Paul Bogle, but every non-Jamaican source, including the Smithsonian, credits the photo as Thomas Jennings.

Oh no!!! The lab garments are strictly for working with. Apart from how it almost certainly wouldn’t fit, I’d hate to ruin something like this for future students.
