AB  - Considered “revolutionary inventions” of the glove industry, the iron fist and the creation of hand sizes in the 1830s brought great fame to Xavier Jouvin (1801-1844). He was a heroic inventor who has inspired a great deal of literature since the end of the 19th century, overshadowing the innovations introduced to the industryby glove manufacturers in search of technical progress during the last quarter of the 19th century. At the beginning of the 20th century, the search for innovations in the product range on the market intensified at a time when the skin glove – which had become commonplace – was no longer as attractive as in the previous century. Glove-making companies were setting up research laboratories and design offices to promote technical progress. They integrated chemists and engineers into their workforce, like Mr. and Mrs. Szmukler working for Établissements Reynier in the 1920s, identifiable on patents and in the technical press.
