👉 The Midwestern Glove, also known as a midshipman's glove or early American naval glove, was used to protect sailors from sea wounds or injuries on deck while under the helm. It was designed with a curved band of leather called a "midshipman's belt" and a thin strip of fabric called a "midshipman's cuff." These materials were made from wool or cotton, and it could be worn over a sailor's cap to protect their head. The term "Midwest Glove" is an allusion to the region where early American maritime companies operated.
