Good story! I've got a box of worn out gloves in the shop. Savin' them for hard times. I quit buying the big packages of a dozen chinese made gloves. I swear, I can't make it from the house to the barn before the thumb comes unstitched where it joins the palm. Good idea on turning an orphan wrong side out to make one fit the other hand.
