I've got a bit of an odd question, you've mentioned glove language a few times when writing Laurence and I was wondering if you had any resources/notes on it? I've spent a fair few hours trying to find helpful resources but to no avail lol. Don't feel pressured to answer this of course! I adore your writing and hope you're having a wonderful day!
So, this is the second version of this answer. The first one was shorter but much, much messier. I apparently had a lot to say on the topic. Thank you, anon, I’m glad you enjoy my fics (and enough to go looking into something from one of them)! The answer about resources is… uh, kinda.
Alright, so I’m gonna be upfront: these have citations, but the citations mean very little to me. I don’t have the academic grounding to speak to how accurate these are, and I’d ask you to treat this as a basis for hobby and fiction only. That being said, most sites talking about glove language are going to source one book from 1890: The Mystery of Love, Courtship and Marriage Explained by Henry J Wehman. (By the by, there are several guides to etiquette and manners from the Victorian period, and some of them are really funny.) If you want more detailed or vetted information about Victorians, I’d actually recommend jumping around the historical essay section of YouTube. Bernadette Banner has a lot of really cool videos on period clothing, just to start. 
Resources first:
This is the site I used when I was writing bits with glove language in Bloodborne fics last year. The page inludes an illustration showing different glove lengths (measured by buttons) https://victorianweb.org/art/costume/gloves.html
For a version that’s more accessible to e-readers, this has the relevant image transcribed: https://www.geriwalton.com/gloves-and-flirting-language/
Here’s some on handkerchief and fan flirtations: https://susannaives.com/wordpress/2012/02/the-mystery-of-love-marriage-and-courtship-explained-handkerchief-and-fan-flirtations/
Some stuff about rings and love letters: https://susannaives.com/wordpress/2012/06/victorian-lessons-how-to-flirt-with-gloves-the-importance-of-ring-position-and-writing-love-letters-that-get-you-married-or-not/
And some images talking about parasol, window, fan flirtations: https://mollybrown.org/the-language-of-flirtation/
Some notes about how I approach writing details in Bloodborne:
Usually I’ll find out about something by accident, google it a while, make a few notes, and then run with something I think would be interesting. This isn’t the best way to go about it, and I’m certainly missing nuance and details by handling it like this, but it’s fun and it gives readers something to follow up on their own time if they care to.
With gloves, I’d encourage you to look into the variety of nonverbal languages the upper classes used to communicate in Victorian England (floriography, handkerchief, fan and glove flirtations are probably the most prominent) and consider how they might end up applied. Bloodborne being a Japanese game blends really nicely, since Japanese is also a fairly indirect language and culture, so meaning can be inferred by layering in details and context.
Some real life notes about gloves: gloves were expensive, historically, and the patterns and techniques to make them are guarded by guilds. Handmade gloves tend to be better quality and more expensive; you can tell if a glove is handsewn by checking the fingers. Pointed fingertips are handsewn gloves, while machine-sewn gloves are squared off. I tend to draw workman’s gloves with square tips even if them being handsewn would make more sense (Gehrman seems like he’d make his own gloves) for the rougher appearance it grants. Kid leather is a high-quality leather made from kids (young goats) that’s valued for being supple, thin, but reasonably durable. You can learn more about leather finish by looking at the wikipedia page for grades of leather. Kid leather gloves were a very expensive accesory, the sort of thing you’d expect to see at a ball. Cainhurst gloves are probably Kid leather. 
For the Victorians, a glove was a symbol of good breeding, and functioned both as a fashion accessory and a way to keep the hand clean and unmarred (as marred hands were considered a mark of… well, labour.) For the Church Doctors, the gloves also inoculate them against disease (Laurence please get that out of your mouth my god) and keep them from cutting their fingers on glass or rough materials. So you’ve got this intermingling of a social ideal (perfect smooth hands) and a functional one (not getting sick because you cut your finger) and then blend in questions of fashion and taste and, possibly, more functionality (colour, cut, decoration). On the note of decoration, Victorians had a lot of ways to make things look more expensive than they really were. Pearls made of paste, or paper-mache finished to look like gold, comes to mind. So it’s possible that people who want to have a rank in the Church but haven’t quite managed, are trying to dress up their gloves (or any part of their costume) to look more important than they are. So with that you might utilise subpar stitching, obvious or sloppy patch jobs, or decorations like fake pearl buttons. 
Also! Gloves are fitted! It’s easy to forget since we live in a world with one size fits all garments, but a glove would’ve been made for someone, usually — which means they aren’t interchangeable, and it’s obvious if someone is wearing poorly fitted or stolen gloves, because they don’t quite fit. This would also be an impediment to their work, as anyone who’s ever tried to do anything with badly fitting gloves on can attest.
Gloves might have started as something only worn by ranking members, or at least, the nice gloves (gauntlets aren’t cheap either, but they’re not specialised for delicate work the way I suspect the Choir gloves are), and trickled down to all but the poorest hunters later as they realised that the less skin a hunter exposed, the less likely they were to become afflicted. I’m very interested in the idea of Yharnam’s fashion trending towards covering up as the disease worsened, probably mirroring some real world trends in the process (for example, in North America, fashion silhouettes tended towards straight lines during the 1920’s at least in part because it was considered gauche to try to look curvy while the poor were starving to death). 
The Choir gloves aren’t actually tight in the game or the concept art, by the by. They’re loose, and fastened at the wrist with laces, making them adjustable. I haven’t seen laced gloves in a period reference, but it’s a very interesting detail; it would be more adjustable than buttons, though perhaps as likely to catch on things. It also echoes the lacing down the sleeves of the Choir robes, which is just nice from a design angle. 
Gloves came in more colours and styles than white and short/long. At one point, lavender day gloves were a thing for men to wear while visiting acquaintances. (The visiting is a whole other thing. If you don’t know about Victorian visiting, I highly recommend giving that a quick search. Calling cards for gentlemen were a thing, and some of them were really weird.)
A note that’s somewhat disconnected from the rest, but feels relevant: Victorians had a mourning period after the death of a family member, where all of a mourner’s clothing was expected to be dyed black, including gloves. (This was apparently achieved with a large vat of hot water, dye, and pushing the fabric around inside with a stick. I’m still fascinated by the concept.) And fashion in general was much slower in this period: people had mostly the same pieces of clothing from year to year, repairing them regularly and modifying them to keep up with current trends. Patch jobs would be another useful way of gauging a character’s status, since subtle or invisible mending is something that amateurs usually aren’t capable of managing. A well-maintained (or outright replaced) item speaks to the owner having some spending money. 
The Victorian period had a lot of really specific details that won’t necessarily make sense without historical grounding. I’ve felt like I’m trying to learn another language over the last two years from working on Bloodborne fic, to be totally honest with you, and it’s involved a lot of period literature, looking at fashion plates, listening to various videos on historical fashion… there’s a lot of resources if you know where to look, and I’ve barely scratched the surface. That being said, I’m less interested in the romanticism of the era and more of all the unpleasant things that their day to day culture thrived on (and was used to cover up). The gloves end up being a really nice way to talk about it: an expensive status symbol that protects the wearer from harm, and has probably come to have threatening connotations in the eyes of the populace. Can’t you just picture citizens shrinking back from the sight of black Church gloves?
All of this to say, minding a Hunter’s gloves is probably an excellent way of determining their general status. Compare a Choir member’s immaculate gloves to a wannabe cleric with amateur-sewn, slightly discoloured leather, and paste-pearl buttons trying to bluff their way through the Church, to a Workshop Hunter’s scabbed work gloves, to the ashy, oil-stained, reinforced gauntlets of a Charred Hunter. 
Hopefully there was something of use in there for you, anon. As a sign off: the Victorian period had veils as a fashion accessory for ladies, and those are totally applicable to Bloodborne as well. If you need clothing references, look up Harper’s Bazar fashion plates plus the year or decade you’re aiming for. This can be done for outfits or accessories. A lot of items in this period were homemade or modified; richer houses might buy all new accessories or clothes from the best shops, but middle-class houses were more likely to… well, buy one or two new items of middling quality and then modify them to look better, so far as I can find. Whether a glove was kept in good repair by house staff or the owner, or… not kept in repair at all, would tell you a lot. And paying attention to that sort of subtlety is at its heart how glove language functions anyway: looking for context cues to draw inferences before you choose to speak.
Going to close out again with, I am a hobby writer learning about this stuff on my own time. If you have something relevant to add, please feel free, but if you’re looking for definitely-historically-accurate information on the period, I would at most use this as a jump off point to search and verify things. I hope this was of some use, and happy writing!

Public Relations Final Project
In my mastery journey reflection, I quoted “marketing management involves carrying out tasks to achieve desired exchanges with a particular targeted market.” (Wehman & Revell, 2006) That is what I have achieved and learned throughout the course of my Public Relations Degree program from Full Sail University. 
At the start of my capstone course, I was confident in the work I’d spent the last year building. Just as the quoted text states, the goal is to help the client achieve their desired outcomes for their target Market. This capstone course helped me reflect on the amazing year I’ve spent working closely with my capstone client and helping them achieve a dream and business venture all the same. 
Not only have I advanced my skills in marketing, but I’ve also achieved several relevant endorsements to support my work as a Public Relations Practitioner. During this four-week course, I created and pitched a press release for another client that has been picked up by 253 journalists with 183.6 million views. The critical feedback that Dr. Dobry has shared has helped me not only improve my delivery of my work as a publicist, but to incorporate multi-media and other visual aids that improve the delivery. 
My original goal for this class was to redefine my current skills and improve the work I’ve created throughout this degree program. I have fulfilled that goal while adding relevant work toward my portfolio. This course has helped me build confidence in pitching myself as a Publicist and being savvy in the current market. I am confident that I have completed my capstone by delivering quality work and will take all the feedback my peers and Dr. Dobry have provided to help with my future endeavors. I have begun seeking additional career opportunities in this field and look forward to what the future will bring.

Cody - Denton, Texas - 2023 I met Cody in the first day on my freshman year in college some 25 years ago. We were roommates for five+ years during college and a few years after. This picture was on the day before he and his family left Texas to move to Vermont. I really need to take more pictures of people in my life. This was shot with the Wehman 8x10 and a Schneider 210mm f5.6 Apo-Sironar-W lens on TMax-400. The exposure was f11 for 1/30 sec. #largeformatfilmphotography #largeformat #wehmancamera #8x10viewcamera #8x10 #kodak #kodaktmax400 #schneider210mm #portraitphotography #largeformatportrait #8x10portrait #blackandwhite #tmax400 (at Denton, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqQ4cUcOubt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
