Happy Halloween! 🧤🎃 Once again, our #Watsonators are showcasing their legendary costume creativity, with many looks inspired by some of our favorite glove names, like Lady Baa Baa, Grease Monkey, Green Monkey, Game of Thorns, Heavy Metal, and Corn to Gloves! Great glove names make for even better costumes 👻 Wishing everyone a safe and spooky Trick or Treat! 🍬🏚️ Fun Fact: In the ’70s, our then-new president, Barrie Moore, began giving our gloves unique names and branding—a touch of groovy personality that’s stuck with us ever since! #WatsonGloves #HappyHalloween #Halloween2024 #SpookySeason #TrickorTreat #WorkHardPlayHard
