[Disney] Why do the core Disney characters (Mickey, Goofy etc) wear gloves?
gpt
I argue the answer has more to do with culture of the time in which these characters first came from. While today wearing hats and gloves are possibly ostentatious or at the very least out of style, during the 1930s it was commonplace.

Consider the eponymous coat and hat rack in every resturant or the fact that 100% of cars come with a 'glove box.' It was a different time and while these characters have grown in the ensuing decades they each retain vestigial gloves from a time when they were not just popular but necessary.
