I just used that title to catch your attention. Actually, it’s the name of one of my poems in Volume 44, Number 2 of the fine poetry magazine, California Quarterly, edited by Pearl Karrer.   “Taking Off Our Clothes” (p. 44) is joined by “The Glove Factory” (p. 34),  a narrative poem inspired by a tiny glove store I saw in a walk-up in Brooklyn.  Check it out.
