It is impossible to create these creases and flaps in gloves that are pressurized to 3.75 psi.

sigh - the outer layer is NOT the pressure skin - one would have expected this to have sunk in by now - the topic has come up before

The gloves could not be "skin tight", however, if anything, the pressurized glove displays a smoother surface than the unpressurized, which makes sense.
Actually, they don't.
They become creased at the joints when you curl your fingers inward, and it creates flaps of excess rubber along the outer edge. Exactly the way oversized rubber gloves appear when you curl your fingers inward!!

You have two opposing claims, which contradict each other.

That's the palm of the glove. A more advanced glove than those used by Apollo.

Saying I don't know how the gloves were constructed is yet another fine example of NOT supporting your claim.
And I'm sure it won't be the last one you try, either.
