(Japanese Google Translate)
Numan seeks to understand our human ways, and so at times he ventures out into the night looking for adventure. His fashion sense is somewhat dated, but he passes himself off as an eccentric gentleman so it works out in the end.
Yes, I do like dressing up as an android with odd taste in clothing. Numan and I are both figuring out what it means to be human, however odd the results turn out. That and he’s a handsome character! To me.

The gloves he wears are a cotton blend. I recently did buy some rubber gauntlets like those you referenced, and will use them either for Numan in his cleaning duties or with Lubirc the amphibious alien inspector a few pictures back. Right now Numan just wants to pass for an eccentric playboy, but when he needs to he rubbers up for the occasion!
