The article headline makes it seem like the factories couldn't make the gloves.

But further down it says that the cost was double and factories couldn't get buyers.

These are very different failure modes, and speak to very different solutions.

One sounds incapable from a skill perspective, the other is incapable from a market perspective. I’ll take the later over the former any day.
