  • Seeking Source for Correct Victorian era Leather Gloves

    Friends,

    I want to add (non white) leather gloves to my officer's impression, as seen in several period photos, for every day wear, not ceremonial use. They will join my new superbly crafted winter mittens by Karin Timor BTW.

    Thoughts on a source and what pattern they should conform to? I am guessing too that they should be hand-stitched. I can find modern British Army officer's leather gloves with a single button at the wrist, both brown and black. The UK firm Dents dates to the 18th C. but they cannot verify that any of their modern gloves date to Victorian times.

    Many thanks for your input,

    Bob

    I can not address your question regarding pattern for military use of leather gloves. And 'Victorian times'
    covers quite a time span as Victoria reigned for over 63 years and clothing styles tended to change. For a source I would suggest you contact Joe Blunt/Carter & Jasper, he had black leather gloves at Chickmauga.
