Formal settings required the use of white gloves, do not stain them. Let be white.
In the Victoria and Albert museum there are several examples of white gloves from this period. It may take me a bit to find the ones with the button closure. If you can access their website you should be able to look for them too. Bath Museum has images as well. I will see what I can find but if you or anyone else finds them first please post urls. :) Chiara On Fri, October 6, 2006 3:26 am, Bjarne og Leif Drews said: > Hi, > Its 1770 - 1780. > > Bjarne > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Chiara Francesca Arianna d'Onofrio" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Historical Costume" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Thursday, October 05, 2006 10:00 PM > Subject: Re: [h-cost] glove question > > >> What is your time period of reenactment? >> >> That will drive what kind of button/button hole and color. >> >> Chiara >> >> >> On Thu, October 5, 2006 2:11 pm, Bjarne og Leif Drews said: >>> Hi, >>> I have baught myself a pair of white gloves, the type that high >>> rank >>> officers uses here in Denmark for formal occations. >>> I wanted to use them for my reenacting, but i wondered. >>> They have velcro tape at the inner wrist, wich i will remove off >>> cause, >>> should i make a dorset button and buttonhole instead? >>> What about the white ness of them, they are bright white, should >>> i >>> dip them >>> in tea? >>> >>> Any suggestions very much apreciated.......... >>> >>> Bjarne >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> Leif og Bjarne Drews >>> www.my-drewscostumes.dk >>> >>> http://home0.inet.tele.dk/drewscph/ >>> >>> >>> _______________________________________________ >>> h-costume mailing list >>> [email protected] >>> http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume >>> >> >> >> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> h-costume mailing list >> [email protected] >> http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume >> > > _______________________________________________ > h-costume mailing list > [email protected] > http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume > _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
