Several pairs of the gloves which are being used in
the 'Daphne's Glove' project have been made by the company Dents,
founded in 1777, which is possibly the oldest British glove maker still
in existence today. Although the project gloves are mostly made from
mixed fibres or nylon, the leather glove making shown in this film clip
gives a good insight into the glove making process. Taken from the BBC
programme, Flog It, from 2010, do take a look at how Dent's heritage
leather gloves are still made by hand.
