Historical Association notes:

Walter Demuth was the retiring Master Glover of the Worshipful Company of Glovers of London in 2005 and gifted a pair of these gloves to guests at the Banquet at the end of his year of office. Walter Demuth wrote about his choice (in 2018): "Discussed with Robert Yentob, Chairman of Dents, and he suggested this particular glove as being fashionable without being ostentatious".
