Banquet of the Worshipful Company of Glovers of London

Historical Association notes:

Manny Silverman was the retiring Master Glover of the Worshipful Company of Glovers of London in 1998 and gifted a pair of these gloves to female guests at the Banquet at the end of his year of office. Manny Silvermann wrote about his choice of gloves (in 2018): "Either leather or other materials are not always suitable to go with evening wear so I decided suede was the right answer. I spoke to Stephen Kirsch who found a light suede material, black was the most useful colour as it goes with any clothes. From comments received subsequently they were very much appreciated by the Guests".
