Ceremonial Gloves for Alderman Timothy Hailes FKC MStJ Hon LLD JP, Sheriff of The City of London 2017-18

Alderman Timothy Hailes commissioned two pairs of white kid gloves to be finely embroidered with his coat of arms in silk and the finest of English-made metal threads.

These were for ceremonial use in his role as Aldermanic Sheriff of The City of London. The gloves were constructed by Chester Jefferies of Dorset. I adore this intricate work which requires ultimate precision on unforgiving fine white leather!
