SKINS OF ARABIA
BRITAIN’S GLOVES OF MANY COLOURS Gloversville, America’s glove metro* polis, is having a show of leathers for gloves, processed in Britain, from skins collected in Arabia, New Zealand, South Africa, the Sudan and in Britain itself. British doeskins, made from the skins of British and New Zealand sheep, are already sought after in U.S.A. and other types have now been specially prepared by Britain’s fifteen foremost tanners. The British Colour Council has selected eight special shades for the collection: Vintage Wine, Gallant Blue, Guardsman Red, Madison Beige, Toffee Tan, Commander Blue, English Tan and Park Brown. The exhibition may go on from Gloversville to Montreal.
