WILTSHIRE will be featured heavily in BBC’s Escape to the Country today, as presenter Jules Hudson visits the county to help a couple find a £950,000 home.
Dents glove shop in Warminster will also be featured in the programme, as Mr Hudson looks at the traditions of glove making and inspects some of the iconic gloves in the Dents collection.
Deborah Moore, Dents chief executive, said: “Jules was especially interested in the handsewing techniques and also how to measure the size of a hand.
“This is so important to ensure the ‘perfect fit’ that has helped make Dents such an iconic brand.
“Lord Nelson’s gloves and the gloves of Queen Elizabeth1st are always stand out items, but Jules also looked at the driving gloves we made for Jack Brabham and Stirling Moss and the gloves used in Batman and by James Bond in Skyfall.”
The TV crew also visited the Dents private museum to see the collection of historic gloves and artefacts.
