gloves of beaver

Victorian gloves printed with map of London

I've been reading a book about Victorian and Edwardian Fashion - here is some advice from 1839 on what types of gloves 'a gentleman of fashion ought to use':

"In the morning to drive to the hunt: gloves of reindeer.  At the hunt, to follow a fox:  gloves of shammy.  To return to London, gloves of beaver.  To go later for a walk to Hyde Park or escort a lady to pay her visits or to offer her your hand in descending from a carriage: coloured kid gloves, braided.  To go to a dinner party:  yellow dog's skin gloves.  In the evening for a ball or rout:  gloves of white lamb's skin embroidered with silk."
