Thanks guys! Superb work, I didn't think of googling the info on the label assuming they would be out of business now
Interesting bit of info on their about us page as mentioned previously, thanks mate ;
"Lexington Street London W.1 was acquired for Hobsons around 1880. Gold and Silver wire embroidery was produced here along with the weaving of lace. In the basement, the Leather Accoutrements department produced specialist goods of all descriptions.
By the turn of the century the new Hobsons factory and offices in Tooley St ( between London Bridge and Tower Bridge ) were in operation. Several hundred employees worked at making all garments and accessories required for the Guards uniforms."
Ade, I will get in touch with them today thanks for that link, wish me luck
