Indeed but they aren't under the Scabal name. A technicality I know but there you go.

There aren't any. But after our president is done rewinding the economy five or six decades, that could change.

Wrong forum.

HFW (Hardy and Minnis) is now owned by Americans, but the mills used will still be English. Coincidentally, the new owner is known as HMS, which might also stand for Her Majesty's Ship but the Queen and ships have nothing to do with this take-over.

I think in this take-over, HMS stands for "Me my lil fren".

wait, I missed this. Are you sure you have the right merchant? Quality wise I have never heard of H. Lesser cloth described as cheap at all.

No; it was a BS claim.
