There were indeed some excellent bargains Captain. Plenty of shirts, jackets, suits, coats and accessories at sale prices, plus 'The Shop', you've been there mate .....vintage ivy gratification taken to new levels. All stuff you would be proud to wear at very acceptable prices. I came away with a couple of Brooks short sleeve shirts and 3 Tootal scarves (a bit moddy but when do you see them for 15 quid each).
Lloyd's working on making new stuff in the shirt and jacket line. It goes without saying that he knows his ivy onions and has the right contacts in clothing manufacture, should be exciting.
Wonderful Woof.. Just been having some banter with Lloyd.. He's very happy with the day so All Good for everyone..
Tootals have stayed with me since I were a nipper too.. Still adore them to this day!!
I got there just after 3pm, Lloyd and Chris were perfect hosts. Plenty of great clothes on sale, I settled for a London Fog. I'll def be back!
Nice one HP..and long time no hear fella...
Yeah, they appeared do have a few of the LF's in... have fallen back in love with them...great coat (if it's a coat you got...I'm assuming...)
Hi TC, yes fella, a lovely coat with zip,out lining. Seemed a bit perverse buying a lined raincoat in the weather we were enjoying yesterday! I hope you are well mate .
LLOYD & I WOULD LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE WHO CAME TO THE H&J OPEN DAY YESTERDAY FOR MAKING IT A GREAT SUCCESS.....THANK YOU FOR YOUR CUSTOM......BEST WISHES..CHRIS & LLOYD.......We'll do another one in mid summer in the meantime please check for updates and new finds at Hardy and Johnson.....

^ Chris, can you only purchase via Facebook or do you have a website?
Only the FB site at present, but we always welcome visitors on Thursdays. Just drop us an email to let us know. hardyandjohnson@hotmail.co.uk
Very sorry to miss the event Chris, sounds like a fantastic time was had by all. Always got my eye on the FB store though!

FFS... I don't use FB, but will try an work something out, though maybe too late... unless there is something around a 40S left?
Well what were the chances...I was already planned on popping by yesterday....
Sadly all my moolah splurge went on the 1940s Barnstormer....another one of my Holy Grails ticked off mind and deliriously happy with it...
Some tremendous bits in the sale kids...and if stuff's still around in a month or so, I'll be back and no mistake...
Plenty of other things I'd have snapped up too if I hadn't have been on a mission for the leather...
Thee H & J Emporium.... a little piece of Heaven on Earth...
AS EVER - A delight to catch up with you again Chris.. and Lloyd...
See ya soon no doubt…
Chin Chin
Would love to visit in person - it's like an an Ivy Shangri La. I'd take a big wedge with me, and no mistake. Must email them about something I've got my eye on, actually.......
Emailed them yesterday and am going up in a few weeks time to the shop. Now to decide where to go first, H&J or JS....
I have always been interested in this thread, but I don't use FB. Can I still access the store?
It's an open group so you don't need an FB account (I think!). If you see anything you like you can just email them at an address they give on the page. I presume your dislike of FB only extends to not having an account, rather than to looking at it at all?
I can heartily recommend Hardy and Johnson - a great selection of quality items and Chris and Lloyd are true gents who know their stuff.
It asks me to log on as well.
Ah, perhaps it's a closed group then. Only one answer Ox! And you'll have the added benefit of sharing photos of your dinner with people.
Chris and Lloyd, have you plans to put your stock online anywhere other than Facebook? I must admit I don't find it very convenient as a store.
If you try looking through the items in the photos section and click on anything for a closer look, when you try to return to the list you find yourself back on page one — very annoying if you were on p14.
Hi SB, no plans yet to go anywhere else online anytime soon. We do try to keep everything simple, but what you describe is down to Facebook and out of our control.....We do have plans but our ideas are in another direction at present.
PS. H&J is a public group on Facebook so should be accessible to all.
