A short visit to Hornets ...


Me and my wife, during a short stay in London, went of course to Hornets.

Very well received by a gentleman who during our conversation kept revealing incredible Sartorial “tweedy”pieces …
To compare, we went to the second shop around the corner … there we met Orlando, the friend of Bill … It is always fantastic to keep on chatting about the Sartorial Walhalla of Hornet’s collections with Orlando, in our native language : Portuguese …
Later, during a meeting in Portobello Road we heard that Bill has been submitted to a chirurgical operation … We whish Bill all the best recovery and good Health .
I show here two examples of the things we found :
The first is a mix of Riding-Game Keeper - Covert Coat(3/4 length ) in very thick twill-tweed, with Tattersall’s lining and game pocket and water proof under lining … (like a wax coat )
The second is a made to measure riding-hacking jacket that fits my wife like a glove …
Jeeves.
