AN APOLOGY.
If I feel the necessity of apologising for those bright check sports Jackets which we introduced into Hong Kong this season, it is because one or two of them were distinctly bright.
(We described them as snappy to our Customers).
We sold one to a young American, and I understand that . it has given his particular state an uplifting impulse.-the Customer's return to Earth is expected at any moment. We sold another bright one to a local lad,--nice lad, but he assures us that life for him has grown more complex. We believe it. Life is made that way, but after all what is a theme of beauty between friends.
From other Customers I have received appreciative remarks, besides appeals from Mothers, Wives, and so-on.
But they were good jackets: since that merry day when they were first seen in Britain, it has roused itself from lethargy and "got a move on." Scottish weavers did their best, and the result was that everyone was happier than they had been for years. And value, the best I have met with, in long months.
Assuredly a good jacket at a good price, and I can suggest nothing better for a jacket required for leisure moments.
But was apologising. It's hard.
