Burma Campaign
I went looking for a jacket the other day and decided to see if the "Savoy Tailors Guild" would be open. On searching around the internet for a local branch I came across
this article. Its quite enlightening. As a quicker reference the article suggests that the following companies will not disclose if they are sourcing any of their materials from Burma. There are a good few household names in this list.
Harrods, Bay Trading, By Design Plc, Benetton, Ciro Citteri, Elle, Etam, French Connection, Intersport, Karen Millen, Liberty, Mothercare, TCS, Animal, Naf Naf, Jo Bloggs, Jeffrey Rogers, Pied a terre, Savoy Tailors Guild, Shellys, Calvin Klein, La Coste, Young Fashion, Great Universal Stores(GUS), Argos Ltd, Claire's Accessories, MK One, Shoe Box, First Sport, Lillywhites, Hawkshead, Urban Outfitters, Mambo, Mexx, Paul Smith, Reiss, Hobbs, Jane Norman, Miss Sixty, Boxfresh, and LK Bennett.
Why?
I was under the impression that the Burma campaign was all about fighting the bloody Japs or someone many years ago. So it would be well before your time (Get some in).
