Herb J. sweat question
I noticed that the sweatband logo has Herbert Johnson's old adress...
Is this the case with the Lichtschwerter hats too? The crest has the St. James Street addy...
For how long did the hats come with this sweat? Does it say anything about the manufacturing period of the hat, or did they just use up old sweatband stock?
Curious...

I just recieved a used HJ today(See Scandinavia Jones other HJ thread)
and mine doesn't have the "IJ" embossed letters, but it does have the 2 different addresses on the crest and sweat.
Another thing I was wondering about all this...The hat came with the original sales slip, and it has "Swaine Adeney Brigg" on it.
Is Swaine, the same as Swane???

That's the London shop that sells the Herbies nowadays - Swaine Adeney Brigg.

This is mysterious - my hat is allegedly of same age as yours, and my brim was cut by Richard Swales - did he still cut the hats after Swaine had taken over?

When I called in October 2003 to order my HJ, Kelly Ford mentioned he had retired 2 months prior. So, July, August 2003. Or, I could be crazy, and two months just sounds right.Scandinavia Jones wrote:... sometime into 2003, that is, then.
Thanks!
Yes, you are very lucky to have a Swales-era "IJ" embossed Herbie J. I got my initials put in mine.
Peace,
