Cutting Tales from the History of Hawkes, the DRESSED TO KILL M ilitary and Civil Tailors. Estd. 1711. THE GENERAL W HO NEARLY LOST HIS HEAD War was killing off Mr. Hawkes' first customers In 1771. So he invented the shako. In consequence the general and his troops kept their heads. Instead of being slashed to ribbons, they collected ribbons galore. Hawkes was handsomely rewarded .... so many customers returned to settle their accounts. NO HEADACHES FOR THE FIGHTING LORD The customers of Hawkes’ successors were browned off by the Abyssinian campaign. Hawkes produced, out of a hat. a corking idea which worked like magic, against sun. Lord Napier, Commander in Abyssinia, suffered no headaches in his Hawkes' helmet and captured Magdala in 1867. IN THE WARS AGAIN The British have regularly gone Into battle with glory and Hawkes' uniforms. Enough have survived to keep the Arm going .... and on victory parades and ceremonial occasions their splendid Hawkes’ uniforms have always lent colour to the occasion. A PEACEFUL ENDING As well as uniforms, Hawkes now cut city suits and country-wear for more peaceful pursuits .... and match Jet-age speed with immedlate-wear service. But there still remains the same military precision of cutting, the same traditional pride in a first-class Job, and the same air of style. As history has proved, Hawkes can always rise to the occasion in suitable style. Send for an illustrated catalogue and subscription account booklet HAWKES OF SAVILE ROW I SAVILE ROW. LONDON, W.l.
