Thomas Mason custom shirting - how to buy?

[JDelage]

All,

I am looking for some PoW shirting, and the only ones I can find (other than in voile) is made by Thomas Mason. Unfortunately, their stuff seems not to be distributed in France, or very confidentially. The shirt maker I use cannot find a way to get in touch with them. Does anyone here know of a way to either buy fabric directly, or get Thomas Mason to send swatches and the like to a shirt maker (in France)?

Thank you,

JD

Ah, this is perfect. I had not found this website for them. There's an English language page that comes up on Google that has very little information, but this is much richer.

Thanks,

Joss

The reason for the obscurity may be that the Mason business is now subsumed in a new overall owner, which seems to be keeping the branding alive but the main advertising is done through the holding company's name. This seems to be a common practice but seems short-sighted to me as the old customers may not be able to find the new outlets. Mind you, at least these boys haven't just bought Thomas Mason up to rub it out of the competition, as, e.g. Suchard have done with the wonderful old Callard & Bowser toffee company , whose toffee had been known to be so compulsively chewable that, sometimes, it even loosened teeth .
