Is John G Hardy and J&J Minnis the same?

[bond_and_beyond]

Please forgive the ignorance behind this question:

I recently ordered some cloth samples from Huddersfield for what I thought was their J6J Minnis Luxury English Flannel. I received the samples today and the pattern nos all align up with what I find on their website (http://www.hfwltd.com/bobb.php?b=jjm&c=7&p=1) however all the samples have "Flannel by John G Hardy" printed on them. Could anyone of you gentlemen please enlighten this ignorant soul as to what I am missing?

Thanks,
S

It's Hardy to tell them apart....the difference is Minnis-cule.....don't worry, they are the same!

Thanks Rowly. I did also call Huddersfield and they confirmed that they trade the cloth under both names.

So then I have fought off a little ignorance on my part today too.

I have narrowed my choice to two charchoal flannels (no 0302 and 0318 respectively) to be used for a three-piece business suit. The 0302 is 400 grams and the 0318 is 475 grams, may the 475 grams be a bit too warm for a three-piece in a heated office?

Thanks,

I have been deliberating over 0302, myself...and find it difficult to decide. I like a grey to have a warm cosy autumnal tone..and fear this one might make up to be more of a cool bluish grey. I'm hoping to see one made up before I regret another impulse decision. As it's a popular grey, I'm sure I won't have to wait too long. Either way, I think it's a safe bet. Good luck with it!
