Two-tone success for Ace Face and John Foster

摘要

The West Yorkshire fabric company John Foster is receiving a growing number of orders from the increasingly high-profile London-based Ace Face Clothing Company, which specialises in 1960's-style Mod suits. John Foster provides Ace Face with a range of mohair two-tone cloths, using the iridescent colours that were the hallmark of the original 1960's Mod suits. After being formed in 2007, Ace Face has enjoyed rapid success, and is now supplying two-tone suits to several bands in the retro music scene, including Madness and the reformed Specials. For Stuart Murray, Ace Face managing director, the choice of mill was an easy one: "We like to make sure we use the original, authentic two-tone mohair cloth. John Foster provides us with a 3-ply 70% wool/30% kid mohair quality, and also a more lightweight interpretation in a Super 120's Trevera wool blend with kid mohair. We use John Foster as they really are the experts in mohair - if anyone can get it right, they can."
