Beautifully made Silk Spun Top. Never Worn Non-smokers Home Kept in a garment bag, located in a walk in closet. Two layers providing comfort, and amazing movement. Size Small Windsmoor was registered as a trademark in 1939 by Lionel Green, who, with his brothers, had been running a wholesale clothing business selling directly to retailers. Windsmoor’s characteristic product was traditional, tailored clothing, using quality woollen textiles produced by long-established British mills, such as Aked’s worsted. The firm grew due to innovative strategies in marketing and product placement. Green pioneered the practice of placing manufacturer’s concession shops within department stores, sponsored a weekly radio show, and hired the well-known newspaper illustrator Robb to work on a high-profile post-war advertising campaign. By the end of the 1940s one could ‘Look your best in Windsmoor’ and see Robb’s coloured fashion plates adorning not only magazines, but also hoardings erected in front of still-gaping London bomb sites. By 1954 the company had such a profile that they were name-checked by Betjeman in his poem ‘Middlesex’, which sketched the suburbanization of the so-called Metroland on the fringes of London.
