We are hoping to start a series of blogs on the history of Jonathan Trumbull & Hatters and this is the first in that vein.  The owners and brothers Roger and David Kingsley have kept an archive of newspaper cuttings and advertisements since the first shop opened in March 1971 which we will be posting here over the coming months.  Below is an article from the Eastern Daily Press in 1971 announcing the arrival of designer clothing in Norwich.  The address of the original shop was 1A St Stephens Street, which is now a...

Replay Laserblast Jeans

Replay Laserblast Technology Jeans The new Laserblast technology from Replay Jeans is a method of production eradicating the need to water, stones or sand to achieve the wash on jeans.  Instead, the wash is ‘burnt’ onto the jeans using a laser, so a pair of raw denim jeans are turned into the final product in a matter of minutes, saving energy too.  Using this technology as opposed to the traditional water to achieve its various “washes” saves energy and reduces water consumption by around 85 per cent.  So if you want...

Blood Brother

We have been carrying the Blood Brother for a couple of seasons now and they continue to come up with the kind of edgy designs that are so on trend right now.  The new selection now online at Jonathan Trumbull & Hatters displays the progressive collection of cotton t-shirts and in all their original glory.  Blood Brother work closely with young film makers, artists, musicians and photographers to showcase their talent across their range.

Victorinox

More known for those famous red multi-purpose penknives than fashion Victorinox are a true heritage brand from Switzerland.  True to the Victorinox tradition of style and function, the fusion of form and utility inspires the collections, working directly with fabric development companies to ensure the the use of the latest and most advanced materials.  We love the fresh look the Spring Summer 2012 collection has and think we might be seeing a lot more of this label in the future at Jonathan Trumbull & Hatters.
