One of our long standing suppliers is A.W. Hainsworth & Sons, in Yorkshire. Founded in 1783, the company won the contract for the British Army in 1813 which they still hold and as I never tire of saying, there are still three people called Hainsworth on the board. The scarlet of the Queen's Royal Guards is supplied by Hainsworths - http://www.hainsworth.co.uk/hainsworth-since-1783/gems/royal-guards/ - and we are making poppies from the same fabric - a fancy one for the ladies and a simpler version for the gentlemen (but don't let us pigeon hole you, wear whichever you like!). A black leather button is used as the centre, or one from my grandma's button box. Each are as they come for we are making them by hand. We are selling them for £5 and 100% of that goes to the Royal British Legion whose HQ is not far from us in Borough. Please drop me an email if you would like one: lady@earlofbedlam.co.uk
