It was like...
It was growing at such a fast rate, we didn't quite realize how big it was.
It was enormous.
And it was quite funny with trousers because we've developed these fit and flare trousers and we couldn't get enough production.
So again, when the board would go around to different manufacturers, anyone that had Hoffman Press suddenly became a trouser manufacturer overnight.
We were pulling in production from everywhere.
Oh, a Hoffman press, right.
It's two pads and you just clamp it down and it steams and presses.
So you put a trouser leg under it and you get the crease.
But you use it for other things as well.
You don't only use it for trousers.
You can use it for...
But it's all been modernised now.
I shouldn't think any industry uses the Hoffman Press today.
I started my own manufacturing business called J&J Fashions.
Supply, who else but Marks & Spencer.
I left on very good terms.
In fact, they gave me a golden handshake, which was very nice.
In fact, I actually left on the Christmas of 73, and we opened our doors to our factory January 74, which you're far too young to remember, but that was the days of Edward Heath and Harold Wilson, and we had a three-day week.
It was a terrible time to start a business.
