The Roadster and Halfbelt have been inspired or pirated from the Aero Highwayman and 50's Halfbelt. I'm not sure about the other designs. The Detroit, Cafe Racer are somewhat different from the Bootlegger and Aero Cafe Racer. Then there are designs that Aero doesn't make like the Peacoat (which looks like Lost Worlds), the GT jackets that I think its a standardized design too from somewhere else and the leather blazer.
I think that we should hear what both parties have so say. While it's hard to believe Will is only machinist at Alexander, the statement they are making seems reasonable to me.
The lawyer didn't challenge Ken when he said that two-thirds of AL's patterns were Aero copies. [huh]
Also, there is a video and report comparing an AL jacket on Highwayman pattern and it's pretty damning.

Interesting financial information re: Alexander Leather Company ("AL") / Simmons Bilt Clothing Company ("SBC"): http://companycheck.co.uk/company/S...ING-COMPANY-LTD/financial-accounts#financials
Its all a matter of public record. The following is AL's "abbreviated accounts for the period ended 30 November 2013":
Oooh! Oooh! Can I change my username to The Seal Brown Knight ? :eusa_clap
Thanks @superfluous. All looks pretty unremarkable, debt doesn't seem to be anything too alarming for a new company which had to invest in equipment, facilities and needed working capital. Too bad there wasn't a P/L.
$9,000 in cash seems pretty tight.
Have you read the trial narrative thread, Loco?
