Does anyone know much about James & James Ltd. of London?

In my travels I came across and purchased a coat made by James & James Ltd. of London. It is a bespoke overcoat. I'm trying to research the company but there's not a ton of information out there. TIA.

James & James was a Savile Row firm that was acquired by Davies & Son several years ago. They were the successor firm to Scholte, a storied Savile Row firm that made for the Duke of Windsor. J &J in recent years had gone to making fused bespoke suits, not a good thing.

Tomasso,

Thank you very much. The aforementioned overcoat was made in 1978 for an R. Forgan, Esq. (per the interior pocket label) so I am presuming this was prior to the fused bespoke suits. I appreciate the information very much.
