british suit labels

[esteban68]

Does anyone know of a resource for British suit labels, I know there is loads on here about American stuff and some lovely stuff there is too but what about British labels as these are most likely what us Brits will come across on our purchasing forays!
Thinking of the 'Pure New Wool' labels when did they come in, and then makers labels for lets say Burtons, or Guards etc...I have a special interest in Burtons as his first shop is about 1 mile from my house so getting an early suit would be great as it could have been made locally?

Thanks Barmey thats a good link...surely there must be some more out there? what do FD posters think about posting some photo's of their British suit labels and suit details with dates and creating a resource on here?

I like the link, interestingly a quick check on Ebay shows how inaccurate dating of suits can be!
