I'm dusting off my Terry Eagleton and John Reed books as we speak. I wonder if they only let WL in early in the morning "to keep his hand in."

In the evidence it was said he couldn't sew. So what kind of machinist is he?

Well..he's definately a pattern cutter with vast knowledge of the jacket making business thus should be well qualified to set up new production from scratch.
Do inmates stitch mailbags in UK prisons?
He could kind of use the time to 'invest in himself', then he'd have the whole skill set.
That raises the question; Which highly experienced jacket professional was hired by Alexander's to put out almost a full suite of jacket designs that appear similar to Aero products without decades of development experience if not WL?Well..he's definately a pattern cutter with vast knowledge of the jacket making business thus should be well qualified to set up new production from scratch.
Consider this:
1. WL was the Managing Director of Aero for several years. Thus, he has extensive experience managing the operations of a custom leather jacket manufacturing company.
2. WL brought several Aero employees with him to AL. These were the same employees that WL managed at Aero.
3. According to the previously quoted statements, WL helped to create AL.
Yet, according to AL's latest statement, "William Lauder . . . was never employed in any management capacity" at AL.
Really? Does this make sense? He was the managing director at a larger and far more established company (Aero) in the exact same business, AND he brought several of the employees to AL that he previously managed, AND he helped to create AL; yet, he was "never employed in any management capacity" at AL?
Euphemistically speaking, this strains credulity.
have also had contact from our customers informing us that Aero Leathers had sent direct emails to them in regard to the trial outcome and either explicitly or by implication stating that Alexander Leathers was somehow involved in the alleged criminality.

I'm a previous customer of AL and I haven't received an email from Aero......how would they even get the email address of another company's customer?
I came upon that statement yesterday when I was looking at their site. It seems like a perfectly normal legal statement to me. Clearly they are prepared to defend themselves in court if it comes to that.
I should think they have been following this thread too judging by what they wrote about “public forums or dimly lit public slanging match with those vindictive parties...”
Anyway this is where I came in and the trial account has been interesting. Although it was probably what most people thought had happened really, and I don’t think there were any great surprises in it. But I still want AL to survive even if some here would like to dance on its grave. In the US there are a few custom jacket makers in competition now, but in the UK it’s just Aero and AL and i don’t want a monopoly situation where prices are ratcheted up.
Notice here that Will is described as AL's production manager

Funny you should say that, but a couple months ago i had a telephone conversation with Steve Toohey, my brand new Cafe Racer was having issues that needed sorting...As i said he was very nice and a real gentleman when it came to making things right, but he did pretty much blame the issues on his "previous production manager, will" who was not working for them anymore!
