Hello Trev
Thanks for posting that very interesting advert.
Nice to see printed confirmation that Harman were tailors/outfitters rather than makers of buttons.
I have a few buttons with "Harman & Co Calcutta" backmarks but my favourite is one which has the addition of the Prince of Wales's feathers more normally associated with the firm of Jennens. This might suggest that at least some of their buttons were supplied by Jennens (photo attached).
Also interesting in the context of Rob's button to see that they supplied Diplomatic uniforms as well as military.
