[edit] Additional source of information

There is some additional material on the current Mackintosh company at this Google cached version of an article on thefashionspot.com in 2004.

As this is a cache article, it would probably be worth gathering information from it before it disappears. -- Solipsist 18:13, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I think it moved here. It seems to be a copy and paste of a newspaper article, which is similar to this 2002 Scotsman piece. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 13:33, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
Here is an interesting 2007 article, which names Daniel Dunko as a 31-year-old entrepreneur who bought the Cumbernauld company in the 1990s and apparently oversaw its revivial. Maybe worth someone looking to include that in the article. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 13:42, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Error in origins

Judging by Charles Macintosh's entry at the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, we have got it wrong regarding the relationship of Hancock and Mackintosh. See http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/17541 (subscription or library card needed)

Also perhaps useful: http://www.lakelandelements.com/rainwearhistory/notes/mackintosh_heyday.htm (extract from S. Levitt 'Manchester Mackintoshes: A History of the Rubberized Garment Trade in Manchester', published in Textile History in 1986. ) Be nice to get a look at the whole article.
