St Michael News April 1981

This article was published in St Michael News, April 1981. During the 1980s, M&S worked with technology company Instrumental Colour Systems (ICS). Together they developed a computer program that could measure and record the precise colour tolerances of a fabric sample. This made it possible to sell men’s suits as separate jackets and trousers – offering different fits – while having exact colour matching.
