Lew Smith was born in Hanbury Street, Spitalfields, in 1911 and died in Wood Green in 2004. In between heÕd gone to Russia as a young communist in 1931, become London Organiser for the Young Communist League in the late 30s, been a union organiser in his various cabinet making and carpentry jobs, and worked in shipbuilding during the war, as well as being in the ARP and helping to organise the workers making the Mulberry Harbours for the D-Day landings of 1944.

He was chair of Hackney Trades Council for many years, and when he retired to live in Haringey was co-opted as pensionersÕ representative on the council. He marched for many causes, some won, some lost. This is his political story, in his own words.

Comparable to high end mens shops!
Fit Type: Regular Fit, Color: Blue, Size: Large
Beautiful, heavy blue Oxford comparable to upper end mens store at 75% less! Full cut, great for casual wear or sending out for professional starching. Downside, no pocket, but I had mine monogramed wear the pocket would be and it looks like an expensive dress shirt. I bought more (with pockets) in blue & white

Heavier fabric, very durable
Fit Type: Regular Fit, Color: Grey, Size: Large
3 stars. Pretty nice shirt but the fabric is a bit firmer than i like. I iron it when i usually wear it so that it looks half decent since wrinkle resistance is low or poor. I usually have to use a higher setting on the fabric since the material is thick making it alot heavier. Overall great for the lower end cost, anything that beats it would probably be double the price. I work in a cubicle so this works well for me, a simple shirt, with a simple color.

No Shirt Pocket!
Fit Type: Regular Fit, Color: Blue Stripe, Size: X-Large
No Pocket! The material was nice quality, a little thicker than I would have anticipate for a low priced shirt, and very soft. The only disappointment was there was not shirt pocket. I suppose I did not look closely enough at the photos to notice that before I purchased. Otherwise, this is a very comfortable shirt.
