The guy was not giving too much information and I do not have the money to be sued by any of the parties involved...

I stay out of it but we can all draw our own conclusions...

Please don't deal with crooks.

Controversial – love it; why a 'crook'? In my mind there is surely only one reason.

Karl Matthews has the balls to make it on his own. I wouldn't worry too much about him.

I don't know the all story and will abstain from commenting.

I was told he just was not getting what he wanted out of his position and that it was frustrating for him. Anderson's trained him has a cutter and a tailor then had him front of house. I know he was a huge ambassador for the company so I am guessing that the only way he could get his creative juices flowing was to do work outside work. Maybe he just out grew the company, who knows? I will miss seeing him there but I guess he has not left the planet.

I did enjoy having a chat with him...

He was interesting....

Colin is a nice man but he is quite serious...

I quite like having a laugh ,it is why I used to enjoy talking to Johnny Allen or Chiara Rubinacci..

Interesting, thanks.

Thanks. It's a really interesting blog in that it has perspectives from both cutters and tailors putting the suits together, and it's told from an apprentice's PoV, so you get to see them try to figure things out. It's a pretty unique take on a tailoring blog.

There's also some amount of technical information about how they do things. I thought this one on drawing armholes was pretty interesting. I guess they are still teaching rock-of-eye to the young ones:

Possible that Finnan cut Manton's sleeves?

It could be mine...

A recent Vanity Fair pictorial listed suit, shirt, tie and pocket square all by A & S. A friend tells me that A & S will add bespoke shirts to their offerings in 2011. Do any SF members who are customers of the firm have anyt further info?
