Hi everyone - I recently moved to London and it's clear that the level of dress is a step-up from America. I also wanted to treat myself to a little Christmas present, and so I will be getting my first bespoke suit from Savile Row. Not aiming for anything crazy, but something classic, functional, and usable for business-wear several times a month.
I wanted to ask a few super basic questions just in terms of how the house cut from the big tailoring houses differ - e.g., A&S, Henry Poole, Huntsman, etc. I understand that there's a spectrum between the softer A&S drape-cut and the more military-uniform like others, but what does that mean tactically? Can anyone describe in detail the actual differences? And where might you all who have gone through the process suggest I start? Finally, any strong opinions on places to avoid?
I appreciate that this topic must have been covered ad nauseum before, but unfortunately I'm finding the search function limited here (or perhaps I don't know how to use it). Thanks very much for any input you can provide, and happy holidays!
