    Rutherfords England - Buyer Beware

    This picks up a line from the "briefcase appreciation thread". Rutherfords are so singularly crap that they deserve a thread of their own. I ordered a briefcase from Rutherfords England in March of 2021. After 14 months of excuses (that they have made to other disappointed customers), they...

    Antique Leather from 1775

    I thought the leather aficionados would appreciate this picture: it's of a book I bought whilst I was in Switzerland this week. It was published in 1775 and is still in its original binding.

    Northampton haul

    Thought I'd post a few pics of recent acquisitions from Northampton. First up, the JL Canasta. More to follow.

    The company formerly known as chester barrie

    After the downfall of Chester Barrie, I understand that the company has been reformed: the name has been bought by a consortium, and the manufacturing wing is a separate company now entitled "The Cheshire Clothing Company". I've heard that the latter came into being after a management...

    Austin reed one-button suits

    I've noticed that many of the gents who frequent this site are partial to one-button suits. Austin Reed are now offering a line of superior suits - they feature horn buttons, functional cuffs, trousers with adjustable bands and buttons for braces - and many of these suits have one-button coats...

    Edward green tongues

    I bought a pair of EG's Ladbroke shoes today in dark oak on an 888 last. They're very nice indeed. There is one thing that is peculiar about them, however: the tongue appears to be (purposely) stitched to the inside of the quarter on the medial aspect of each shoe (only for a section of about 7...

    Edward green 888 last

    I understand that Edward Green has a (relatively) new last which has been designated 888. It appears to be chisel-toed and rather narrow. Has anyone purchased a pair of shoes made on this last? How does the width compare to say a chisel-toed "hand grade" Crockett & Jones last in an...

    What's new on savile row?

    I walked along Savile Row on Monday, so I thought I'd pass on what's happening. There are quite a few one button coats (they're not called jackets on the Row, apparently), though their are still three button ones on display at some of the more "hip" tailors e.g. French, Kilgour &amp...

    Rubber topsoles

    Someone has recommended that I have rubber topsoles put on some of my leather soled shoes in order to make them last longer. Can anyone think of a reason not to have this done?

    Hong kong

    I know that a few of the forum members live in Hong Kong. I've been many times myself, and have had suits made at Sam's Tailors. Now, I can remember having a conversation with the manager at New and Lingwood who reckoned that the suits from Sam's are as good as New and Lingwood bespoke suits...
