Supermac's tailoring bill
Great letter in The Times (London) this weekend about former prime minister Harold 'Supermac' Macmillan (1957-63). Apparently, while a student at Oxford a college porter told Macmillan “that his tailor had arrived to collect a much overdue amount for a suit.” “Tell him that payment is not...- Jay Dowle

Cutting off Branson
I notice that Richard Branson (forced to wear a tie for Wimbledon) said today: "I loathe ties, and encourage everyone to say bye to them at every opportunity. I often carry scissors, just in case an opportunity arises to cut off somebody’s tie.” I feel exactly the same way about beards, but...- Jay Dowle

Jermyn Street tour – a Friday afternoon well-spent
I’ve had my hair cut at Trumpers in Jermyn Street for years and frequently browse or buy – usually the former – at the shops there, visit St James’ Church and the adjacent market and coffee shop. It’s probably my favorite London street and I thought I knew a lot about it until Friday when a...- Jay Dowle

Slobbery as snobbery - really recommended reading
Please can I recommend this article by Theodore Dalrymple on the Takimag site as excellent, thought-provoking reading. It begins: 'Walking through Amsterdam recently, a paradox that I had long noticed in an inchoate way formulated itself clearly in my mind. It was this: A century ago, there...- Jay Dowle

What can I buy (to wear back home) in Marrakech?
I'm travelling to Marrakech for a week's break at the end of the month. Last time I was there (1972) I bought dippy-hippie embroidered shirts, studded belts and keffiyeh.... I'm way too old (and wise) for that now. What could I buy, or have made, to usefully complement a fairly conservative...- Jay Dowle

Doing up tie: Collar up or down
This is my first post so forgive me if this has been covered. (I can't find an answer anywhere). Watching Kevin Spacey as Frank Underwood in House of Cards last night I noticed how he puts his shirt collar up, does up the top button, knots his tie and tightens it, before folding the collar down...- Jay Dowle
