I haven't seen this book, but it might be worth checking out. Apparently, there are two long chaptes on men's clothes, Savile Row, the West End, etc.: http://www.amazon.com/exec....0332652 Found out about it here: http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/prem/200503/schwarz

"Fashion writers often make too much of the influence of the time-honored in London style, but nonetheless, an Anderson and Sheppard suit, a Hawes and Curtis shirt, and John Lobb brogues exemplify a kind of urban sophistication"”though they're rooted in an aristocratic heritage, and therefore in rural pursuits."

Surely brogues are a bit out of place on such an outfit? And Hawes and Curtis now sells third-world made mass market shirts. And A&S? Wasn't there some issue with their tailor? Or was it their cutter?

Book looks great, just having my fun.
