Matthew,

Welcome! (And a good start in the blog!)

Are you still working at Ede & Ravenscroft?

Yours,

Many thanks for the best wishes.

To answer your question regarding Ede and Ravenscroft. Yes, I have now left them. I had an enjoyable 4 years working with them. They were a great company to work for, and I'm now venturing out on my own.

I believe this is now required reading for new members who are tailors. Look forward to your posts and blog updates!

Half way through this clip, James Sherwood chats to the eponymous Matthew Farnes:

That's the second time I've seen that presenter doing a show about Savile Row this week. Both times his suits have looked absolutely terrible.

^James Sherwood looks terrible? I am not sure who you can blame for that. From a recent issue of the Rake, he seems to be a bespoke-firm butterfly.

Probably because he has fantastic hair; even his jacket wants to rise up and touch it.
