This might have come up elsewhere: does anyone know where Rees-Mogg gets his suits?

From the 1920s?

 

[Concordia]

On a bad day. I was thinking a tailor who had been long dead by then.

Hey folks! Sorry I keep posting the same jacket...but...I love it! Here you can see me actively SF blaspheming in English tweed, navy cords and work boots...

This might have come up elsewhere: does anyone know where Rees-Mogg gets his suits? They are clearly drinking from the A&S Kool-Aid, but there are some differences. Also, such sources as there are place his tailors in an independent shop somewhere else.

Possibly he doesn't get them from anywhere. I've always thought that they looked rather like hand-me-downs.

his navy blue DB [which is the only suit I have seen him pictured in] is from Henry Poole

I have a jacket in that identical fabric in a practically de-constructed
Neapolitan cut from Belvest circa 2005. It probably fits me better than
almost anything I own.

Jacob Rees-Mogg's suits are made by Henry Poole.

I don't get the context here. Is this an A&S ex tailor?

Yes.

Really? Is there a source? They look nothing like most other Poole suits.

Jacob Rees-Mogg proves he's not just a 'backbench Bertie Wooster'

The Hon Jacob Rees-Mogg, Conservative MP for North-East Somerset, has gained a reputation for disdain, as well as good humour in the past month. He even enthuses Ali G is 'exceptionally brilliant'.

"In 17 years of knowing Rees-Mogg, 46, I’ve never seen him nettled, let alone cross. He’s one of the most polite, kindest people I’ve ever met. Today he looks as he has done always: pale and lean in a suit from Savile Row tailor Henry Poole, black hair neatly dissected by a chalk-white parting."

 

[Concordia]

Interesting. Not at all what his standard fare looks like.

What a wonderful video!!

He explains more about A&S than A&S itself in all their PR publications.

Thanks for sharing.
