Actually, that sneaked in from the Andover Shop.

Fantastastic as the clothes are on the mannnequins, these are real people, the tailors and cutters, in them.

Who are they all? I can see
Carl of A&S, Allen of Huntsman, Grant of Norton, Sexton, Hitchcock of A&S...

Aside from the Court Dress and the many white tie
examples, the rest of the clothing seems very structured:
Savile Row, as defined by Huntsman. Am I missing something?

Sherwood seems like a nice chap whenever I've seen him around too.

I've always thought that Royal Horse Artillery uniform was a thing of beauty.

I don't know what it is, but I want it. I wish it were 2B though (or 1B I suppose, being a Huntsman)

I thought that I would say that before Despos felt he had to.

It is indeed. I requested the same for my first jacket from them.

What do you mean by that? You requested that cloth, or that the sportcoat has a particular cut or features that make it the "Astaire" model?
