According to Esquire UK, the dogs are in coats made at Huntsman, and the farmer is wearing a suit from Anderson & Sheppard.

Huh. You would have thought it would be the other way around.

Good day, started at Huntsmans for the 11:30 presentation and ended at Poole's. Gieves did a double tour (i. archive & history, ii. bespoke); however, because the tour overran missed the start of the Hand & Lock presentation at Dege (presentation was between 2pm - 4pm, I turned up at 2:40), no one else was there and it got boring after 3 mins.

The houses could have organised the prestations timing better, there was too much lapse between start times.

What?!? And with border collies present? Were they Italian border collies?

Lasbar- no offense. Just trying to understand what you were getting at. I find the idea fascinating- would like to hear what you think might have been better in the past.

I didn't try to offend you and I'm sorry if I came across a bit on the heavy side...

I don't know what I was expecting in the first place to be fair...

Savile Row is my favourite place in London and I was expecting some kind of Farming extravagnaza...

I was expecting flowers and jardinieres everywhere and things happening on the pavement..

The idea is great anyway...
