Of all the questions that I have been asked, this is one of the most strange. Why was it asked? A reader of my blog was having his first bespoke suit made and requested a double-breasted waistcoat. The tailor suggested a single-breasted waistcoat instead. The reason? “…they said it was old-fashioned and not very flattering.”
Sighing [...]
Here are some alternatives to the standard suit blouse. A cool fashion top like these, makes a nice break-off for a suit, giving it a different look and personality. While the business suit may be a standard thing in the corporate world, you could take some lisence with your top, and create a different personality for the suit by spicing it up with a designer top with an interesting cut. Wear one of these tops with a pair of suit pants, or nice slacks. (But not with jeans - that would be too casual for a work outfit.) 
We have seen many characters come and go from this well loved soap, but the east-end gent has always been a big part of what EastEnders is all about. What one thing do these chaps love more than anything else? Well a well fitting sharp suit of course!And it is not just the good [...]
For over 20 years now, Robert Downey Jnr. has been appearing on our screens. Since the days of Weird Science, we have seen him in an astonishing array of roles, from comedy, action and even thrillers. The man has it all in the bag when it comes to acting. Little wonder that he is also a very snappy dresser and a lover of the tailored suit. Over the years RDJ has literally sported thousands of amazing tailored outfits. Most of which stem from the movie set, whether it be Sherlock Holmes [...]<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ASuitThatFits/~4/-MeMtyZq1LU" height="1" width="1"/

The subject of funerals may not exactly be the most uplifting diversion on a wet afternoon but a recent conversation with an acquaintance, regarding a funeral I attended, was so pertinent to matters of sartorial etiquette that I simply had to pen my thoughts and share them with readers. For it was when my partner [...]

The world is full of belts. Don't underestimate them as an accessory. To have only one belt as THE belt that you wear with every single work outfit, is not a good idea. And to have one black belt for cool toned outfits, and one brown belt for warm toned outfits - well, that's what men do. 
nbsp; nbsp; nbsp;<p As we mark the 200th anniversary of the birth of the greatest British writer of all times, Charles Dickens, it surprises me that the man on the back of the £10 note was only 58 when he died of a stroke at his home. 
Being a lover of style as well as quotations it is only natural to have a list of favorite style quotations:
(In no particular order)
1. ”A well-tied tie is the first serious step in life.”
- Oscar Wilde
2. “Being perfectly well-dressed gives one a tranquility that no religion can bestow.”
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
3. “The difference between a [...]Being the mother of the bride there is not only the inevitable chaos of helping to organise the big day but also the question of what to wear. Looking elegance and sophisticated are at the forefront of any outfit choice with colour and style being a mind field of decisions. Gone are the days when Brides only wear white and so to it seems are the restrictions of the kind of suits that ridegrooms can on for their big day. With the advent of many alternative wedding styles it is quite exciting to be in the tudio at the moment and see what interesting ideas walk through my door. An ever-present question when I tell people what I do, is what is it that makes me love menswear and tailoring in particular? I must admit that I do love being asked this, purely because it lets me rant on about a subject that is very close to my heart. The beginning of my reply always starts with the statement that I love tailoring for its subtlety and attention to detail.
