This forum has been most helpful, so I go to the proverbial well once again for sartorial advice. I have been assigned to head up a project in London during June and July, with a couple overnight trips to Brussels and Cambridge. I will be in country 45-60 days. I cannot bring my whole...

Hello dear AAAC members I've recently started looking for a vintage/second hand Burberry trench in London, although thus far without luck. Where would you suggest I try? Is the Old Hat worth a visit (because it's quite far out)? Thanks in advance

After 4 years in New York I will be back in England to see old and new clients from the 4th-7th of March. I will be seeing clients at the Scabal showroom at 12 Savile Row. I can be contacted me via email to book an appointment. [email protected] I anticipate doing trips like this...

I would like to have a tweed jacket made, something classic that will go on for years and, if possible, get even better with age. Can anybody recommend a tailor based in London or a shop offering a bespoke service? Many thanks.

Hi friends, I hope everyone is well. My Father is traveling to London, UK this week. He will most likely stay in the Marble Arch area. He has traveled to London before, but it has been many years. He is looking to buy a couple of things, and I was hoping to get a few recommendations on...

i had my black-tie trousers made without being cut for braces/suspenders (or a belt). they originally sat on my waist very well, but now not quite that much as i've lost a little weight. is it possible to have them fitted for braces now? are there any recommended tailors to go to in london...

I'm going to be be doing a 10 day trip to the UK in a little over a month from now. I'll have 3 days in London, 2 days in Bath, and 5 days in Edinburgh - most of which will be taken up with sightseeing and other "holiday" activities. I would like to draw on the collective wisdom of the...

Hello, all. As a comparative newcomer to both AskAndy and the world of bespoke/tailored/MTM, etc., I'm hoping that I can glean some sage advice about London. I'm scheduled to arrive there next week and stay for about 12 days. Now, my assumption is that I have to confine myself to off-the-peg...

carreducker return to New York to teach the traditional art of English handsewn shoemaking to enthusiastic students in May. The course is for an intensive two weeks of shoemaking, six days a week from 9.30am - 5.30pm. Demand for the course is growing and the current waiting list means that...

Readers of this forum may be interested to learn of the forthcoming (10th April) 'Tweed Run', an attempt to raise funds for a charitable purpose and described by its organisers as 'a leisurely jaunt through the Empire's capital, taking in some of our finest landmarks, and stopping off for a...

Hello, As a fortieth birthday present to myself I'm going to get a new dinner suit made. My old one is nearly 20 years old and made of polyester. My budget is up to around GBP 1000. From recommendations in these forums and elsewhere my current shortlist is: Ede and Ravenscroft (MTM) Jasper...

Does anyone know of Paraboot stockists in and around London? The Savile Row shop has closed (wrong location, should have been Bond St. or Regent St. to be successful). In my view Paraboots are in general very well designed and constructed, and would like another pair or two. Ian

By accident, I found this wonderful site from the UK and promptly ordered the "Royal Regiment of Scotland" silk bow tie. https://www.smartturnout.com/products/bow-ties-and-cummerbunds/bow-ties/military-bow-ties/military-silk-bow-ties-royal-regiment-of-scotland.html

I did a search and the only thread with recommendations was a few years old. As I understand it Jeeves or Lilliman & Cox are brilliant but expensive. Does anyone know if this still holds and how expensive they are (for a standard 2 piece suit)? Another one I've seen mentioned is Blossom and...

I'm having a suit made with one of the pairs of trousers cut for braces, so my next purchase is to get some. Having a flick around online, it's clear that Alfred Thurston's are the way to go. However I've also heard that there are cheaper places to get them than directly, with TM Lewin and...

Hi, Just wandering if anyone out there knows anything about these suits in terms of quality of construction (i know they will be fused - i am looking for a budget suit), fit and general Value for Money? I am aware of a shop in Redditch that has them on offer in the sale (£150 down from £275)...

hi. i'm not sure what to do and some advice would be greatly appreciated. i've got alcohol of some sort spilt on the sleeve of my dinner jacket two nights ago--i'm not sure which (it wasn't my drink), but it hasn't left a stain as far as i can tell, and it doesn't really smell now. and last...

I am going to be in London in a few days and of course I plan to do some shopping in Jermin street. I would like to buy shirts and I see big differences in price between the most and the least expensive brands. I can assume that Turnbull & Asser shirts are probably the best ones, but what about...

I've been lucky enough to get tickets to Magdalen College Commemoration Ball this year, which has a white tie dress code. The ball committee have arranged a discount with Moss Bros in Oxford, but I want to make sure I get one that fits properly (ie. trousers high enough and tailcoat and...
