    What happened to Kilgour?

    When Kilgour introduced a ready to wear range it was fantastic , it was designed by a guy named Carlo Brandelli . The original makers of the suits were a Hong Kong based tailors named William W Yu . Then they moved their production to D'avenza which were equally as nice . I believe they were...

    Tom Ford milanese lapel button holes

    If you look at both Tom Ford and Dunhill's Milanese lapel button holes, both of which are made by Zegna they look to consistent to all be hand sewn . I have always been under the impression that a Milanese button hole had to be hand sewn . If you look at tailoring houses that have a Milanese...

    You can pick one brand for the rest of your life for suits, shirts, ties, and shoes. Money is no object. Who do you pick?

    Suits: Steven Hitchcock Shirts: Fray Ties: Turnbull & Asser Shoes : Gaziano bespoke Sneakers : Santoni Knitwear : Loro Piana Coats : Loro piana Winter outerwear : Arc'teryx But I thought the idea was to pick one brand for everything ? If that was the case then I guess everybody would...

    I’m Doubting Alden’s Future

    You can't compare Edward Green to Alden . Yes Edward Green are expensive , but they don't cut corners they make a great product which I agree is overpriced . Alden on the other hand cut corners , this in my opinion makes them a far worst value proposition than Edward Green . The videos on...

    Tom Ford-esque suit

    I know that not everything that states that it is made in Italy is actually made in Italy . A lot brands state that their made in Italy when in reality the majority of the production is done in China or India . Some of the less expensive made in Northampton shoe brands are now only finished in...

    Tom Ford-esque suit

    As everybody on here seems to already know Tom Ford suits are made by Zegna . I did read on another thread on here that Zegna sub the work out to another factory . I can't remember if within that thread the details of the other factory were stated . Perhaps somebody reading this thread would know .

    Turnbull & Asser tie price increase of 37%

    Yes but it's the same for their competitors like Budd , Hilditch & Key , New & Lingwood and Ede & Ravenscroft and none of them have increased their prices by a whopping 37%. If you look at the Northampton shoe companies like Edward Green and Crockett & Jones they have increased there prices by...

    Turnbull & Asser tie price increase of 37%

    The price increase is ridiculous. I am sure if asked the would make up some nonsense about supply chain issues BLAH BLAH . Maybe it's because they've taken back the shop next door which was formerly leased by Crockett & Jones and they want to raise funds for the re fit . I for one wont be...

    Turnbull & Asser tie price increase of 37%

    This week Turnbull & Asser increased the price of their ties from £135 to £185 . That's a price increase of some 37% . The James Bond range from £165 to £225 . I really don't understand how brands can raise prices like this about a year ago Church shoes raised their prices overnight by 40% and...

    UK - Tony Lutwyche Academy

    The company defiantly went bankrupt . I know this because I bought the majority of the bankrupt stock of suits and jackets . There was around 900 suits and I got around 650 of them all of which were listed on Ebay . I am down to around the last 40 or so suits . If anybody on here wants one of...

    Shoe polisher in London

    Crockett & Jones , Edward Green , Carmina and just about anybody else who makes Cordovan leather shoes with the exception of Alden leave the leather with a natural finish . Alden however puts an acrylic coating on them . I believe it's similar to the Angelus acrylic coating . This coating...
