Customs charges on bespoke suits
Paying duty on clothing from the UK is a real crap shoot. It sometimes boils down to whether the customs office is in a good mood or not!! A year or two ago there was an article on this subject in, I think, the Financial Times. At the time customs were clamping down on imports due to...- Len

ON THE DEATH OF LOU MYLES - A TRULY FINE GENTLEMAN -
Lou was a gentleman and a great tailor/technician. He and I chewed the fat over various tailoring problems number of times as we sorted out the sartorial problems of the world (or so we thought after a few drinks) He was well respected in our trade, and for good reason.- Len

Anyone interested in joining me in a bulk order of 13" Tailors' Shears (scissors) made in Italy?
Leonard Logsdail here. I bought the cutting shears I currently use with all of my first pay packet back in 1969. They are Wilkinson's and still working well. That said. I've always wanted another pair. So, please add my name to the list for pair of the 13" should a second batch be ordered...- Len

Hilditch & Key shirts - quality?
I have worn and enjoyed Hilditch shirts for around 30 years and do not recall a problem. Roger Talbot, their US rep, was a personal friend, too. It was so simple, and always a pleasure, to visit Roger when he was in NYC and order a few. That said, since he's retired it has become even easier...- Len

Bespoke-"Made in Huddersfield"-Anyone know
Since my Carnaby Street days I have cut the selvedge off every scrap of fabric I give my tailors that they use to make a garment. It was laziness that saw the selvedge left on any garment and, to my eyes, it was an ugly statement. It saved the tailor from turning an edge in before sewing. And...- Len

Russian Leather shoes.....
George Glasgow made mine at Cleverley. I've had them for around 15 years. No special need required. You just have to enjoy them as the patina increases. Logsdail- Len

New York Times Article: Suits in Scorsese's "Wolf of Wall Street"
I made all the clothes for Denzel Washington in American Gangster, but I wasn't in it. I did have a small part in Wall Street 2. In that movie, I clothed Michael Douglas, Shia Lebeouf, Frank Langella, Josh Brolin. No Scabal fabrics in Wolf. At least, not on Dicaprio. He wore Kemp & Hewitt...- Len

New York Times Article: Suits in Scorsese's "Wolf of Wall Street"
I could find anyone else who agreed with you regarding my acting ability!!! The first movie I was in, I had lines. The second, I had lines, but they were cut. And the third movie I was not given lines at all. So I'm not sure where I go from here - except back to my cutting board! And I'm...- Len

New York Times Article: Suits in Scorsese's "Wolf of Wall Street"
Regretfully, I cannot help you much. I looked at my order book and see that the blue stripe suit and the gray flecked suit I made for Tucci came from fabric that Ann Roth, the costumer designer, brought in herself. She did some scouting around old stock in order to find fabric from the...- Len

New York Times Article: Suits in Scorsese's "Wolf of Wall Street"
Style never goes out of fashion, but fashion goes out of style. I've often said this, but found I had to use this with my son the day we prepared for the scene in Wolf of Wall Street. When we arrived, because so many people knew me, we were ushered past all the long lines. One of these lines...- Len

She was, quite pretty. And a knitter. I swear she knitted almost a complete sweater that day. There are many stories appertaining to the movie world that I could tell. Not necessarily about the clothes - but certainly because of them. At some time, I will tell a few of them Logsdail- Len

New York Times Article: Suits in Scorsese's "Wolf of Wall Street"
There's a story behind the fake facial. I realized that I was considered a mini star for this movie because I had lines. Therefore I had my own dressing room and stylist. The stylist suggested the mustache and took me to deniro to have it confirmed for the scene. So here's the hook. It...- Len
