Benson & Clegg. Where I bought St. George slaying the dragon.

If I could wind back the clock I would have gotten everything made by Jose Maturano at Sastreria Cheverny. I wrote about him here many years ago, and was actually the first real tailor whose shop I stopped in, but not the first I used. I went to John Kent first when Darren was there, then Mr. Matura...

Hi, sorry my recommendation isn't in Europe, however since Mr. Alden does have a very global readership, here goes: Charles Nakhle. Mr. Nakhle is in a western suburb of Sydney, NSW. I used him for the three years we resided in Sydney, and really couldn't be happier. Can make french cuffs, button cuf...

A Times (NY) article noted he left the WH and has joined a college in DC as a lecturer. Whatever your politics, certainly one heck of a story -

Brilliant writer and journalist. God speed.

That article is absurd. I am reminded of two pioneers and business paradigm-shapers, both notorious for their casual dress, who donned sober suits to testify to Congress about their sectors during times when US law needed to catch up with the changes in business cycles. They both created billions of...

Tabio.

Well-written. Reminds me of the story "Quality" by John Galsworthy.

As Mr. Alden has accomplished building a very international membership to LL, some of the generational and demographic insights into post-war America might be lost on some of the readers. I have always thought of Junod's piece as an ...

Wear a tie. You can always take it off.

Tend to agree, however believe it is dependent on which country one is in. Contraction towards a smaller number of artisans would be of course felt earlier. For business, the hard and fast rule you have to wear a coat-and-tie if you're chasing money, collecting money, or using the courts to settle a...

The last lines of Twelfth Night are appropriate here. Reminds me of an old tailor in Buenos Aires.

Nice imagery in the last paragraph. Subsitute dress with life.

That is very good. Having met the writer in DC, I'd agree with both his and Mr. Alden's central themes.

Now that's just showing off.
