I've just bought Mr Storey's book as well as The Suit - there could be few higher recommendations, in my opinion, than finding that the authors are contributors to this forum. I very much enjoyed The Suit (though I've never read The Prince, the book was very well structured to my mind, so if that co...

I realise that this post may seem me frogmarched to the exit, but I was wondering if anyone could suggest a way that I could achieve what I'm searching for. I am an ardent supporter of the Wales rugby team, but I find that my patience is ebbing away where the official replica rugby shirts are concer...

I can't pinpoint an exact moment, but Daniel Craig cuts quite a dash as 007 in most of Casino Royale, as I recall. It's a return to form for Bond - the description Fleming gave of Bond's clothes in one of the books (quoted here at some point, though I can't recall where) is almost a little primer fo...

Very interesting articles - I enjoyed the whole thing, in fact. I'd not bought a copy of Esquire before now, but I suspect it may supplant GQ as my magazine of choice based on this showing. Be warned that LOTS of interesting new ways of separating you from your money are mooted in the 'Bespoke' arti...

This question arose from a night out I had recently, where one of my (female) friends pointed someone out and said that he was dressed 'too old for his age'. I was intrigued, and asked what she meant - it seems that, in her mind, there are some clothes which appear to 'age' people. I asked if I dres...

I've been using a black overcoat (the style Roetzel refers to as the 'Crombie', though it's not made by that brand) for a few years now, and it's been a good and faithful servant (though it needs replacing by now). I think it's a useful style - I tend to use it for smart casual nights out as well as...

There is a branch of G&H in Chester. When I have the means (and I hope it won't be too long) and am looking to move up a notch from the £300-£400 RTW bracket that I currently inhabit where my suits are concerned, am I going to be getting a good suit from here? I have noticed some sneers from the LL ...

As I mentioned by way of introduction, I find myself working in the law courts on a day-to-day basis. The Bar has a fairly strict dress code where the criminal courts are concerned; essentially, as I understand it, you don't show your shirt to the judge. Thus, a three-piece (my preference) or a DB i...

Evening all, I thought my first post should be an introduction. I've very much enjoyed reading the members' thoughts on a variety of subjects since stumbling onto the site via Thomas Mahon's blog (which I also found very interesting; thanks, Thomas). Elegant dressing has become something of a passio...
