The London Lounge

Thanks Cary Grant. I will definitely go in when I am next in London soon. The A Cleverey range certainly looks beautifully made.

I have had experience at Lanvin Sur Mesure (Bespoke) a couple of years ago - had made two suits and a vicuna coat. The cutter was previously at Cerruti Paris Bespoke (whom no longer offers bespoke after its head cutter (Luigi) died a few years ago). They were beautifully made, with lovely done hands...

Very nice indeed. It will definitely look even better after you polished with the brown cream. It looks a bit too red.

I am thinking to get a pair of bow tassels (De Rede) from their new Anthony Cleverley range. Has anyone try this range?

The experience I had with Richard was good. It 's bascially the classic Hunstman look with one button front. However, I would prefer higher notch and he likes a more roomy fit that I normally prefer. I also agree that his 'natural' shoulders mean no roping rather than Neapolitan shoulders. However, ...

Bespoke Smalto shirt starts at EUR 600 and the quality and style is very similar to Charvet. Arnys at EUR 550 each has hand stichings around the sleaves, just ike Rubinnacci.

I am tempted try Rubinacci for suits and shirts and would certainly interested to know more from those who have tried it.

Back to the subject of Camps de Luca and Cifonelli, the former has a more formal Parisan style while the latter has a more Italian look to it. In the latest issue of Monsieur magazine, there is an article on Cifonelli and Djay on making Prince of Wales check suits. By the way, has anyone tried Djay?
