The best I've had is probably Tanqueray. If you're on a budget and must go for American gins, Fleischmann's and Seagram's are the two primary choices. Unfortunately, they're only about 80 proof each. When you compare them with something like Plymouth Navy Strength (57% alc., I think), the difference...

Matt, the safarianna looks great!

Good suggestions so far. For starters, Crockett & Jones (benchgrade line) are a nice buy. www.pediwear.co.uk has great pricing.

14 x 14 is a nice size for pocket squares, although hard to find in RTW offerings. I've heard some say 7 x 7 which doesn't seem right.
