I had a blazer from John Davis last year. I'd recommend his workmanship highly. This year I'll be commisioning him for a 2PC suit, when I get round to it I'll post some photos.

Also, thinking about the quote from manton's book, that trapezoids aren't flattering--surely the particular application matters. Don't we see the keystone shape on many DB waistcoat styles? And there are/were some DB military tunics that ended at the waist which had a keystone button pattern.. I th...

I enjoyed that interview, and look forward to receiving the book from Amazon.

I think both watches are very beautiful, they show you have impeccable taste.

I'm wondering if it would be possible for the tailor shorten the sleeves, from the sleeve heads rather than the cuffs.

In addition to Lewin, you might want to also check Hilditch and Key and Coles Shirts, especially during their sales. I have my shirts made at Coles and am very pleased with the results.

Don't worry Herbert, the photo's are beautifull.
Thank you for sharing them with us Peter

Excellent review Manton, I'm looking forward to reading both, your book and Mr Kelly's book. BTW are there any plans for a book launch event in London for "The Suit?"

I shall definitely be ordering a copy.
