The London Lounge

The clip was quite interesting. I think this segment provides further evidence that bespoke tailoring is regaining momentum, following a general "flight to quality". However, the part in which the gentleman claimed that 3k GBP will get you a "cracker" from a savile row tailor made me chuckle.....a H...

Cdo,

Dear all, this is my first post on the LL forums; nevertheless, I have been reading your contributions for quite some time and find them of great interest. I recently turned 30, and have decide that the time has come to depart from Italian (Zegna) MTM and commence my journey into the realm of bespok...
