The London Lounge

Hello there,

I saw this week-end a decent suit in Oliver Benjamin shop in London. I quite like the overall shape of the jacket but this is a "half-fused" garment, according to the salesman.
So I was wondering if you had any comments on Oliver Benjamin general quality, and which SR tailor I should go to for the same kind of jacket (pls see picture:narrow lapels, chisel waist, angle pockets)...

Thanks very much

I think that most of the London tailors could make this type of suit.

Some that come to mind are:

1. Dege & Skinner;

2. Huntsman;

3. Richard Anderson;

4. Henry Poole;

5. Davies & Son; and

6. Kilgour.

Of course, to acheive this nipped-in waist you have to have one yourself!

I don't think those lapels look narrow at all, in relation to the shoulders.

To me it looks very like Kilgour's current style.

Except for the lapels (which Kilgour often makes a shade narrower), it is indeed very close to what they're doing now.
