This may not be the right forum ,but anyway, I would like to know your opinions about Paul Smith.

I like bespoke clothing, but if we speak about off the rack clothing, I am really fond of Paul Smith:

I like his clothes, sunglasses, accesories, etc

Here is a short you tube film with an interview wth him.

it could actually be the right forum for this topic, as he does indeed offer a bespoke tailoring service which I believe is operated from Notting Hill showroom (?)

I like some of his stuff, its sort of a contrived British eccentric look, which looks good sometimes.

I wouldnt bother with any of his "proper" suits, you're really paying for the name of course and any skilled bespoke tailor could do the same design and probably better construction at a more reasonable price. Disclaimer - I am talking about non-London tailors now.

THAT SAID.

I like some of his shirts, but unfortunately, they do not fit long enough on me. This is why I enquired about a bespoke PS shirt.

I also think he uses some unusual fabrics in his suits, which I believe he exclusively designs.

That Paul Smith does bespoke was news to me. I tried to look at the link, but there was no information behind it.

His suits doesn`t interest me either.

I like the smaller things, like scarves, socks, etc. Paul Smith also has some nice cufflinks.
