A reliable source suggested to me recently that nowadays PC has moved away from bespoke suits to a MTM/MTM variant from Turnbull & Asser.
I'm not trying to denigrate PC (in fact I'm a great admirer of his 'dress sense') but I wondered if anyone knew of anything to either support or deny the suggestion??

About a year ago, several people noticed that A&S no longer held the PoW's warrant. Rumor was that he had switched to Gieves. I did see him in at least one suit that looked like Gieves to me. But mostly he appears to be wearing his old A&S rig. Maybe he has so many he simply does not need any more.
But I know nothing definitive, apart from the fact that A&S lost the warrant.

It would be interesting to learn what his sons do. William seems to have some well tailored suits of both single and double breasted styles which suit him well. Harry in a suit seems altogether rarer although his Sandhurst training may smarten him up.
Does anyone know if they have made their own way alomng Saville Row or what they do?
