Prince Michael's tailor

[Manself]

Does anyone know which tailor Prince Michael uses? I'm amazed not to be able to find out with a simple web search, but I can't.

I believe Anderson & Sheppard has made at least some of his suits.

Why should one expect to find this information on the web? Surely no reputable cutter/tailor would breach client confidentiality in such a vulgar way>

Many tailors do (presumably with their clients' approval) advertise the great and the good (sometimes the notorious) who are on their books. I am fairly sure that Prince Michael used Davies & Son (probably others too) in the 1980s-1990s; probably from the fact that George V had used them and they held his warrant, but I don't know where he goes now.

There he is still! Also the Duke went there and several others in The Greatest Firm went to the greatest firm. I cannot say that they do much for Ant 'n' Dec but then....They have done a lot for stage and film. I recall seeing Richard E Grant's coat for Withnail and I on a hanger awaiting a fitting in the mid eighties.

According to this piece, Davies were Prince's first tailors, though not necessarily current ones.

Here is a relevant fragment:

Prince Michael's first proper suit was cut by Davies & Sons, tailors to Lord Nelson, the Duke of Windsor and Calvin Klein. 'I was about 15. I've still got some Davies suits in tweed made for me in the 1960s,' he says. 'They still fit, though they would need some adjustments.'

Not necessarily his current tailors (although why raise the question when the only implication from the Daily Telegraph article is that Davies suits last ?) but it would be an odd organisation that advertised a faded link with a prominent man, by reference to a relatively recent photograph. Moreover, despite DFR's observation, more or less any famous man, in (bloody) 'modern Britain', seems to be 'on' for a meaningful discount, in return for a little reciprocal publicity. Probably, even old Scholte was not quite oblivious to the advantages of having a royal patron and I doubt whether his most famous client ever paid the full price, in comparison with the outer edge, who clamoured to be favoured.
