If you don’t follow Dominic Sandbrook’s & Tom Holland’s (not that Tom Holland..) channel “The Rest is History” I can heartily recommend it.

In need of something to wear, they visit Anderson & Sheppard & take their film crew.

Hope you enjoy it.

A very entertaining watch, but am I the only one disappointed by the collar of the blue pinstripe suit which looks very much to be sitting off the wearer’s neck?

This symptom is apparent in every jacket worn by Tom(?) in the video. They did mention that a few little tweaks were needed before removing the jacket in the fitting room. Maybe they addressed it and just didn't comment on the matter in the video? I admittedly did not pay close attention to the fit when they where preparing backstage at the end.

Maybe I am late to the party, but have you watched Phantom Thread with Daniel Day Lewis? He plays a women’s dress designer but he is very stylish himself.

The outfits he wears are amazing and cut and made by Anderson and Sheppard. One of the few movies with no collar gaps.

The cloths are also beautiful coming mainly from Lovat and Fox Brothers.

It’s worth watching for the beautiful tailoring. I think I was so concentrated on the drape and cut and how beautifully they sat, that I missed half the dialogue.

Worth mentioning: according to GQ UK, Lewis wears a gunmetal chalkstripe suit from Michael Alden's LL/Fox flannel bunch: https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article/p ... ad-fashion

You've convinced me to watch it.

Okay, but who’s going to mention the coat fabric. 1kg tweed! (34 oz, so close). What a cloth.
