I’m the person who’s hyping about Cesare Attolini on your website :), but genuinely all your work has been a guiding light through my journey. I started with Massimo Dutti many years ago and now wear Cesare Attolini and a lot of the appreciation needed to be willing to spend that money on, and being able to identify, real quality has come from your work.

Hello from the U.S. 👋 I do typically follow what you have done, with a few exceptions. 1) I use these wonderful laundry flakes with 4 ingredients, 2) I rinse until my water is clear - using the same method, 3) I don’t worry about spots or stains, except to blot what I can, then wait to wash, which sounds crazy, but different stains & fabrics require different removal methods, 4) I will never go back to any dry cleaner, 5) If I’m trying to dry on a towel, I use a fan or ceiling fan. If it will fit onto a flat rack, that helps. My 100% wool fisherman’s sweaters, and all else, are dry within 24 hours. I will switch towels & positions to prevent mildew. THANK YOU!

I have admired Savile Row tailors for years. I was in London about a year ago and decided I was going to pull the trigger and commission a suit. As an American I have to admit entering the shops was a little bit intimidating, at least the first time. Because I was on vacation, I wasn't wearing a suit but I put on the best clothes that I had brought with me, which were still vacation casual. The shops are all so historic and so authentically British. I wondered if the sales people would take one look at me and say, "I'm sorry sir, but we obviously have a dress code here and you don't measure up. Leave before we call a Bobby to remove you. Besides, you're obviously an American. Get out." lol Thankfully, my concerns were completely unjustified. I ended up stopping in a number of shops, including A&S, and the staff in each one could not have been more warm, welcoming and gracious. I ended up narrowing down my choices to the shops that do Trunk Shows in Seattle as it's the closest to my home in Portland plus my son and his family live there so it's a good excuse to make the trip. I've now commissioned not only the suit but a blazer as well. Ms. Rowland strikes me as an incredibly bright, charismatic and inspiring leader. I'm sure A&S will do well with her at the helm. I'll have to pick up some items at the Haberdashery.

Wonderful interview, I thought it was a very honest and real take on the industry. One minor point I take some issue with is the implication that Brexit has impacted the availability of skilled immigrant workers in the UK. If you look at the actual numbers however, the UK let in twice as many immigrants last year than they did the year prior to Brexit.
@PermanentStyleLondon6 ай бұрын
Thank you. Yes, obviously a complex subject, but I think those numbers have largely been an increase in non-EU that outweighed the decrease in EU - eg from Hong Kong. Workers can of course come from anywhere, but generally the easiest has historically been from locations inside the EU.

The guy in the video is not pressing properly or using the sleeve board properly.... a sleeve board should be inside the dam sleeve....a 2x4 covered in cotton felt with the corners sanded smooth can be placed inside the sleeve to press easily.... make your own tools .... and you get exactly what you want ..... use 2x4 that is low in pitch content or use hardwood or even plywood
@bricecook16806 ай бұрын
Take a pressing cloth I use flour sack material... fold it several times to get a gentle roll start with more thickness of press cloth at first being careful not to press hard and make a crease.... you can take a piece of 1/8th inch plywood covered with felt or thin cotton batting.... you can have a straight edge plywood or concave or convex... just steam the edge more than pushing down with the iron use plenty of steam or spritz the press cloth or plywood press board batting.... you can shape the lapel to take your desired shape.... using plywood (sand the edge to a nice roundthen cover with cotton felt/batting) covered with cotton batting or felt... this board will make pressing lapels easy make 2 one with convex lapel one with concave and both with a straight edge in the other side you can make this narrow so it fits into sleeves and it will speed your pressing... when you steam let the moisture dry thoroughly and the lapel will take a nice set without a crease or sharp line which runs the drape.

I've only met Tony once (had a good chat about Cheltenham races), but have met the rest of the guys loads. There is a thread of humbleness and class that runs through them all. And what an honour to make something so personal and tactile for the King.

I wear orthotics due to an old army injury and told Tony I needed a pair of fairly traditional bespoke Oxford style boots making which would accommodate my unusual feet shapes (with a soft, low cut ankle section - something I could discreetly wear in wet weather under black tie or white tie trousers), but still I wanted to see something of a modern twist to the old-fashioned plain Oxford vamp. In thirty seconds he interpreted my thoughts and sketched on a sheet of paper a lovely twist on the traditional design - exactly what I was looking for - remarkable. I’m really looking forward to seeing the finished product.

I always like monochrome and multiples for travel. (Admittedly, that's my go-to in general, but I like it even more for travel.) It's easy to pack a bunch of pieces in different weights that all work together. If you end up with weather that's not exactly what you expected and you end up having to re-wear something constantly It's not so obvious. Like, I just got back from Helsinki. It was supposed to be in the forties and fifties, but I brought a knee length gray cashmere coat just in case. (It's nice to have a luxe, elegant option for colder nights that's not formal if nothing else.) It was blizzarding almost the whole time we were there, so I basically wore it for a week. I was super happy to have a whole suitcase of black and gray separates to coordinate with it. Keeping it all monochrome reads more "signature look" and less, "this is the only jacket I brought that works."

Why doesn’t this all this just get undone when the suit is cleaned?
@PermanentStyleLondon7 ай бұрын
Good question. Partly it's because once the garment has been shaped by the iron, the stitching holds the shape in place. With other areas, like the trousers, the pressing needs to be redone when the suit is cleaned. But then, tailoring should only be cleaned very rarely. Unless you spill something on it, brushing and other care at home is sufficient, and better for the cloth
