*Thank You: North Productions*

[@redblade43]

There are not many gentlemen like that.

[@codiserville593]

Ooh nice

[@redblade43]

And that's the way to make a selfish and miserable world when everyone adopts that philosophy in life (is this not what we have already)?

[@a04828450]

"When people wear a suit, apart from looking better, , it gives them another edge to their important meetings, or their first dates, or dinner dates." How true. The care put into crafting suits or any other fine clothes really speaks about the dignity of our body and, in turn, makes us aware of *some* of our value.

[@redblade43]

The Mafia and many of you crooks wear suits when they gun people down, but at least it makes them look good and feel better.

[@Friendznco]

Redblade we get it you're a loser.

[@redblade43]

You don't get it, because you're a brainless tosser.

[@GrandMoffTarkinsTeaDispenser]

What is wrong with you Redblade why do suits bother you so much? Are you some sort of inquisitor who dictates what people may or may not wear?

[@user-li5wk2yq4b]

Smiled and nodded when he said "and they look the bollucks". Say it like it is, with a touch of class. Nice one Edward.

[@private0077897]

"And they look the bollocks..." That comment made the whole film. Cheers

[@brendanashe5882]

I was just about to say that.

[@NevrSilent]

True that. To watch this genteel, highly refined Brit decide to go OG and a little vulgar was the crown piece to this.

[@bluewaterpines8323]

Dear Sir Sexton,my mother was one of the most beautiful dressmakers/seamstresses you ever were to meet.Our coats were excuisite,and always with a matching hat.She made gloves,as well out of kidskin and lined them.Not only could she sew,but was equally talented in knitting,and all forms of needlework. The last item made for me was a panne velvet dress (The very old YARDAGE coming out of a cedar chest from grandmother),that was the color of a fawn.The collar was a Peter pan style,lined with cream silk,and the sleeves were leg of mutton...lol...and the bodice fitted,but slightly flared.All lined .I wore this with cream stockings and chocolate coloured small heels.marion my mother would have adored you!

[@thereseember2800]

Your skillful expertise is immensely appreciated.

[@CrystalSauceOnEverything]

I would wear one of these suits proudly every day

[@Eric-sy1xu]

Emerson Sortun This is beside the point, but if you wear the same suit every day you're not taking care of the suit.

[@redblade43]

Even if you take a shower?

Edward Smith was a Saville Row Tailor. Edward went to University, where he studied Physics. When he Graduated, he quit Tailoring and joined the British Royal Navy. As a Physicist he was Appointed as an Officer, as a Man of Short Stature, he was posted to Submarine Service, aboard a British Nuclear Submarine. His job was to look after the Onboard Nuclear Reactor. British Nuclear Submarines could be at Sea for Months on end. And Edward needed something to occupy his Off Duty Hours. When Edward Reported aboard, he always did so with Two Bolts of Cloth. At the end of his Deployment, himself and another Officer, were able to leave the Submarine with Brand New Saville Row Suits.

[@Sauer_Kraut]

Most commonwealth nations prefix their armed forces with their country names, i.e Royal *Canadian* Navy. Could be why they thought they needed to add *British*

[@michaelodonoghue7464]

If I was living in England I would doubtless have simply said The Royal Navy, but because I'm in Australia, I felt that some clarification was necessary and would help. Beyond that, everything else is simply (in My opinion) Semantics. Apologies to anyone whose Sensibilities I may have Offended.

Can u imagine the integrity of the master tailor and his superb craftsmanship. This is what i call a master craftsman. I would be so honoured to be able to wear a garment by them if i were a gentleman.

[@mohdusman9230]

It's great different in many occupation. Tailors work is to hard .1 design 2 if hand embroidery with needle or machines. 3.drafting .4 internals materiel useing ..correctly joints this all part of drees ..most and most important. .human body identifications konws. .secret how to use its ..what is the principle of Archimedes .💐❤🎓📏📐📈📉

[@fdw1234]

They make women's clothes too

[@rosalindlewis3523]

The experience of something built around you. I measured a guy and all I wanted was to obtain these tailored clothes that I would spot at thrift, consignment or any store that receipted previously worn clothes. The quality of these clothes when seen would make an individual who could not afford this service buy gently used and worn donations. Tailoring clothes are a wonderful way for anyone to live.

[@keeponsearchingearth1543]

Bravo Gentlemen, Bravo.

[@RaiceGeriko]

That is a damn fine suit the older gentleman is wearing.

I want a navy suit for war

[@stewartmac1]

I have just today purchased a gold collar pin from Edward Sexton. The pin is handmade in Hatton Garden by jeweller Toby McLellan. Every Gentleman should have a quality collar pin in his armoury along with cufflinks & a Swiss watch. I believe that if you are in a room full of 'suits', the chances are you will be the only person wearing a collar pin; it will elevate your tie (and you,) above every one else & will induce a severe case of 'collar envy'. Women have an uncanny eye for detail...they will pick up on the fact that you try...but not too hard! This will be an heirloom piece that will be handed down to my Son along with the aforementioned cufflinks & watch.

[@TTURBOVOLVO]

Nice man, I was wondering if it would be a no go if I wear a gold pin while wearing silver jewelry (watch and ring), what do you think?

[@LondonRocksJewellery]

@@TTURBOVOLVO lots of people don't approve of mixing metals. I say do what you feel is right its a personal choice, probably the style of the jewellery is more important than the colour of the metal

[@juanaltredo2974]

I've noticed a lot of these very elegant gentlemen are always slim or not fat. I'm regretfully fat, is it more difficult to make a fat man elegant and if so, is it in fact possible to have a big belly yet be gentleman-like in your suits and appearance? thanks for your help, slimmer ones.

[@tokyoniki9200]

U r like master Italian tailor

[@PoweRaGER]

It says "By Appointment to Ladies and Gent*el*men" on the sign there, isn't that misspelled? (not a native speaker here)

[@byHazuL]

Yes, yes it is

[@a_single_white_female]

It could be that was the older way of spelling the word. I have found some older writings with it spelled in that manner. books.google.com/books?id=7m71x9c7umMC&pg=RA1-PA134&lpg=RA1-PA134&dq=gentelmen&source=bl&ots=HmGSy4fOxo&sig=rvEflJRKv_VXQfpfmvGTsWLGZhk&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjRzcK3krjZAhUM72MKHY3vB3kQ6AEIVTAJ#v=onepage&q=gentelmen&f=false

[@Commonwealth96]

It is an informal way, or common man’s way, of saying that the purchaser of the suit knows they look extremely good and Purchaser feels extremely good. It’s a way of saying that they look ready to grab the world by the balls.

Он или она не хотели все время тянуть за своей одеждой, чтобы он мог идти в ногу с ними и становился неудобным. Разве вы никогда не носили специально подобранный костюм, прежде чем это было сделано для вас? Тогда вы узнаете.

I've never been a fan of suits, always felt they were too delicate and a bit stiff or restrictive. Recently I got a couple of tailor made suits and they were much better than off the rack but I d rather dress more comfortably and make more of an effort in the gym to gain that manly alpha poise that no suit can replace. Ties we should just get rid of completely

[@VRichardsn]

Tastes are up to everyone, and entirely subjective. That being said, I have never seen an atire suit a man better than a bespoken suit.
