...a Soho tailor who cut American style suits...
Mentioned in a Nick Cohn text...
He might have done Ivy or the earlier American looks, I think. Very hip with British jazz musicians in the mid50s. More expensive than Cecil Gee...
Any pics?
Any memories from JS or Graham Marsh?
Better known was Sam Arkus in Soho who also cut Ivy from early on...

Didn't Richmond Hill use him?
You're probably right. I guess, Ben Harris cut the earlier American look in London...
A custom version of the earlier Cecil Gee look, sharp suits for entertainers, matching band stuff.
Sam Arkus must have been later... That's a nice pic by the way...
