Call me a philistine on philosphy. To be honest with you I don't even know what exactly the word means. I think I care more for the extrateresstials.

Re: Pleased to meet all of you!
Time to resume talk about my past bespoke experiences. For a change today I'd like to talk about a really good one.
Maurice Sedwell
Ever since Maurice Sedwell took over Tommy Nutter's premises on Savile Row, I was always fascinated by their jackets on display in the window. I found them innovative yet not out of line. About 12 years ago I decided to have a go and was met by Mr. Andrew Ramroop, who is both a cutter and a tailor. Right from the start when he began to ask about all my details requirement to the first and second fittings I knew I was in for a treat. I just couldn't wait to see the suit being completed.
On the collection afternoon I was completely over the moon when I saw myself in the new suit in the mirror. After a round of catwalk in the showroom on Mr. Ramroop's request I was ready to take it off, pay up and go. Suddenly he asked me not to take the jacket off and go back to the fitting room. He then had a thorough inspection on the two sides of my shoulders and said I couldn't take the suit away because the two shoulders weren't even and he had to put a little bit more padding in the left due to my left shoulder drops slightly lower than the other side. I explained to him I didn't mind to take it as it's and had a plane to catch the next morning. He insisted alteration needed be done and asked if I could come back at 7.30 that evening as he was willing to stay on longer to finish the job. That's what I call dedication.

Marc,
If Mr. Ramroop still travels to US himself to measure and fit clients up then you must give him a try. He is very dedicated and a prefectionist. The pants he makes have a lot of hand work.

Doc,
Very informative posts on Savile Row - much appreciated. Do you have any experience of Anderson & Sheppard, or any ex-A&S cutters such as Tom Mahon?
