Gieves and Hawkes limitations

There is a limitation to what a suit can do for you.
Tailoring will not alter other strongly held opinions.

Kathryn Sargent (in the 2nd pic down) is the cutter who had made the G&H suit in the disaster "3 tailors, 3 suits" thread (http://forums.filmnoirbuff.com/viewtopic.php?id=3963).

Contrary to lies of FNB and Woofboxer, I (and most of the other "Buff Bastards") have been banned from posting on this forum. There are only a few posters left so don't waste your time on here. This forum is dead and nobody cares.

Re: Gieves and Hawkes limitations
Incidently, Gieves & Hawkes online shop is no longer with us. Will it remerge in a rebirth, or is it over? 400 quid for a Gieves & Hawkes suit is pretty damn cheap, they were a lot more when I was last in dear old Blighty over ten years ago, as I remember. But what I hear, is that Gieves & Hawkes is on par with M&S these days. If its good enough for Gordon, its not good enough for me.
