Re: Napoli Tailoring
Oh Marc. Eric Clapton is a fine singer and his Unplugged album is one of my absolute favourites. But to set him up an an exemplar of men's clothing is silly.
The Cordings stuff is a PR puff - their jackets are rtw stuff. The original company hasn't operated for years and they don't make MTM let alone bespoke. All their suits and all their jackets have the same shape (just look on the site). It's a pose for tourists. The proposition that this shop prescribes English traditional dress - which seems to be based purely on the fact that you have heard of it - is moronic.

Re: Napoli Tailoring
Well, I suppose stamping your foot about your answer satisfies you. That certainly fits with your general approach. I'm content to let others judge - you are tediously repeating yourself (Now! With Fresh added Insults for the True Grayson Experience!!!) and you don't look like being able to answer my questions any time soon.
But what I would give to be a fly on the wall when you ring Raphael and find out I'm right. If he takes your call.

Re: Napoli Tailoring
No thank you. Firstly, the only person whining is you. More importantly (I know - more important than you - shocking), although cheese is often said to go well with wine I think Beer is a better match. Copper Dragon, particularly, is a wonderful accompaniment to hard English cheese because its heather and honey overtones complement the bite of the cheese.
An exception is Savoie cheese and Reblochon which I find is perfect with Jura wine. The most usual suggested wine is Beaujolais but Jura is better.
Anyway, enough of these matters. I know you're not allowed to drink yet. Have you enrolled at school as I suggested? It would really help you to read the information you have quoted and reassess you reliance on it.
