"A witty exploration of the evolution of the gentleman's suit. Alastair Sooke only owns one suit, but he is fascinated by how the matching jacket and trousers has become a uniform for men. Over the last 100 years the suit has evolved from working man's Sunday best to the casual wear of royalty.
For many 'the suit' is synonymous with all that is dull. But tailor Charlie Allen, Top Man chief designer Gordon Richardson and Sir Paul Smith show Alastair that the suit can be a cutting-edge fashion item and 'armour' to face the world."
Owns one suit?! Sounds like a typical Sleaze Forumite or Andylander to me!
He seemed a bit simple. He came out of a tailor in Islington delighted when all he had been told was the bleedin obvious.
Crap suit he wore at the end (Paul Smith) was nothing to write home about either.
