Re: Pleased to meet all of you!
Marc,
You can't just say all Savile Row cutters and tailors screwed things up and turn out bad suits. There're a few of them I met and used I'd call them dedicated and their works top of the world. Unfortunately they all seem to be retired or sadly dead and in most cases the whole tailoring house disappeared.

Re: Pleased to meet all of you!
Nemesis,
As for shoes I'm not that fussy. I think all the bespoke shoesmakers I used make excellent laced up shoes. But for causal loafers I prefer the fit of G. Marini of Roma.
Shoemakers I've used:
Germany: B. Klemann
England: J. Lobb, Maxwell, New and Lingwood, T. Hill(gone), A. Mcafee(gone)
Italy: G. Marini

Marc,
There're still a few good old tailors working or fitting customers on Savile Row. The ones that immediately spring to my mind are Mr. M. Plews, Mr A. Ramroop, Mr. D. Appleby and of course J. Coggin.

Re: Pleased to meet all of you!
Some more things to add regarding my English friend.
I've known him for over 28 years and his socks are always in either pink or bright red. Although he has many pairs of bespoke shoes from J. Lobb, more often than not he's seen in Gucci horsebit loafers.

Re: Pleased to meet all of you!
Twin Six,
Back in the mid 80s in Frankfurt I had a Japanese work colleague whom I'd say the most knowledgeable person in bespoke clothing I've ever met. His suits made by his Japanese tailor are probably the best I've seen, workmanship-wise definitely the best. He told me his tailor was such a prefectionist that he even counted and made sure the stitches on the both sides of the lapels were of the same number.
Our work back then involved a lot of travelling to England so literally whenever we're in London we always tried our luck on Savile Row for suits as well as in bars for women and in casinos for money. Fond memories.
At that time his opinion and I seconded, was that the best tailoring house was Hogg and Sons, which is sadly now defunct.

Gladhatter,
Unbelievable...really. I find myself longing for those halcyon donkey parables of yesteryear.

Gladhatter,
I won't argue with you but I've got to make it clear to you that these bright colour pants are not invented by me. They're worn and only appreciated by certain type of men who I just happen to be one. In effect they're almost like a masonary code that the outsiders will never understand it.

I'm just overwhlemed by the adjectives and so many qualifying phrases. We've got to get the prose under control. Maybe read Hemingway for a model.

Re: Pleased to meet all of you!
Horace and all that feel the need to read my pandering thoughts, I appologized in advance for my limitations on the written use of the english language. I will fully understand and comply of the ones in charge here were to ask me to not post at all in the future or if I am being a disruption to this forum.

Re: Pleased to meet all of you!
Horace, I have found you to be most pleasent at all times and certainly some times we all make comments that we could have phrased better or decide to have a bit of forum fun at anothers expense and making a singular mistake does not make us bad men at all. I know my writting skills and my colliquialisms are distressing to some readers along with my run on sentences and grammer and punctionuation. What some find however is the passion with which I write and the deeper meaning that I hope to evoke from others that something extra that will make them feel they are a better person for having choosen a wiser path due to it.
Naieve is another word that would apply to me but I prefer to think of it as humanly optimistic and progressive and hopeful for man now and a generation to come.

Nemesis,
No, I wasn't remotely quoting J-P Sartre. And after all I'm a German if you know what I mean.

No, what I meant was that we German despise a certain type of men.
