I had an email from Kathryn Sargent saying she's now set up her own business and based at 6 Sackville Street.
She will do just fine.
she got a good eye and great ass
Kathryn Sargent is off on her own; sharing premises with Meyer & Mortimer. God Speed to her.
Sadly, a noble thread sinks to the level of one of the late and lamentable Carry On films.
Cor, she's got knockers, huh, huh!

is any of her stuff good?
I didn't think they allowed Rottweilers into shops.
I don't know why, but Savile Row has beens going on a decline since the 60's or 70's, i believe. Can anybody tell me why? And where are all the good english tailors. It was said that Gieves and Hawkes was the best. Now it can barely live up to No 1 Savile Row.
^I use to buy G&Hs RTW stuff from their Chester store back in the mid to late 90s, it was extremely expensive for me then, but seriously good gear. Mainly shirts and trousers. The ties were a bit plain and stuffy for me, but they did have some decent knitted ties one season. It was recognisably English with its own sensibility and style that if you knew, would instantly by attributed to G&H. Reinforced with C&Js shoes, it felt like I had arrived.
Some of the online stuff was good five or six years ago, then they the quality went cheap and nasty, with super slim modern fits. Like Brooks, there must be elements of strength remaining amongst the dross.

David has made several pertinent points. It is important to distinguish G&H bespoke from its RTW range. RTW prices have been raised considerably in the last year or so. With Abercrombie & Fitch moving in next door with its children's range, there is another good reason to avoid that end of the Row.
