^ Charles has had his moments but his patched Lobbs and suits don't work and look pretentious. The public expects its Royals to wear the best of British.

Re: The English Look...

Ian Carmichael, who played, inter alios, Lord Peter Wimsey, used Adeney & Boutroy for his personal tailoring and, probably, the Wimsey clothes were made by them too. However, the only suit that Carmichael ever kept was the green shooting suit from 'Five Red Herrings'. Goodness knows what they did with the rest! Otherwise, his souvenirs were just the rimless eyeglass and the miniature statue which 'Marjorie Phelps' made of him in the television adaptation of The 'Unpleasantness at The Bellona Club'. The Dorothy L Sayers books are fairly light on descriptions of Wimsey's clothes and I suppose that the reader is just left to imagine what a rich, younger son of a duke would have worn in the inter-war years.

Re: The English Look...

Only a PS - And the English appropriated so much from elsewhere for their look.  It's wonderfully circular.

The Fair Isle Sweater is soooo English...   But it's Scottish and the patterns are Islamic/Moorish via Spanish sailors shipwrecked up in the Isles.

- And there is English style in a nutshell.

Re: The English Look...

Even some quintessential English films, those written, produced and directed by The Archers i.e. Michael Powell and  Emeric Pressburger, had a good dose of the immigrant in them from Pressburger who arrived in England from Nazi Germany in 1935. Those magnificent films post-WWII have to be among the greatest British films ever made.

I'm amazed that anyone would admire the way Prince Michael dresses.  He looks like the worst type of i-gent, with those horrible fat lapels and ties.
