The image of the British gent reigns supreme.

Re: The US love of bespoke British suits

In all fairness, looking from the outside in, so to speak, I don't really think being either side of the pond makes anyone more fuddy-duddy than anyone else. Having seen the "new" limited ed jackets from Hardy & Johnson my first thought was; are their still people alive that'd wear that style? Horrible really. No wonder the Anglo style is carrying more clout for the man who wants to look serious in his career.

Poor indeed. Still, made in Gt. Britain and retailing for £250 what can you expect really?

Re: The US love of bespoke British suits

I beg to differ, those jackets are minging. At least cut the loose threads off the label stitching that states "hand finished".

I find it hard to believe you've ever been in a "fancy outfitters" if you think those jackets are well made. x
