Oh My God! What if HRHTPOW happens to buy a RTWBD at Brooks Brother? Just to take the freedom that every gent should have, namely to chose from the available range of menswear, no matter is it MTM, RTW or "bespoke".
Would he then stand there  without suits AND even without shirts?!? Turned down by his now  All-Over-Outfitter Turnbull & Asser?
What a shame ! Shocking!
If my bespoke - taylor would tell the world "Camlot is no longer a customer of us because he recently bought a Kiton suit off-the-rack", then I would kick his ass without even be-spoke it. tztztz...
To me "Marriage" with "For-Ever-True"  and "Thou-Must-Never-Come-Back" is too strong a relationship between a tailor and his custumer.

Excuse my poor english, my reading is much better than my (english) writing, but sometimes I cannot hold my fingers still.





The quoted article said that the relationship between ones bespoke-tailor and the custumer is like marriage.

I so don't get this reverance towards A&S. Yes, I'm sure the workmanship is outstanding but that "soft" cut works for so few people in reality. Oh well.

IMHO, Charles, while he tends to wear nice threads-I assume someone else picks his wardrobe-is stiff and uncomfortable-looking in his clothes. A far cry from the D of W, who truly revolutionized men's wear, and looked comfortable doing it, once he broke from old traditions and established his own look.
