I won't mention names as that is bad manners and am not out to damage their excellent reputation rather make aware to any that follow in their footsteps how you can become a sad and fearful boss or figure rather than inspiration to others. </p><p>Back to the article. It read that this event is free and open to all that wished to join. All I had to do was register online and would be welcome.</p><p>So I did and was helped wonderfully by the magazine. I registered with my personal email as was not on company business, remember I am in the same line of business as the company I am talking about. The visiting tailoring business.</p><p>To be honest, the reason I had wanted to go was I had read a lot about these chaps and the success they had and kind of wanted to get to meet them and hear what expert knowledge they could impart.</p><p>My registration was paused as they couldn't take a personal email for the event and must have a company name in. So I sent my work one.</p><p> Silly me, I though that meant it was a trade event and that must mean other tailors would appear. I was wrong but was my thought process so was even more excited to meet lots of different chaps in the industry and talk shop over a glass of champers.</p><p>I was accepted and even went on to ask if I could bring a date. Yes was the answer from the mag. No was the answer from my wife when I asked if she wanted to go as she had studying to do for a test. So I invited one of my work colleagues who I knew knew the owners personally.</p><p>He thought it would be a great idea and evening to boot. I had been looking forward to all week, as I rarely get some me time being a dad of a little one, and a good mate was joining me to go. Even better.</p><p>So we arrived, talking about what it was going to be like.</p><p>We ascended the Savile Row office steps and then further up to the first floor and entered what seem to be a event in full swing. Well dressed gentlemen and ladies were everywhere and photographers were dotted around (Karl Lagerfeld was opening the new Regent Street Chanel shop round the corner so most photojourns were there).</p><p>My colleague and I immediately made for the owners to say hi from him and introduce my self from me.</p><p>Not for an instance did I expect the reaction we got. It wasn't angry or furious or anything that terrible. He just said (and I do appreciate I am paraphrasing but apswaer blind it is as close to the true gist of it as can remember):</p><p><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">HIM "I don't think its fair that you have come here tonight."</span></p><p>US "Huh? What do you mean?"</p><p>HIM "I don't think its right you have come. I imagine it would be an unspoken rule to not turn up here." (because we were from another visiting tailoring company I assumed correctly)</p><p>US "Why? What's wrong with us being here? We're not here to try and steal your clients."</p><p>HIM "Well, I can't force you to leave so stay if you really must but I do think it's unfair."</p><p>(there were 10 or so people directly around us but felt that if we were only he would have walked us to the door himself)</p><p>I tried to explain my reasons for coming as both me and my colleague love tailoring and fine fitting clothing and had wanted to enjoy an evening hosted by two guys who have made some great success for themselves. Eager to learn always. </p><p>He still felt we were crossing some awful line that we should have seen. So, we politely left, clearly not wanted and basically kicked out for whatever reason. I can only imagine it was fear. Fear of us stealing clients (nothing would ever tempt us to reveal we were from a rival company to their clients let alone try to steal them. And we had gone straight up to them to introduce ourselves or say hi in my colleagues case. Theives don't operate so), fear of us learning something about their business, fear of....i know not what.</p><p>It was sad more than anything. I hope when I am succesful to that degree I won't operate out of fear and uneeded secrecy from people in the business. Or anyone for that matter.</p><p>So there, that was my thursday night event.</p><p>My colleague was livid and took a while for the smoke to stop emitting from his ears. We ended up for a quick drink at a wonderful jazz and blues bar nearby where we had, we felt, a much better time than we would have had at the tailoring event.</p><p>We didn't get slammed. We left by 8pm. But my colleague did bump into an old friend and his friends grilfriend so we chatted with them whilst a live band played a foot away from our heads.</p><p>I even bumped into a very happy client who just happened to be there that night and his delightful partner who complimented me on my work for his first suit.</p><p>So thanks to those that deserve and a shameful shake of the head to the owners. Hope you think better of your business brothers in the furture guys.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align: right; font-size: small; clear: both;" id="blogsy_footer"><a href="http://blogsyapp.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://blogsyapp.com/images/blogsy_footer_icon.png" alt="Posted with Blogsy" style="vertical-align: middle; margin-right: 5px;" width="20" height="20" />Posted with Blogsy</a></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05122324548724192326noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7304148839598330850.post-21007287576460982412014-03-11T13:22:00.001+00:002014-03-15T23:52:21.657+00:00 Win Free Men's Clothing - Bonobos "Work Essentials Giveaway" - USA only!<p><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">I have been asked by the extremely kind and forgiving (I completely missed his original email) Jason at Bonobos, the US men's clothing company, to see if I was interested posting about a competition they're having.

It is truly beautiful and poetic such as films rarely are nowadays. The director is Wes Anderson who's CV includes Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou and now The Grand Budapest Hotel.</p><p>My post is not truly continuing as it may seem as a simple plug/gush about how good this is but I encourage any fan of good cinema to see it. Whilst I sincerely dissmiss most cinemas these days as souless carriages of overpriced Box Office rubbish with a simple Popcorn and Drink seemingly doubling the ticket fee there is every now an again a film which warrants your discomfort and pain to experience something that transports you beyond reality into the field of fantasy of which I believe is the reason cinema exists. So please go see The Grand Budapest Hotel. I don't think you will regret it.</p><p>So no, I am not reviewing or posting to lament cinema or films state of reality. More to laud the beauty in sartorial ellegance and power of The Grand Budapest's design and aesthetic quality.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirOlOAMl7dDR63atAkoI-VkK2a3BPhcFPiVlczLw4toqyq4owkcZnQr4sOHUSPrsh2Fqf-GRjrr84mXEI8xHYdFrzftnWhPRbJ1RNQUzS6Los1bJ82dhvtllk8B4XWQkCzOgWTfAXHuqs/s1024/Photo%25252020140310080235.jpg" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirOlOAMl7dDR63atAkoI-VkK2a3BPhcFPiVlczLw4toqyq4owkcZnQr4sOHUSPrsh2Fqf-GRjrr84mXEI8xHYdFrzftnWhPRbJ1RNQUzS6Los1bJ82dhvtllk8B4XWQkCzOgWTfAXHuqs/s500/Photo%25252020140310080235.jpg" id="blogsy-1394438652815.493" class="aligncenter" alt="" width="500" height="780"></a></div><p> And this nomination for cinematic beauty goes to Milena Canonero the Costume designer of The Grand Budapest Hotel. Her Film credits are long and varied and include such works as The Clockwork Orange, The Shining, Ocean's Twelve and many of Wes Anderson's films. he clearly appreciates her vision and we are not disappointed with her latest venture here.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfn9hjjHJffXdDnzy8II-OzgtdpDXSN8CURXKuBrPboVgf8w29SlT9x8plr2a4TbAAGwEgcVdfpT9YX08jvUs8C_2lVG9Y0VFQ6yUrg_cgznaHyzgveq71dQjtloIW0jOv4xJ7PsMqPo8/s420/Photo%25252020140310080235.jpg" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfn9hjjHJffXdDnzy8II-OzgtdpDXSN8CURXKuBrPboVgf8w29SlT9x8plr2a4TbAAGwEgcVdfpT9YX08jvUs8C_2lVG9Y0VFQ6yUrg_cgznaHyzgveq71dQjtloIW0jOv4xJ7PsMqPo8/s420/Photo%25252020140310080235.jpg" id="blogsy-1394438652786.2263" class="aligncenter" alt="" width="280" height="420"></a></div><p> </p><p>The film boast an array of outstanding acting hertiage but I will focus on the most powerful in their costume presence towards men's style. Whilst the outfits of TGBH may not be worn in everyday living they should certainly influence the trend towards the classic, traditional origins of todays suitings just as Robert Downey Jnr's Sherlock Holmes has. Incidently Jude Law is in both Sherlock Holmes and TGBH and perfectly attired in both as befits the character. I envy him.</p><p>So lets start with him. Jude Law:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbpZon3kkXcHMJ6poBpekEbFcfe_2w7_EF8a9lfF-sXPtdK0enFpQdUW9P8gYgT67TZLndMxAQt6UX38X1tb0RyOGyyLe-qFYsl7SyLy6-PYjqg0EFFdtp5f262qPaPKAySJSd85hWvgc/s500/Photo%25252020140310080235.jpg" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbpZon3kkXcHMJ6poBpekEbFcfe_2w7_EF8a9lfF-sXPtdK0enFpQdUW9P8gYgT67TZLndMxAQt6UX38X1tb0RyOGyyLe-qFYsl7SyLy6-PYjqg0EFFdtp5f262qPaPKAySJSd85hWvgc/s500/Photo%25252020140310080235.jpg" id="blogsy-1394438652765.7134" class="aligncenter" alt="" width="500" height="333"></a></div><p> Jude plays the young writer (Tom Wilkinson plays the present day older version and both are in identical costume) travelling alone in the now forlorn and soon to be demolished Grand Budapest Hotel and comes across a story that inspires a new book. Milena dresses him as a rather proper gentleman in heavy shooting tweed apparel with pipe to match. Smart, a little stuffy and shaded in earthy tones of oatmeal and beige.</p><p> Next is F. Murray Abraham who plays Zero the mysterious owner of TGBH who tells his story, of which the films plot follows. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaDcs1EaLvgAsk98KziIgJ0nXx3-eaV4VqYbZgLdMriXdOfI3VENI4Q-6omjupPa8NX1nSMsa35UjhKAYowrikE3eV-llN-Cq32w-oQQGoAjNiGQXqlBWNTubaOotx28JloREqk9aiuTM/s1024/Photo%25252020140310080235.jpg" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaDcs1EaLvgAsk98KziIgJ0nXx3-eaV4VqYbZgLdMriXdOfI3VENI4Q-6omjupPa8NX1nSMsa35UjhKAYowrikE3eV-llN-Cq32w-oQQGoAjNiGQXqlBWNTubaOotx28JloREqk9aiuTM/s500/Photo%25252020140310080235.jpg" id="blogsy-1394438652746.2197" class="aligncenter" alt="" width="500" height="500"></a></div><p>We see him in two ages, as his younger self, and then in the late 60's when he meets the Young Writer Jude Law. His dress echoes a nostalgic stereotype of the 60's of someone garbed in turlenecks and wild facial hair. The velvet jacket he wears is a beautiful purple/blue contrasting nicely against the powerful red of his turtleneck.</p><p>Then is Ralph Fiennes as Gustave, The Grand Budapest Hotel's concierge, and a man of extreme servitude and loyalty to the excellence and honour of a type of Victorianesque habits. This is not set in England though. It's a fictional country in eastern europe called Zubrowka (a polish vodka is its namesake). His main costume is as the concierge and is as colouful as the film in general. Formal, impressive and immaculate.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghibJTWBa6SUDyJa_8gSZl2E3JhP-cr8GsksDOoY-1u1AvmAgI46T8Ajjua48piowL9sS2KeozV_YUfpVVu3DrWk3xMYVvw8sxsNIKFjzvBnsaTJ72tlbG2U-MUVeFAg-pQ5qILTMxR5I/s680/Photo%25252020140310080235.jpg" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghibJTWBa6SUDyJa_8gSZl2E3JhP-cr8GsksDOoY-1u1AvmAgI46T8Ajjua48piowL9sS2KeozV_YUfpVVu3DrWk3xMYVvw8sxsNIKFjzvBnsaTJ72tlbG2U-MUVeFAg-pQ5qILTMxR5I/s500/Photo%25252020140310080235.jpg" id="blogsy-1394438652760.781" class="aligncenter" alt="" width="500" height="351"></a></div><p> The last I will do is Jeff Goldblum's character Deputy Kovacs. I could continue as this film is love letter to beautiful dress and many characters need at least small mention but have not the time or wish to do all and leave nothing to your hopefully soon visiti to see this gorgeous film</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-wLIf9IOsS15m0JBy4Pyf_3zXmKwWbj7MqClTrjb1N9xPjPYdjpjveAFi1svlFReXtJIEPN3EvJNBRuEPAvPS02nGn8kuTWPyYoUiIQrVil9GesIPfQ1UoJk_x14dwTDBafY8rTlGK34/s600/Photo%25252020140310080235.jpg" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-wLIf9IOsS15m0JBy4Pyf_3zXmKwWbj7MqClTrjb1N9xPjPYdjpjveAFi1svlFReXtJIEPN3EvJNBRuEPAvPS02nGn8kuTWPyYoUiIQrVil9GesIPfQ1UoJk_x14dwTDBafY8rTlGK34/s500/Photo%25252020140310080235.jpg" id="blogsy-1394438652792.2642" class="aligncenter" alt="" width="500" height="387"></a></div><p> Deputy Kovacs tends to the dramatic in his manner as does his dress and Milena Canonera again gets it dead right. There is fussiness in his look and a grey overtone that may suggest a drab man but it is all elegantly entwined in such a style that speaks of the more businesslike gentleman of Milan. Large and wide peak lapels on his chalk stripe flannel suit match the man with a fantastic pair of spectacles which I must find out more about. He later wears a dove grey double breasted topcoat and and fedora (I think, will check).</p><p>All works to engance this great script and visual feast and transport us to a place and time that soothes us yet stimulates us. Like coffee. But one of those great artisan coffees that doesn't send bitter notes everywhere throughout the body and leaves us with demon breath for our friends and families to shy away from.</p><p>It lulls us and leads us gently by the hand somewhere wonderful. I suggest you go and see for yourself.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-4siGAnMQyPO5_ku-AQMd0bfPJZg69ow_pbLrf8lwbfGp-A1e7949EXNj32tSVmUScWyGI4ANx3CfiIyPkkqJ0FIVtTrnfw0XSgdVIS1Q34-KVOEpkPV2tsVdSxmZQwJButZJTWDZwCk/s225/Photo%25252020140310080235.jpg" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-4siGAnMQyPO5_ku-AQMd0bfPJZg69ow_pbLrf8lwbfGp-A1e7949EXNj32tSVmUScWyGI4ANx3CfiIyPkkqJ0FIVtTrnfw0XSgdVIS1Q34-KVOEpkPV2tsVdSxmZQwJButZJTWDZwCk/s225/Photo%25252020140310080235.jpg" id="blogsy-1394438652797.9878" class="aligncenter" width="225" height="225" alt=""></a></div><p> </p><div style="text-align: right; font-size: small; clear: both;" id="blogsy_footer"><a href="http://blogsyapp.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://blogsyapp.com/images/blogsy_footer_icon.png" alt="Posted with Blogsy" style="vertical-align: middle; margin-right: 5px;" width="20" height="20" />Posted with Blogsy</a></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05122324548724192326noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7304148839598330850.post-23845593792922692762014-03-08T00:51:00.000+00:002014-03-09T09:23:24.237+00:00Crazy long time between Posts...<p> Hey all</p><p> </p><p>My deep and sincere apologies for leaving a gap so giant between posts that it resembles the hole left in some of the buildings in the new Godzilla trailer (looks awesome but have a feeling may not be all that). </p><p>So, how have you all been?

If you want it to still look good in 10 years, as a good suit rarely worn should last as long as weight doesn't change too greatly, then stick with a medium width lapel (3 to 3 1/2"). This is playing it safe but too wide (4"+) like a Tom Ford jacket and it may look dated in 3-4 years as fashions change. Too trim (2 3/4") and it looks silly. Especially if you are have a 44" chest or wider. 2 3/4" lapel is NOT a bad thing if you are very slim. 38" chest and under are ok for this width.</p><p>Look forward to your emails and comments.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align: right; font-size: small; clear: both;" id="blogsy_footer"><a href="http://blogsyapp.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://blogsyapp.com/images/blogsy_footer_icon.png" alt="Posted with Blogsy" style="vertical-align: middle; margin-right: 5px;" width="20" height="20" />Posted with Blogsy</a></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05122324548724192326noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7304148839598330850.post-70153121642343552002013-06-26T06:20:00.001+01:002013-06-26T06:20:01.974+01:00Where in London is a good tailor for alterations?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/76413525@N03/9141623702/" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3780/9141623702_709d7a5905_c.jpg" id="blogsy-1372224002140.0256" class="aligncenter" alt="" width="500" height="667"></a></div>
<p>Say no more my fellow well dressed enthusiasts. I have the very place. I recently met John, a very generous and humble egyptian tailor around the Old Street area of London. He has been doing tailoring for 15 years since he was 2 he says but think this may be a porky as he resembles the bad guy in the desert in the first Iron Man and he doesnt look 17.</p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/76413525@N03/9139398223/" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3829/9139398223_89de0ab5ce.jpg" id="blogsy-1372224002148.919" class="aligncenter" width="500" height="375" alt=""></a></div>
<p>Address and contacts are above and have already had back some great and very fast work done by him and a tailor that does what he says he will in the time he says he will and at a price which is right for the work is well worth shouting about. So wanted to offer you a great option to visit John and try out his very worthy services.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Just love this guys simple workman's look. Right in the street around the side alleys between Moulin Rouge and Guard du Nord. As a beard wearer I would always be a fan but the hat is intentional yet looks an after thought. It turns the look from just a worker in t-shirt and beard to something more.</p>

This says 38R but is suited for a chap who is between 6 foot and 6 foot 3 inches, 40 inch chest and with regular length arms. No heavier then 13-14 stone I would guess by the measurements. If thats you you may have a bargain as Canali are very beautifully made items and well worth spending at least £30 ($48) for shipping inc. is worth more but that price I suggest would I think be a 'Great Buy'.</p>

<p> I was scanning the streets around Covent Garden for peoples unique styles to photograph when I saw a stall with an outstanding use for recycling of old charity shop suits. </p>
<p>Step in the very savvy and elegantly dressed Edson Raupp at stall number 7 in Covent Garden Market who got the idea a while back to take old men's suits and turn those forgotten business relics and transfom them into some of the most glorious and ingenious carry items it for men and women to heft their personals around the city in style and luxury.</p>
<p><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">I asked Edson for some time to find out more about his business and the result is below.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/76413525@N03/9112526612/" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5522/9112526612_fdf544893c_c.jpg" id="blogsy-1372074251499.7468" class="aligncenter" width="500" height="747" alt=""></a></div>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>How did you get into the business?</strong></p>
<p>I have always made clothing and accessories for myself and when I first moved to London, in 1995, people would often comment favourably about my designs. In 1996 I started to make bags from jackets that I bought in charity shops which I then sold at Portobello Market. And later at Camden Market.</p>
<p><strong>How long have you been making Suitcase bags and what obstacles did you have to overcome?</strong></p>
<p>Over 16 years and I don’t feel that I had to overcome obstacles as such, rather that I realised that I would need to go through various stages to develop the designs and the business.</p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/76413525@N03/9112552686/" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7423/9112552686_207523acf4_c.jpg" id="blogsy-1372074251506.0356" class="aligncenter" width="500" height="747" alt=""></a></div>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>What is the process from collecting the suit, that you make the bags from, all the way through to selling the finished product?</strong></p>
<p>These days I don’t need to visit charity shops very often to buy jackets as almost all my jackets are supplied by Oxfam who specially select the jackets for me.</p>
<p>I then check each jacket for any damage, replace pockets and buttons where necessary and then clean them.</p>
<p>I cut each jacket into the various parts that will form the different bags.</p>
<p>I then make the pockets that will be sewn into the linings of the bags.</p>
<p>Next I assemble the straps.</p>
<p>I then select the various components of a bag – sometimes mixing the parts from different jackets.</p>
<p>Lastly I sew the various parts together adding linings, straps and labels.</p>
<p>For some bags I will add additional buttons and labels (makers’ labels taken from the jackets) as decoration.</p>

<p><strong>How many Suitcase bags do you make on average in a year?</strong></p>
<p>I cannot give you annual number of bags but the amount is limited because I make each one myself.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>What is your background in the fashion industry?</strong></p>
<p>When young I used to help my father will small tasks in his tailoring business and later I studied Fine Art at University. There I was involved in costume design for theatre groups. I also at that time designed and sold jewellery.</p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/76413525@N03/9112528426/" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5496/9112528426_43cbf0c2e5.jpg" id="blogsy-1372074251435.871" class="aligncenter" width="500" height="335" alt=""></a></div>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>What is your proudest moment of your career?</strong></p>
<p>I am most proud when I spot someone in the street wearing one of my bags.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>What advice do you have for designers starting a business from new?</strong></p>
<p>My advice to new designers;</p>
<p>Keep making changes (big and small) to your designs as there is always something that can be improved. I am lucky that my Suitcase Bag business alone is able to give me a living. However from time to time I take on various design work often unrelated to fashion. I imagine I will continue to make the bags (every year finding chances for small refinements to the designs) for as long as people want to wear them.</p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/76413525@N03/9112529218/" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3797/9112529218_08e3b74950_c.jpg" id="blogsy-1372074251525.686" class="aligncenter" width="500" height="747" alt=""></a></div>
<p> </p>
<p>I heartily recommend searching out the bags and Edson himself on stall number 7 in Covent Garden Market, London. And for the sake of courtesy mention that you heard of him through this post and see for yourself the incredible work he does on these artisan handmade suit bags. </p>
<p>The 'Suitcase' bags average around £45 which I think ridiculously good value considering you can pay hundreds for a machine made fashion bag with whom you will never have the pleasure of meeting the maker let alone the designer himself. </p>
<p>I myself have one of his bags. A fabulous yet understated grey mixed pattern creation that I have worn often since meeting Edson and want to thank him for his generous time in answering my questions. I look forward to seeing him again when my travels take me back past his stall. </p>

<p>I snapped this guy on my way through the winding back streets of Paris close to the nearly new Les Halles Park (still under constrcution as seen by photo below).

I have just spent two wonderful days on a trip to Paris and have a album the size of the Eiffel Tower itself of photos I took to upload on the Parisian style that I saw out there. Plenty of elegance and jaunty french 'je ne sais quoi'.<br />
Look forward to sharing them with you over the next few weeks.<br />

He has written an article that I think worth perusing but have never used before so cannot personally recommend their services or the quality of suggested sites he outlined in the article below. But I always appreciate quality and professionalism so wanted to post this for you to see what is available. Happy reading.</p>
<p>Daniel @ TGG</p>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><span class="s4"><br>
</span><span class="s4">"If</span><span class="s4"> you’ve invested a lot of money in a luxury watch there’s no worse experience than having it break. At such expense to purchase you’d hate to have to cast it aside as defunct, and then go out and spend thousands of pounds on a new one. Thankfully, that fate isn’t inevitable. The quality of the watch will undoubtedly dictate that any repairs will almost certainly be beyond your standard high street repair shop, but there are some fantastic places out there that specialise in the repair of luxury watches. Take a look at our blog to see </span><span class="s4">who’s</span><span class="s4"> best to help you.</span><span class="s4"><br>
</span><span class="s4"><br>
</span><span class="s3" style="font-weight: bold; ">TAG Heuer</span><span class="s3" style="font-weight: bold; "><br>
</span><span class="s4">Founded in Switzerland in 1860, and currently celebrating the 50</span><span class="s5" style="vertical-align: super; ">th</span><span class="s4"> year of its impressive Carrera collection, TAG Heuer is one of the leading luxury watch brands in the world. However, TAG Heuer watches are notoriously difficult to fix if they are damaged, particularly the inner mechanisms. As such, they require a highly qualified pair of hands to tend to them; it’s important to get it right first time. For that professionalism and delicate touch, check out </span><a href="http://www.martinsjewellers.co.uk/tag-heuer-watch-repairs"><span class="s4">Martins of Glasgow at </span><span class="s6">www.martinsjewellers.co.uk/tag-heuer-watch-repairs</span></a><span class="s4">, as they have many years experience in fixing TAG Heuer watches. What’s more they accept watches from all over the world, so no matter where you are they can fix it for you. </span><span class="s4"><br>
</span><span class="s4"><br>
</span><span class="s3" style="font-weight: bold; ">Rolex</span><span class="s3" style="font-weight: bold; "><br>
</span><span class="s4">One of the other big names in world watch making, Rolex, is perhaps one of the best known brands on the planet. The company was actually founded in London in 1905, but moved to Geneva, Switzerland in 1919, where it continues to operate today. The Rolex brand has become a by-product for status,</span><span class="s4">opulence and wealth. Based in Manchester, Perpetual-Time (</span><a href="http://www.perpetual-time.com/contact.html"><span class="s6">www.perpetual-time.com/contact.html</span></a><span class="s4">) offer excellent rates on Rolex repairs should your watch stop working, develop a crack, or become broken in any way. All their repairs also come with a 12 month guarantee, so you can be fully confident in the quality of the repair; it’ll be as if your watch was brand new all over again. </span><span class="s4"><br>
</span><span class="s4"><br>
</span><span class="s3" style="font-weight: bold; ">Omega</span><span class="s3" style="font-weight: bold; "><br>
</span><span class="s4">The first watch on the moon, the watch of choice for James Bond since 1995, and the official timekeeper of the Olympics since 1932, Omega can make some pretty big claims. </span><span class="s4">Babla’s</span><span class="s4">in London know the value and history of an Omega watch is an important factor when people choose to buy one, and so appreciate the care and precision required to repair one should it break. You can find them at </span><a href="http://www.bablas.co.uk/watch-repairs/omega-watch-repair"><span class="s6">www.bablas.co.uk/watch-repairs/omega-watch-repair</span></a><span class="s4">,</span><span class="s4"> and their 7 day service will have your watch back to you within the week. The Omega brand</span><span class="s4">might be the final word in watches, but a broken chronograph doesn’t have to signal the end of time for you or your watch. </span><span class="s4"><br>

Neck ties are varied, to the absurd in some cases, so knowing what is safe or good to wear for work is the hardest part of the morning dressing ritual?</p>
<p>I tend to prepare all my outfits for the next week during the weekend and spend 30 minutes working out and setting out what shirt, tie, suit combo I will wear that week in one day rather than rush for 10 minutes each morning whilst I'm feeling groggy and end up choosing the same old tie and cufflinks as my brain is still half numb from blissful sleep.</p>

<p> When starting your wardrobe begin with plain or subtle patterned navy or blue ties. That's as simple as I can make it. Don't buy big and bold patterns and colours as you can wear these once a week max. This includes those chaps who love those really over the top ties and wear them 4/5 days a week. They shouldn't and you shouldn't at first. Sort out the plains and subtle patterns first and then get to the bolder ties in the future. That way you only have to wear them 2/3 days a week max and have a multitude of looks.</p>

I've never personally bought anything yet from him but have seen his items go and seem to come with great photos and good information to boot. Drake's ties (especially a grenadine type weave) are at least £115 and this is under that at $100 inc. shipping so is approximately $80 under retail and won't go to that level.</p>

Ebay<p> These have 5 hours remaining and are still under £50 inc P&P. watch these for definitely as a size they will be snapped up but whether for a steal or for a bit more like their auction price should be. </p>
<p>Again, have no affiliation with seller, am just spotting things I would possibly buy. Always do your own due diligence and make sure of items yourself before you bid.</p>

Is Canali so is great quality and will fit trim around the chest I expect. </p>
<p>Sleeve length is normal and jacket length good for someone 5' 8" - 6' 0" MAX. </p>
<p>Only 3 hours to go and is only just over £30. Absolute steal if genuine.</p>
