The blog entitled English Cut, is written by Thomas Mahon a Savile row tailor, (london).
The blog gives you the vocabulary to speak with tailors and understand their language. As well, you will get an idea of how these craftsmen do their work.
Mahon is very direct about the differences between what he does and off-the-rack crap that tends to cost allot more.
This guy sets out his standards for friends and tailors.
1. They have to be the best you can buy. World-class quality, without any doubt whatsoever.
2. They have to offer value for money, at the price point they're selling at. Cheap designer rubbish is not welcome.
3. They have to make their products in the United Kingdom, whenever possible.
4. We have to know them well, and like them as people. They have to be good souls with the proper attitude.
His also an advocate of the white shirt company -- a great sources of wonderful shirts. Their advertising appears to be aimed directly at men like me. I thought I was the only guy that like seeing a pretty woman barely clad in one of his dress shirts. Michelle Doherty (above) fits a pattern.
I suspect I am not that unique.
