Clothes maketh the (Mad) Man.

I've been thinking for a while that I should get myself a suit made. But by whom, I wonder? Armani Bespoke? Brioni? Or one of the Saville row people, perhaps?

And then I come across this.

Two grand for the entire suit, hand made and tailored? Looks like a bargain to me.

You'd be guaranteed to put a smile on everyone's face!

Are they the ones who got shouted at a few years ago when they produced a catalogue displaying their suits worn by down-and-outs?

Why for that price you could get a wallet made of Human leather (http://www.humanleather.co.uk).

A hoax, one suspects.

The City has tailors that do superb bespoke suits at about a quarter of the price of Savile Row.

I will be happy to recommend one.

It's one of the things I'll be looking into once I've got a decent enough slice of loot together. Right now my spondoolicks are in risky oil exporation stocks so if they come good I'll be in touch, cheers.

Why not get a M&S suit and spend the rest on a long holiday?

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

Crikey, you can get decent holidays for fifteen hundred nicker these days?

[ditzy-pole.livejournal.com]

Define decent.

Drat Davy, you're just a wee bit short.

Ten grand a week? Maybe next year, eh?

I'd have thought you'd be dashing to one of these.

For two grand, go to Shanghai, get your suits at the Soft Spinning Market, and have a vacation while you wait.
