When I've been there with him, the service has been strong on the personal touch, knowledgable and informed. It's an old-school name, but the designs look sharp and contemporary. Kinda classic-contemporary with a twist, a bit like Paul Smith but more affordable. I've been in the shop when some well-known footballer (sorry, I forget who, not my subject area!) was trying on his bespoke wedding suit, and he looked AMAZING in it.

Their bespoke suits aren't quite bespoke though, you pick a style and a material and they just make it in your size. Where I went -Pal Zileri- you got to say how many buttons you wanted, how many pockets, where you wanted the vents... None of that really matters though. Definitely take C with you though.<br><br>As for rings, I would suggest platinum. We were going to go with titanium but were warned against it by a rather good jeweller. The reasons being a) it's more likely to go out of fashion b) it's so hard that if your finger gets caught in an accident, they have to cut your finger off rather than snip the ring... That sold me on a nice soft precious metal!Stefhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16723338929365683113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1750120863647373520.post-58210420394157228982007-04-11T00:10:00.000+01:002007-04-11T00:10:00.000+01:00An indestructable ring you say?

Anthony from Empire Tailors in Honk Kong does fabulous work, and due to an incredible coincidence, he will be in the U.K, measuring people during the next few weeks. My co- workers and I have used him for years, and really are happy with his work, and is reasonably priced, in fact I just got 4 shirts delivered yesterday. He does a great job on suits as well. I will e-mail you the message I got from him, and feel free to contact him. Good luck.Cody Boneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12743998050700202712noreply@blogger.com
