    Pretty much in the same vein as Deisel Style Lab then? (i.e higher quality and finished to perfection?)
    Don't know about Diesel, but yeah the shoes are about two to three times what you pay in a department store. Hand stitched usually. Different materials.

          The seemed reasonable for a tailored suit to me.
          Found a prticularly nice shirt in there once that I wanted to wear for a friends wedding the next day. Problem was the only shirt they had didnt fit me. As it was too large they fitted in the shop then scootered it round to their tailor while the wife and I went for coffee. No extra charge.
          I am not qualified to give the above advice!

          Step back, have a think and adjust my own own attitude from time to time

              Unfortunately, if you have a thick neck, they assume the rest of your proportions are elephantine.

              I prefer Hawes & Curtis for off the shelf shirts, better fit for me and good enough service. They will even iron it for you if you want to wear it there and then (don't ask).

                Handy if you're the Hulk.
                I'm better than dirt. Well, most kinds of dirt, not that fancy store-bought dirt... I can't compete with that stuff.

                  I said Don't Ask.

                  You wouldn't want to make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.

                    Would your tailor stitch one of these to a suit?

                      I remember walking into an M&S in Hong Kong, the staff were ironing the stock (shirts & trousers that were on display like), could you imagine such a sight in the UK?!
