The St. James collection from Swaine Adeney Brigg

The English luggage company has been supplying the Royal Family with leather goods since the early 1800s—and in the best British tradition, not all that much has changed since then. Until six months ago, that is, when the fusty firm brought in Dominic Laurelli—former accessories designer for Alexander McQueen—to breathe new life into the brand. His first collection, called the St. James, debuts later this month, and is modeled on vintage accessories from the twenties. Made of durable, water-resistant tweedlike fabric with leather trim, each piece is handmade by a single craftsman—no two are exactly alike. No word on a price, but expect to pay accordingly later this month when the handsome line—pictured here for the first time—goes on sale at the brand's London digs.

Paul Smith and Savile row what a cocktail. Not only for the high quality standards but also the price (should be way up there).

Would be great to know in a thorough survey who is their preferred tailor?

Here is an article about the differences between bespoke and made to measure. [url]http://www.tailorinstyle.com/the-differences-between-bespoke-and-made-to-measure-dress-shirts/[/url]
