The English Gentleman at Lord's

And a few images of the bespoke tailoring we contributed to The English Gentleman at Lord's, Savile Row's spectacular contribution to London Collections: Men.

Have quite so many bespoke Savile Row suits and tailored garments been seen before in one place? (Save for Savile Row, of course.)

The LC:M Richard James BMW 3.0 CSL Batmobile makes for Savile Row. Look out for it around town on Monday, the day of our Spring/Summer '14 LC:M show.

The paint job is based on our S/S '14 shifting colours 'phase' print which you'll find on shirts, pocket squares and swimwear.

Marie Madeline - Richard James Savile Row tailor

There's something of the Spring/Summer '14 'Sundown' collection that we're showing at London Collections: Men on Monday about this. Just a little something.

Guy Gadbois demonstrates what a devastating impression a bold jacket can make when worn with confidence

The Return of the Pink Panther

Inspector Jacques Clouseau (an inimitable Peter Sellers) of the Sûreté (naturellement) returns to the screen after a gap of ten years in The Return of the Pink Panther (1975; Blake Edwards) and quickly demonstrates that he has lost nothing of his instinctive feel for a fiasco.

The fabled and famously weighty Pink Panther diamond disappears from the National Museum of Lugash and is replaced by a white glove monogrammed in gold with the letter 'P'. Who could it be? Naturally, the finger of suspicion is pointed at the diamond thief's diamond thief Sir Charles Lytton, aka The Phantom, who has serious form.

But Clouseau is not a man to be thrown off the scent by the obvious and so sets out to bumble his way to the bottom of things, employing a series of masterfully inept disguises along the way. Here (above) he is hard on the tail of Lady Lytton (a clearly amused Catherine Schell) in the guise of ladies' man Guy Gadbois, demonstrating just what a devastating impression a bold, stand-out jacket can make when worn with confidence.

It's a wrap.

The green 'paint job' is actually applied to the car by wrapping it in transfers. And the next step is the Richard James Savile Row logo.

Look out for it around town next Monday, the day of the show.
