Top quality from Plauen, Saxony – at a reasonable price.

This fine lace handkerchief has a 1950's-style floral filigree pattern in one corner. We've had it made for us by Schweigert, the traditional weaving firm in Saxony.

From head to toe.

In this chapter you will find a range of high-quality clothing - not high-fashion, but not unfashionable either - simply timeless clothing far removed from and unaffected by short-lived trends. Our first concern here is always the fabric and its quality. Our methods are always the same: we look for the »classic« fabric for each item of clothing, then we find the best British or continental manufacturer of that fabric, and finally the most skilful clothing manufacturer. In other words, we are trying to reintroduce more British and European content into our clothing range - as opposed to the current trends in the industry, trends which we think have not only undermined quality but have virtually wiped out a sector of industry which has shaped so much of our industrial and cultural history.
