another in the long line of threads about people that I think are a genuis (see also Sid Waddell). Maker of fine clothes, collector of tat, perhaps Britain's greatest fashion export (at least to the far East). I think he's great. And his book is lovely, right down to the cute little magnifying glass you get with it.

Pedestrian shirt maker, The cut of his suits is very conventional, in a Burton kind of way.

He's got a very dull name though, hans't he?

well I think they are lovely, classic tailoring. and not conventional at all, the stripes inside the cuffs of his current shirts are grebt.

I never realised he was responsible for the popularity of the filofax in the eighties though.

Yes Nick, a very dull name, but then so have I.

He also drew some pleasant looking though dull old New X-Men comics years ago.

three years pass...

I'm still debating about the cut of his suits, although I just bought one. The jackets seem to be too long on purpose, but, you know, nice attention to details and all.
