Of course, you may have to wait for 25 years or so before you get any pleasure at all from those GC's Nigel, at least if the 2015s turn out like some 1990 GCs.
She can make a suit for me - but I'm afraid all my GCs would be 2005sAn interesting benchmark (assuming one's spending is disposable income) was a recent discussion with a tailor friend. 18 bts of basically any 2015 GC vs one of her suits which should last as long and (one would hope) give pleasure on more than 18 occasions.
We are talking top end Savile Row.Must be missing something there. 18 bottles of 2015 Burgundy GC is the same price as one of her suits ? Bloody hell. Expensive suits then.
Cannot think of any half decent GC at less than £100 plus per bottle
Are suits tax deductible Tom ?
You learn something every day
Perhaps I should sell a case or two of older GC and buy a top-end suit for the first time ever. I may have reached the right age!We are talking top end Savile Row.
They may be for Thom (as a costume) but not for most of us!

No - Antonia Ede - ex Huntsman and now trading as Montague Ede on Brewer St.So is this Kathryn Sargent?
Most GCs look to be over 600 per 6 no?A bespoke suit for £1500 is a steal if it's done well. If you factor in 2 to 3 or even 4 fittings and the cost of the fabrics as well as the 400-60 hours to make it the profit margins are perfectly reasonable (voluminously I'd bet!) in comparison to GC Burgundy.

Apologies I misread, and thought the ref was 15 £100 GC bottles! It did seem rather cheap when I thought about it!There aren't many (decent) tailors offering bespoke at 1500 well done or not!
as KS was the first woman on Saville Row, and as far as I know still the only female head on the street, you know you will get something special.
Sadly I couldn't agree more, Keith.At present prices think it is nuts to buy GC or most PC burgundy
The shock wave is even now reverberating through the market. If this news doesn't cause prices to fall, nothing will.Back to topic. At present prices think it is nuts to buy GC or most PC burgundy and I have stopped buying for at least a year .
