What's the deal with this London Lounge, anyway?

Do tell....who is this tailor?

His name is Alan Rouleau. He is one of the few tailors I have found who still make a bench tailored suit, but it does come at a premium. He also does custom leathers for those with an interest. Alan also searches for ties and other accessories to sell to his customers and is quite particular about what he displays in his shop. On the wall above the door and closets are some wonderful 19th men's fashion prints...

I have never found a leather, suede or shearling coat that I like and that fits properly. With the winter finally here in Boston, I have been thinking about having one made with this year's bonus. But first things first - I just spoke with Art Fawcett about a custom hat. Something along the lines of his Jazzman...

BTW - to keep things on topic. I did return to the London Lounge and register. I think there is a lot to recommend and they have a somewhat different focus which gives us the opportunity to learn about style, bespoke tailoring and textiles from a new point of view.

I may apply, but in clipped, Papa-prose style. Writing like that is good for you.

 

[Fletch]

I got in. More later.

I'd quote Groucho here, but we all know the quote.

 

[MikeBravo]

Ooo, I sense secrets lurking...the kind of cautious confidentiality you'll find surrounding many arcane trades, which eventually becomes part of their mystique, whether there are actual secrets that need protecting or not. The code of the closed-mouthed craftsman who either trains one protegé or prefers that his craft die with him.

Like I said...ooo.

Be mindful young padawan

I occasionally drop in the LL, and pitched Chicago's finest
barbershop: Truefitt & Hill Barbers to British Royalty since 1805.

 

[Tomasso]

I got in.

Yes, but you won't have access to the entire MB. [huh] After a bit, if you're a good sort, you can contact Mr. Alden and ask to have the restriction lifted. Think of it as a probationary period.

I saw the name of the thread and I was hoping for a Seinfeldian observational joke. Instead I find this conspiracy theory about the London Lounge Cabal and how it has its tentacles in every segment of society and how one day we'll all wake up and realize it's got us all by the short hairs and there isn't a thing we can do about it.

What a letdown.

Dapper Dan knows too much, inform the High Brummel!

...So how did you like Casino Royale?
