After a long wait, we have got our new range of ties in the shop, and I am pleased to say that I think it has been worth the wait! The ties come in two different widths, eighteen different colours and have been hand-made in England. It has been a bit of a struggle because some of the tie-makers have recently gone out of business, but fortunately we have now found the right supplier.

Most of them are pure silk, but we have a handful of other fabrics as well. The picture below shows the small range of wool and cashmere ties that we have chosen. Sometimes the texture, depth and number of colours in a woollen tie cannot be beaten. Some of these ties have only been done in very limited runs, so you have to be quick!

In keeping with our philosophy we have used only the best materials and the ties have been hand made in England. We have thought long and hard about the ideal length and taper of the ties, and we feel that we have now got the shape of the tie right: it narrows nicely at the throat to give a smaller more compact knot that will sit nicely in a classic or a cutaway collar.

Good morning everyone – a quick post to remind readers that next week I will be in North America (Toronto, Vancouver, San Francisco and New York to be precise) and that there are still some free appointments. Even better news is that the exchange rate is hovering just over 1.5 (US$) and 1.55 (CAN$) and it may slide further.

This makes our prices, which are already free of sales tax, look very attractive:

Custom tailored Jacket: from US$690 or CAN$710

Bespoke Jacket: from US$1,900 or CAN$1,960

2 piece custom tailored suit: from US$1,020 or CAN$1,050

2 piece bespoke suit: from US$2,520 or CAN$2,610

3 piece bespoke suit: from US$3,015 or CAN$3,115

Custom tailored shirt: from US$170 or CAN$180

Bespoke shirt: from US$290 or CAN$300

Of course, any major fluctuations in the exchange rates may have to be taken into account once I am over the Atlantic. In addition, these prices include a 10% introductory discount because we believe in introducing all our customers, and especially our younger customers, to the traditional Savile Row standards of excellence, service, comfort and fit.

We hope that this will go some way to reversing the current shopping trends and to return to an age where choice, anticipation and personal service define the whole experience. The strong dollar means that this is an excellent time to sample Savile Row quality for less!
