Also in Shopping.

The house is known for a full cut, a three-button turnback cuff and its own woven cottons, and it makes bespoke shirts in a workroom above the shop - a bespoke order starts at a dozen. Churchill's siren suits were made here; so were Sean Connery's shirts as Bond.

The shop itself is worth the visit for the tie wall alone, which runs the length of the room.
