Turnbull & Asser bargain find

A new shop has opened close to me called 'Good as New' and they sell second hand high end clothing that is as good-as-new. I had a look yesterday and bagged a fantastic Turnbull & Asser 50oz English Silk twill tie that was in absolutely perfect condition (not surprising for something of such high quality). The best thing about it? It was just £5!
I now have to get a couple of new bespoke shirts to go with it...
Turnull & Asser are , of course, famous for their bespoke shirts, but believe me, their ties are also worthy of great acclaim.

An unlikely sartorial experience

I was in TK Maxx in Birmingham today, because my wife wanted to look around, so i decided to look at the menswear department, not really expecting to find much. Well i was surprised to say the least.

I came out sartorially richer. I bought a beautiful Pringle short sleeve sweater for about £15, a Hacket "City Collar" Burgundy Bini gingham shirt (half retail price) and two fantastic William Hunt of Savile Row ties, normally £85 from their store, £9.99 each from TK Maxx.

They even have some reasonable suits and trousers, although not in the same league as Made to Measure Suits of course, but you get them at a great discount from the RRP.

They also have a good range of shirts including, of course Hacket and also Haines and Bonner. I may sell Bespoke Shirts, but that has never stopped me buying nice shirts when I see them.

If you are on a budget then this is a great place to get off-the-peg stuff, ideal to match up with your Sartorial Executive Made to Measure Suit.
