When was the last time there was a shop opening on Savile Row to get excited about? One making to the same standard as the great tailors already there?
Exactly. Reason enough to shout about the new Gaziano & Girling shop, which had an informal opening party on Friday. Plus it’s Tony and Dean, which makes two more big reasons.
The shop itself is lovely: classic but sophisticated, a perfect balance between the stuffier tailors and brash luxury of Berluti et al. It’s great to see the rows of G&G boxes, the new shoe trees (both for bespoke and RTW) and – most of all – all the G&G models in one place, beautifully displayed.

A very long awaited opening!
Well done, Tony and Dean!
Which make of flannel is this Simon and which exact color?
Fox. I can check with A&S what code
Thanks, is this the same colour which you would use for odd flannel trousers in grey? Also, do you have any experience with Minnis flannel?
Yes, I think that would be the best place to start.
And yes, I’ve used Minnis flannel before, it’s very nice.
As I’ve explained a little elsewhere on this site, there really is very little difference between such cloths. Particularly English bunches, as they are usually finished and often woven in the same places. The biggest substantial difference is the finished that is applied – you can feel that in the material, but most houses are very conservative and finish in the same way.
