Apparently the one place you can buy the book (Le Snob: Tailoring) in English now is in Australia. On the bookshelves and online. See comments on yesterday’s post for details.
Hey Shem - they are just the Art du Lin from Solbiati. We've covered it in the past, eg my Pirozzi here
Which colour of linen do I want?
Read the commentsYes, and leather
Sandals: Slides and huaraches, open-toe and closed
Read the commentsThanks Tim, and yes I agree, it's perfect for that. You can button a passport and phone or wallet inside the inbreast pockets and chuck it in an overhead cabin with no stress
Why machine-washable bespoke is unusual
Read the commentsNice! Let us know how you get on Jacob. We could get a group dyeing chat going on

You can find them @ Alibris.com……
Thank you for the update. I have cancelled my order from Amazon and ordered from Readings here in Melbourne (their website says they have it in stock). I am hoping it arrives before my first appointment with Tom at P Johnson Tailors. I really enjoy the website and am looking forward to the book.
Keep up the good work.
Regards,

As an emigre to Australia who always felt most comfortable in London in a pair of ox-blood brogues, three-piece and silk tie, I’ve really struggled with the Aussie office dress code. It seems to be open-neck shirt, suit trousers and black shoes. Anything more formal seems to be frowned upon as someone being ‘up themselves’. I gag on occasion.
Show us a third way. Please!
Stop complaining about aussie male fashion. Up until the early 80s the style of choice used to be business shirt, shorts and calf-high wool socks. And that was considered acceptable professional dress in many offices.
There’s a ‘third way’ for you!
Old post, yes. A great book though Simon – I am looking forward to your next. Any indication when it might hit the shelves?
P Johnson really are fantastic value in my opinion – they do not do bespoke however. That said, there can surely be no argument where it comes to the general standard of Australian clothing decisions – especially what passes for shoes there…
Hey,
Yes, the next book will be out in Spring next year. Published by Thames & Hudson.
And one or two other publishing projects lined up for next year too.
