Simon,
Thank you for a very interesting article. The world of bespoke is very confusing and this Paris tour was very helpful. I plan on keeping this article and using the same tour when I go to Paris. What would also be useful to your readers is if you would take the same idea and make a tour of Italy.
Your beautiful photos conjure memorable prose: “The French term for window shopping is ‘leche-vitrines’–licking the plate glass. This requires perfect leisure, and our breakfast had used up most of the morning. Still we did linger over displays of socks and neckties and made-to-order shirts.” – Saul Bellow, “Ravelstein”
