Well, you asked for more pictures… First, the speakers.
Yes there are lots of nice ones around - usually in other stores, rather than glove specialists. Budd are great, so are Anderson & Sheppard, and Trunk have some good ones too.

Read the commentsSure Ben. I'd say it feels very luxurious, Begg using amazing quality of cashmere. It's pretty warm as the cashmere is quite thick with the ribbing, and I probably prefer it to the Yacht model as it has that cable detail that sets it apart…

Hi Simon,
Thanks for posting these pics. It also helps to put faces on well known names!

Hi Simon. Great article as usual. Two questions.
1. How can you afford bespoke?
2. How can I dress well with (MTM or bespoke) on a budget?
1. Partly, I’m fairly well into my career and earn decent money now – I couldn’t have afforded anywhere near as much 10 years ago. And partly, prioritisation. I know people (particularly women) who buy even more clothing than me, but all cheap, and it doesn’t last. I also don’t really have expensive tastes in anything else.
2. Save up and buy quality, buy conservative styles that will last, and have a read of posts like ‘make a cheap suit look good‘
