	Fashion file Note that many of the following sites, being fashion oriented, are afflicted with the curse of Flash and can be a right pain to view
Traditional City tailoring Dege & Skinner - Savile Row tailoring TM Lewin - my favourite shirt maker, also does matching ties and cufflinks, and some branches now do suits, socks, etc. Several outlets around town and mail order Thomas Pink - shirt maker and matching accessories, several outlets Ozwald Boateng - high fashion bespoke tailoring with catwalk aspirations near Savile Row Kilgour French Stanbury - more Savile Row tailoring Richard James - tailoring Tim Little - shoemaker on the King's Road Hackett - essential British kit Philip L Lyons - craftsmen - ladies' and gents' tailors for bespoke custom made suits in London James & James - bespoke suits from Savile Row Henry Poole & Co - maker of bespoke suits from Savile Row, home of London's fine tailoring, since 1806 40 Savile Row - tailor and shirtmaker Charles Tyrwhit - city shirts and cufflinks - apparently on permanent sale Shoes International - stockists of a range of British and international shoes, including Grenson (a pair that I bought in 1982 are still very wearable). Not sure how you go about ensuring a proper fit over the internet, though Fashion R Soles - kickin' cool cowboy boots on the King's Road Nastidesigns - t-shirts with tart art from telephone boxes Kenneth Cole - outlets on the King's Road and Sloane Street French Connection - outlets fcuking everywhere, but one of my favourite places Duffer of St George - a past favourite but went a bit clubby for my taste (you might say I grew up) Next - high street retailer and mail order Nicole Farhi - outlet in Sloane Street as well as concessions in major department stores Paul Smith - sexy, modern British design, main outlet in Floral Street, Covent Garden Reiss - I've always thought clothes here were non-descript. Don't know why Shelly's - high street shoe chain. Used to be famous for trendy styles done cheap, but same price as elsewhere now Cecil Gee - high street menswear retailer, includes Moss Bros and Blazer brands also with own store chains Carhartt - London branch of this US retailer is in Covent Garden Diesel - trendy togs, flagship store in Covent Garden, also on King's Road Jones - alas, though this high price high fashion temple in Covent Garden has been around for ages, the website is still coming soon Maharishi - mens and womens wear and what seems to be artwork, but not much in the way of photos of clothes Office - shoes galore in this high street chain Burton menswear - national chain dragging itself away from its deeply unfashionable roots Ted Baker - more trendy clobber. Stores in Covent Garden and King's Road Top Man - chain with some interesting lines. Large store at Oxford Circus Marks & Spencer - said to be the most popular stores in the UK for underwear. Flagship store near Marble Arch, and now food stores nearly everywhere
