Please contact me if you would like to meet me whilst I am down South.

I clear my wardrobe out several times a year getting rid of any bespoke suits, bespoke jackets and bespoke trousers I don't wear very much or just don't like any more.
I also get rid of shirts and ties at the same time and anything else I want rid of.
I always give my friends first pick of my jackets and suits, be it for them or anyone they may know, same with the ties, free of charge.
Anything left then goes to the charity bin.
More often than not most of the stuff is brand new and never been worn, or worn only once or twice.
I know it seems a waste, but at least someone else will get a good wear out of something even if I don't, which is much better than garments sitting in my wardrobe doing nothing.
The picture below shows the latest lot for the charity bin, which includes a jacket I recently finished for myself after being on the go for almost a couple of years!
The fact is when I wore the jacket, only the once to see a client, I just didn't like it any more.
Anyway, there is the bespoke checked jacket, one black bespoke chalk stripe suit, three new shirts I just haven't worn and four silk ties.
All these items including the bespoke suit and jacket went in the local charity shop bin.
