<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Sadly over here in the UK many of us mourn the passing of two British
Icons, within a few weeks of each other. Both of whom
were instrumental in the start of two Savile Row Firms.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />

<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Priscilla Maria Veronica White or better known to us all as
“Cilla”.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

first came on to the scenes at the age of 20. Cilla White was the name starting
to lift off; but Cilla's Producers had a better idea. They decided she
needed a better stage name just before her career was about to really lift
off and they ended up changing her surname from "White" to
"Black, "Cilla White" was now "Cilla Black" and that
was the spark of what would become a wonderful career.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Cilla, championed by her friends the Beatles, began her career as a
singer in 1963, and her singles "Anyone Who Had a Heart" and
"You're My World" both reached number one in the UK in 1964.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Apart from her glittering career, she was instrumental in the opening of
“Nutters” on Savile Row on the 14</span><sup>th</sup><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> February 1969 and
along with her beloved “Bobby” (who shortly after became her husband)
and Peter Brown an American-based English businessman who helped
found and serve as a board member of Apple Corps, assuming Epstein's
duties after the manager's death.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Sadly, Tommy Nutter is no longer with us but Edward
Sexton who started with Tommy, is still going strong with
a thriving business.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">They all put up around £5000 to help start the venture, which shook up
the “Row” with their sharp shoulders, generous wide lapels and the fact they
were the first tailors in the Row to have a dressed window with a jacket on a
Mannequin.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Steed in Sin City?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This Saturday, May 2nd marks the day of one of the biggest
boxing fights of all time! Mayweather Vs Pacquiao. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Avid Boxing fans have been waiting years for this fight and
it is finally here, live in Las Vegas, Nevada!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Everyone here at Steed will be forking our for this
Pay-Per-View event which starts at 4am UK time. Possibly complimented by a few
beers…<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We will also be looking out for our friend, client and
Former World Middleweight Champion, Darren Barker who will be wearing a Steed
suit whilst working as a pundit covering the fight. Over a coffee last week he
gave us his prediction of a draw. Stating that there is too much money to be
made by all parties for there not to be a re-match plus the fact it’s just too
close to call. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’m actually one of the few who are in Floyd’s camp whilst
also predicting a 11th round TKO win for Floyd. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Anyway, with all of the extensive coverage of this showcase,
with Las Vegas once again being the backdrop, coupled with our few days of fun
there for Dad’s (Edwin’s) birthday before we started our February trip, we’re
considering the idea of introducing a stop in Las Vegas during our October
trip.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
However to take the plunge, just like when we added San
Francisco to our full time schedule back in 2013, we would need to first gauge
the interest in adding a 7th city to our itinerary. Then weigh up if it is
viable and makes good business sense. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The idea is to go from San Francisco to Las Vegas, have a
couple of days fun followed by a day of work and seeing any perspective clients
before then heading on to Nashville. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dad and I currently visit 6 cities in 16 days with only 1
day of respite so it would be nice to add a couple of days of fun in “Sin City”
whilst being able to expand our U.S client base further. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you are local to Las Vegas or a nearby city and are
interested in what we have to offer, please get in touch with us via
matthew@steed.co.uk <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We would appreciate it if people could contact us in the
near future so we can make a decision by August.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Enjoy the fight on Saturday! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Cheers,<o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="border: 0px; font-family: 'Gill Sans MT', 'Gill Sans', Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="background-color: white;">Charlie Casey, Cousin to myself, Chris and also Nephew to Edwin has joined us here at Steed just a few weeks ago. Charlie has come on board with every interest of learning all about the "Savile Row Tailoring world." </span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: 'Gill Sans MT', 'Gill Sans', Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Charlie has A-Levels in ICT and Business but chose not to attend University but to delve straight into the big wide world and start working. He's held other jobs which most recently included being a labourer for London construction firm so he certainly isn’t afraid of hard graft! However none of the jobs before really caught his eye or captured his imagination quite like what we do here at Steed.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: 'Gill Sans MT', 'Gill Sans', Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Charlie is eager to learn the tailoring side of the firm and is currently learning under Matthew about the “Front of House” side of things in terms of learning all about the fabrics we deal with and most importantly our Steed House Style which sets up apart from the rest of "The Row". Whilst learning from Edwin and Matthew’s tailoring expertise and experience he is putting that into practise by learning to start to trim jobs up along with my brother Chris before then moving on to trouser pattern cutting with Matthew.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: 'Gill Sans MT', 'Gill Sans', Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Along with that side of things he is also interested in helping Steed to grow both here in the UK and abroad with his valuable knowledge of social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, tumblr, Pinterest etc. As we look to grow our social media interaction to bring everyone closer to the action, so to speak. </span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: 'Gill Sans MT', 'Gill Sans', Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: white;">All in all it's great to have another close family member come on board with us which we hope reflects the way in which we like to do business with our customers. In a friendly, inviting and informal way to put everyone at ease. As exasperating as it can occasionally be working alongside your Father, Brother and now Cousin I really wouldn't have it any other way. </span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: 'Gill Sans MT', 'Gill Sans', Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Cheers,</span></div>

Mixing Brown and Blue is always something I have been a great advocate of, for a couple of reasons.<br />
<br />
Firstly, I think it promotes a more modern smart-casual look rather than the occasionally stiff, blue business suit look. I think it can even change the way you approach things that day as well, in terms of altering your mindset in a positive way.<br />
<br />
For example if you had a job interview or a big meeting and you turned up wearing the traditional blue business suit, with standard black brogues, your going to blend in more with other interviewees or other people that are included in the meeting, which isn't exactly what you want.<br />
<br />
You want to stand out in the crowd but not in a brash sort of way but I honestly do think that the way you dress can alter, to a small extent your mind set for that day and the way you approach things.<br />
<br />
Maybe this is just me being slightly weird and perhaps this doesn't go for anyone else but I feel that if you were to compare the difference in a strict blue business suit with a standard black pair of brogues, you would find your self acting in a more robotic manner and approaching the daily tasks in a more structured way.<br />
<br />
Now don't get me wrong, this isn't necessarily a bad thing and probably better for most days of the week but if you where heading into a big meeting or interview, like previously mentioned I would want to change things up a little from the average day and come in with a more positive and free flowing attitude towards to the tasks ahead that day. This is where doing something as simple as mixing brown and blue together can help, in my opinion anyway.<br />
<br />
I honestly think that the way you dress influences both the way others perceive you and their attitude towards you and more importantly your own perception of yourself as well as altering your confidence.<br />
<br />
For example, whenever I wear one of my<a href="http://www.steed.co.uk/en/home/" target="_blank"> Steed</a> suits, I automatically and subconsciously stand a little taller, walk more confidently and approach the day in a more positive and exuberant manner. Compared to days when I am just in a pair of jeans, a t-shirt and some trainers where you look no different to 90% of the others around you. When dressed like this I tend to be more reserved, even for a pretty confident and outgoing person. I guess because I am blending in more with the crowd. It's a strange one...<br />
<br />
Though as I was saying, the way you dress definitely changes the way others perceive you as well, for example there was an upmarket store here in Carlisle that I never actually shopped in but I often use to cut through, to get to another street. For one it was nice and warm inside plus it was much shorter than walking around the large building to get to where I was going.<br />
<br />
Now, whenever I would walk through there wearing just my plain clothes I would never once be approached by any of the staff asking me if I would like any help etc. Now this is a good thing for me usually as I hate being pestered when shopping anyway.<br />
<br />
However, every single time I would walk through the store in my suit, I would always be greeted by a number of the staff with, "Hello Sir, may I help you Sir? How is your day Sir?" Even though it was quite obvious that I was just being cheeky by using the store as a cut through, they clearly saw me in a smart suit and thought I would be interested in purchasing the expensive offerings in their fancy store.<br />
<br />
I would always be polite and decline as I made my way through to get to my destination but it would always make me laugh but also a little miffed that I wasn't approached or greeted in the same way when wearing my normal clothes, sometimes even as soon as the day before, as they obviously would look at me and assume that I couldn't afford anything they had to offer so wouldn't waste their time with me. (Cue <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nu3x5SZrMHo" target="_blank">Pretty woman</a> scene) I could of been a Millionaire for all they knew..if only I was! Though it just goes to show the change in perception by others based on the way you dress and act. The old adage "Never judge a book by it's cover" comes to mind...<br />
<br />
Anyway....back to my main point...<br />
<br />
It is going slightly against the grain in terms of traditional rules of business dress by combining blue and brown, for example the old saying of "Never Wear Brown in Town". Therefore you may be inclined to do the same in your head. It may convince you to be more adventurous in your ideas, more exuberant in your general approach and more confident in your judgements and decisions throughout the day by doing the same in your dress.<br />
<br />
Another reason I like to mix brown and blue is the flexibility that it can bring. There are a few examples in the gallery above.<br />
<br />
For instance, one of my own Steed Bespoke suits is a Blue Birdseye from Dugdale's (F1814). Now I chose to go with nice brown horn buttons on both the jacket and waistcoat for a couple of reasons.<br />
<br />
One, I just much prefer wearing brown shoes, whether it be brown brogues or brown suede or leather boots. It's quite rare that I wear black shoes at all really so the brown buttons complement the shoes.<br />
Then secondly it makes my 3-Piece suit much more flexible as I often, like today, wear the jacket as a blazer with grey flannels or sometimes with jeans for a more relaxed look & feel, yet still looking smart and ready for business.<br />
<br />
I also like to wear the waistcoat as an odd waistcoat, sometimes on nights out with friends where I can partner it with a crisp white shirt and roll up the sleeves for a smart casual look which has become more popular due to hit <a href="http://www.cbs.com/" target="_blank">CBS</a> TV show <a href="http://www.cbs.com/shows/the_mentalist/" target="_blank">The Mentalist</a>, in which <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0048932/" target="_blank">Simon Baker</a>, who plays the lead role of <a href="http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0114428/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_1" target="_blank">Patrick Jane</a> often dons this look. So by having the brown horn buttons on waistcoat as well it again promotes a more smart casual feeling.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.steed.co.uk/image/uploads/images/photo-of-patrick-jane.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.steed.co.uk/image/uploads/images/photo-of-patrick-jane.jpg" height="320" width="213" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.steed.co.uk/image/uploads/images/the-mentalist.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.steed.co.uk/image/uploads/images/the-mentalist.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
However even with the brown buttons on the blue suit when worn as a 2 or 3-piece suit, I think you will agree it is still very smart and functional for serious business as well as more casual affairs.<br />
<br />
So basically by doing this it turns my 3-Piece suit in to an extra blazer and extra waistcoat which is great for me due to the distinct lack of bespoke garments in my wardrobe...the story of The Cobblers Son With No Shoes, comes to mind..<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />

<br />
This kind of jacket is constructed with hand stitching of the canvas to the fabric instead of the application of thermal fusing (internlining).<br />
<br />
The main advantage of this, is the weight of the jacket is reduced and has a softer and more supple feel, increasing comfort and providing a better fit.<br />
<br />
This new line will come at and additional cost of £250 (email for price-lists) and will debut on our upcoming trip to The States.<br />

First of all I must apologise to our customers and readers about the lack of articles here on our blog, Steed's View.<br />
<br />
This in part, has been down to our very hectic schedule of late, with Dad and I recently returning from our July trip to The States, which was our third trip this year and I am very pleased to say that the last two in particular have been our best ever.<br />
<br />
However now we are back home I will be making a concerted effort to post articles as regularly as I can.<br />
With this being said, I am also starting to really get to grips with three of the larger social media platforms.<br />
<br />
I have been using <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Steed-Bespoke-Tailors/33957779948" target="_blank">Facebook,</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/SteedTailors" target="_blank">Twitter</a> &<a href="http://instagram.com/steedtailors" target="_blank"> Instagram</a> on a personal level for a number of years now but it has been in the last 12 months or so where I have come to realise the high importance of these modern social platforms to stay in touch with and build great working friendships with our fantastic customers.<br />
I think what we do really well here at Steed is being very open with our customers and potential customers by giving a great insight and behind the scenes access into what goes on at a Savile Row Tailors.<br />
<br />
There maybe some reluctance from some of the older firms on "The Row" to give this insight but I think it is very important and exciting for our customers to see the effort and artistry that goes into making bespoke clothes.<br />
<br />
This all started with the launch of our new website and being the first ever Bespoke Tailors to offer a <a href="http://www.steed.co.uk/en/members/" target="_blank">"Bespoke Customer Login"</a>, which most of you will know gives access to bespoke clients, to be able to witness their clothes being made in a time-line format, with photos and descriptions so they can see the progression of their suits etc. As time goes by, I am developing this feature to give a more in-depth look.<br />
Now for those of you that are currently active users of<a href="http://instagram.com/steedtailors" target="_blank"> Instagram</a>, I have recently started to use our Steed Instagram account much more over the last week or so. I have begun posting a couple of photos a day, which show a great little insight into everyday life here at Steed.<br />
<br />
We have actually seen a great response in this last week by going from just 80 followers to over 1300 followers in a week and I am sure that the more we post the more our following will grow.<br />
<br />
For those of you that have not heard of or know little about Instagram, here is a brief description below:<br />
<br />
<strong>"Instagram is an online photo-sharing, video-sharing and social networking service that enables its users to take pictures and videos, apply digital filters to them, and share them on a variety of social networking services, such as Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Flickr. A distinctive feature is that it confines photos to a square shape, similar to Kodak Instamatic and Polaroid images, in contrast to the 16:9 aspect ratio now typically used by mobile device cameras.</strong><br />
<strong><br /></strong>
<strong>Instagram was created by Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger and launched in October 2010. The service rapidly gained popularity, with over 100 million active users as of April 2012. Instagram is distributed through the Apple App Store and Google Play. Originally a purely photo-sharing service, Instagram incorporated video sharing in June 2013, allowing its users to record and share videos lasting for up to 15 seconds."</strong><br />
<strong><br /></strong>
We will also be looking to use the new video feature on Instagram to give even more insight, behind the scenes<br />
here at Steed.<br />
<h1>
Instagram User Name: STEEDTAILORS</h1>
<strong>http://instagram.com/steedtailors</strong><br />
<strong><br /></strong>
To find us on Instagram just search for this username and we should pop up for you to then follow if you are also a user of the service.<br />
<br />
I hope you all enjoy our posts.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
After months in the works we are very close to the re-launch of our main website <a href="http://steed.co.uk/">steed.co.uk</a><br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.steed.co.uk/" target="_blank">Steed</a> where actually the very first tailors on Savile Row to have their own website way back in the 90's, when unlike America, the internet in the UK was still in it's infancy.<br />
<br />
The idea of creating a website for the company was introduced to us by my father-in-law who was always into computers and new technology since his retirement from The Armed Forces and where he was instrumental in using the latest technology and software. He explained about this concept of the internet and how at the moment it is relatively small but within a year or so it will suddenly boom and grow into a major tool for business' and for how everyday people will use the internet and its capabilities beyond what at the time was unimaginable! Turns out he was more than right!<br />
<br />
The first version of our website was pretty basic but it was just a foot in the door into the cyber world and gave us a marketing base for our new company. A few years down the line it was time for a re-vamp which is the same site you see at the moment at <a href="http://steed.co.uk/">steed.co.uk</a><br />
<br />
It is a nice and clear site and we still get compliments on it to this day, however as times are changing we felt it is time once again to re-vamp the site and take it a stage further and to offer much more in terms of usability, valuable information and visual ideas as to what Steed can offer our great customers.<br />
<br />
We started to throw around some ideas back in November 2011 between myself, Matthew, Andrea and David McNeil of <a href="http://www.revocreative.co.uk/" target="_blank">Revo Creative </a>and came up with a substantial list of things we would love to incorporate in the new site.<br />
<br />
One of which was a unique feature which we are sure might again be a first for Savile Row!<br />
<br />
Its is a bespoke customer login.<br />
<br />
This feature is available to all of our bespoke customers and their username will be their email address and a password of their choosing when they register for the feature.<br />
<br />
This will allow access to their own personal space on our site and will be able to track current orders that are in process through a interactive time-line. Matthew will be updating the system as the customers suit is going through each process. Much like we documented various stages through our blog episodes called "<a href="http://steeds-view.blogspot.co.uk/2011/10/work-in-progresspart-1.html" target="_blank">A Work In Progress</a>"<br />
<br />
There will be a standardised format of text that will explain each stage but the photo's will be unique to that order. For example you will see photo's of your own paper pattern, and the cloth that has been chosen being cut.<br />
<br />
Each customer will be able to post comments and questions in a box at the bottom of their personal page which we will reply to asap.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Other features of the new site will be galleries of our work and video's which we will start posting over time.<br />
<br />
Also one of the other main differences with the new site is that we will be incorporating our Blog Steed's View which is here on blogger. This mean's when the site is fully functional any new posts on the blog will be posted at <a href="http://steed.co.uk/">steed.co.uk</a> and not here at <a href="http://steeds-view.blogspot.com/">steeds-view.blogspot.com</a><br />
<br />
Whilst we are creating this new site we thought it would give us a great opportunity to give the company a fresh look in terms of our new colour scheme which will be seen on the new site and you can see on the photo. We are in the process of having new labels created and suit covers of which some of you may have received with the latest garments that have been finished.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn9SfhazQ9gZr9tZ0XvZuc3n6CorlClv6gJIGd9nui6CpPGE5RGK4OOvyGXBmLsFUTy8Evb_TkM5-wTfsmK_U1pyVX6ZtkMKmIc8rcXrJEeHI43MjNivYP1fyJQRH3cu6O14qwCGiUWJQ/s1600/Steed+Site+Preview.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn9SfhazQ9gZr9tZ0XvZuc3n6CorlClv6gJIGd9nui6CpPGE5RGK4OOvyGXBmLsFUTy8Evb_TkM5-wTfsmK_U1pyVX6ZtkMKmIc8rcXrJEeHI43MjNivYP1fyJQRH3cu6O14qwCGiUWJQ/s400/Steed+Site+Preview.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
The site should be going live once we get back from our upcoming trip to The States (Link to dates below) as we just need to input content which Matthew will be doing while we are away.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://steeds-view.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/steed-tailors-mayjune-2012-usa.html">http://steeds-view.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/steed-tailors-mayjune-2012-usa.html</a>
<br />
<br />
Once the site goes live please bear with us while we iron out any creases and teething problems the site may have in terms of the bespoke customer login feature.<br />
<br />
Best wishes and we look forward to seeing many of you on this upcoming trip next week.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">On July 15th on the grounds of <a href="http://www.drumlanrig.com/" target="_blank">Drumlanrig Castle</a> in Dumfriesshire, Scotland. I will be taking part in an adrenalin fuelled event known simply as <a href="http://toughmudder.co.uk/" target="_blank">Tough Mudder</a>!</span><br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcHbZFHQVJVThFRddz6sfMlM4i_CQPkHc0jdkTz-JDPr_rOliya09R5WkJWUyN0CTHhlctzHHOL0NNEZ3Gt5t_GSwOXZZs0kDW6Z72ZjKYQXsZecrCX23edzAP8YYxlQI-hN6I8fLHFUM/s1600/6870539517_5d961fa133_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcHbZFHQVJVThFRddz6sfMlM4i_CQPkHc0jdkTz-JDPr_rOliya09R5WkJWUyN0CTHhlctzHHOL0NNEZ3Gt5t_GSwOXZZs0kDW6Z72ZjKYQXsZecrCX23edzAP8YYxlQI-hN6I8fLHFUM/s200/6870539517_5d961fa133_z.jpg" width="200" /></a><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://toughmudder.co.uk/" target="_blank">Tough Mudder</a> events are hardcore 10-12 mile obstacle courses designed by the SAS Special Forces and are built to test your all around strength, stamina, mental grit and team camaraderie.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://toughmudder.co.uk/" target="_blank">Tough Mudder</a> was founded by Will Dean, a former counter-terrorism agent for the British Government. While getting his MBA at Harvard, Dean was inspired to start Tough Mudder out of frustration with unimaginative and repetitive marathons, triathlons, mud runs and other adventure runs and started the events in the US.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvgkRlhZMRNlkEwKvdcOrPcvuGCoTrTNce5ZP7VEJphSWh66mDCl28DO1ZGNRDrzjP_cNk7TCXab7C4zcFdKQuW4YT5LbgxZTFCKIEuJEYm1NOPBy-8mGM7G7MExJnZ0MtQm0y6cbxytg/s1600/Tough-Mudder-PA-0904.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvgkRlhZMRNlkEwKvdcOrPcvuGCoTrTNce5ZP7VEJphSWh66mDCl28DO1ZGNRDrzjP_cNk7TCXab7C4zcFdKQuW4YT5LbgxZTFCKIEuJEYm1NOPBy-8mGM7G7MExJnZ0MtQm0y6cbxytg/s200/Tough-Mudder-PA-0904.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Due to this being the first time Tough Mudder has been brought to the UK it involves 28 hugely challenging obstacles, rather than the standard 25 seen in the US events which include, 15ft walls, freezing lake swims, under water tunnels, crawling through stinging nettles under barbed-wire and the final obstacle...known as Electric Shock Therapy, which involves running through electric wires that hang down from a structure which send 10,000 volts coursing through your body.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I am doing this event with a team of my closest friends to raise as much money as we can as a team for the <a href="http://www.bhf.org.uk/" target="_blank">British Heart Foundation</a>. We are looking to raise around £300 each before the event takes place in July 2012 and any donations would be very much appreciated!</span><br />

I started this jacket last summer and took the forward fitting out to show when we where invited to Beijing, China last September for a luxury goods expo. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm looking forward to getting this back from the finisher next week and having it ready for our March USA trip and if I get a chance I will take another couple of photo's after the hand button holes are in and it's buttoned and pressed.</span><br />

<span style="color: white; font-size: large;">.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It is a 11oz Sporting Tweed & Country Collection but is perfect for either sport coats, such as this or to be made up in two or three piece suits, as is the cloth shown here of which I just caught Dad cutting out for a new customer in The States.

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This one of mine is the 25341. It is a grey barley corn weave with a blue over-check and although I have had it made up as a sports coat, I may end up following the lead of a customer of ours who had it made up as a sports jacket originally and then decided a 2-piece suit will work as well so we made the trousers up for him and it looks fantastic. </span><br />

<span style="color: white; font-size: large;">..</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm going to be using my jacket as a more casual sport jacket to travel in and to go out for meals as it looks equally great with jeans or grey flannels with a nice Oxford blue shirt and black or brown shoes and even for the most daring of people, white trainers/sneakers. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>I was lucky enough</b> to be given this lovely book as a present for my recent birthday and I must say it is a fantastic and interesting read with some beautiful and encapsulating photo's in it.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It brought back wonderful memories to see so many of the customers that I had looked after, during my seven years there and you can see why so many still want to be part of such a rich history, by having their clothes made there. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Also while I may not be in the book from a photographic standpoint in person, I am however there in the form of my handwriting, on the one jacket pattern that they chose to feature, who was a customer of Colin Harvey and later mine once Harvey retired. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Each cutter used to mark his patterns with their initials, which you can see on the white note, with the measurements on at the bottom of this pattern.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">What a wonderful surprise it was to see the painting of Colin Harvey at his board, which I had never seen before but really encapsulates him perfectly and just as I had remembered him. I recently bumped into his brother John, who was a director at Scabal's (from whenever I can remember), whilst on The Row last Friday and I asked him if he knew of this painting as I would love a print of this, if not the original! </span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">When Harvey retired he gave me his cutting shears, which I don't use but have retained the yellow cloth that he had wrapped around the handle and now adorn the shears that I use, which where my Fathers. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If you look at the picture below you can see that the artist has included this in his painting.</span><br />

This is a beautiful blue flannel with a brown overcheck. We are currently making this up for a customer in NYC and Dad has since decided he is going to have to take our customers lead and have it made up himself!<br />

<b>LL Blue Shetland Tweed (LLTW20)</b><br />
<br />
This cloth is the sibling to the very sucessful Brown Shetland Tweed with crimson window pane which can be seen below.<br />
<br />
It was also featured in our series of articles named...<br />
"<a href="http://steeds-view.blogspot.com/2011/10/work-in-progresspart-1.html" target="_blank">A Work In Progress</a>" and has become a firm favourite of ours. Looks great as a sports jacket with grey flannel trousers or with brown shoes and blue jeans for a night out on the town or when out for a nice meal.<br />

I have asked Michael about the possibility of this cloth being re-run as quite a few customers have enquired about it as well as the fact that I am dying to have it made up myself! I will have more information in the near future about if it will go ahead and will let everyone know if it happens but it is looking promising! :-)<br />

<b>Eden in Paris re-run!</b><br />
<br />
This is a classic from the Cloth Club and it is back due to popular demand! I have a length of this myself which was given to me as a gift by a friend and customer in DC, unfortunately I have yet to have it made up but I will get round to it eventually when we have time! As Dad often says.."Its like the cobblers son with no shoes.."<br />
<br />

We have made this cloth up for customer in DC in a 3-piece suit, it may not catch the eye like some of the other LL Cloths, but once it was made up it looked fantastic and all of us where very pleased with the outcome.<br />

This is another that I unfortunately don't have too much info on but again if you are interested you can contact Michael below or I will try to find out for you.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
For anyone that is interested in any of these cloths and would like more information please contact Michael Alden at the email address below. As I get more information myself about any other possible re-runs or current stock that Michael has I will post them up on the blog to let everyone see.<br />
<br />
I would imagine there will be a lot of people interested in these cloths featured so to avoid disappointment I would advise contacting Michael about subscribing any of the LL cloths before they sell out.<br />
