Gieves and Hawkes

Situated, rather appositely, at No.1 Savile Row, Gieves and Hawkes is one of our favourite outfitters.

Although their modern ranges are a picture of louche luxury, they are still one of the better recommended officer's tailors for Her Majesty's armed forces. Thus, while picking out a sumptuous modern shirt one may also, simply by lying about one's regiment, acquire a splendid pair of regulation officer's gloves at risible outlay.

Please note that the 'G' is pronounced hard, as in 'Git' and 'Guttersnipe'. Jeeves is someone else entirely.
