Click here to read my March 2013 story on the maiden Sterling and Burke—Benson and CleggBespoke and MTM event. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to drop by and say hello. My LFG and work duties precluded it. Timing is everything, no? The good news is that I’ll be able to go ‘round and meet the B&C fellas this time.

Grant Harris, the coolest style blogger in D.C., wrote a nice piece on the B&C March visit. Go here to learn more about the guys behind the B&C strategy.

Full bespoke is clearly in the Benson and Clegg sweet-spot but they’ll also be offering their Made to Measure option which is relatively affordable. Let me define that. Bottom line is this—If you are buying full price off the rack Polo anything or more precisely, Purple Label Ralph, you need to consider MTM. Actually, if you are paying anywhere near a thousand dollars for anything off the rack, you need to jump into the MTM world and my hunch is that the B&C guys would be a safe bet. Grant Harris is amidst an MTM creation with these guys and it will be worth swinging by Sterling and Burke just to see how his Norfolk jacket is coming along. Go here to read about Grant’s project.
So let me close out this drivel by letting S&B give you the specifics on this week’s Benson and Clegg British Invasion.
"Our Benson & Clegg associates, Ken & Tony, will be making themselves available this Thursday through Saturday (the 27-29th of June) to take measurements for bespoke and made-to-measure suits. Please allow us to know if you wish to be added to the schedule. You may ring the store on 202.333.2266. Also, a wide range of their latest merchandise will be available to the public for purchase."
Onward. Waiting on Princess LFG to emerge and request—any damn thing she desires.
