Cad & the Dandy will launch the annual "Best Dressed Banker's Award" on Oct. 10, 2011. Last year's winner was Greg Rellis of OTC Europe who received 2 bespoke suits together with his nominee. I'm expecting nothing less for this year's rewards.
Not being familiar with bespoke UK suits beyond the generic Thomas Pink and English Laundry (are they even a British brand?!) shirts, I decided to do some research and peek around their website. The site is very well built and the services they offer look legit, and at a reasonable price considering the suit is bespoke. The price for a bespoke suit is about the same as a Canali suit on sale at Nordstroms. They look to have three locations: Savile Row, The City, and Canary Wharf.
The sites "about us" section describes the boutique as the following:

I wonder what kind of fabric they offer for their suits, do they have a variety at different price points or are they all a minimum of Super 100 or 120 wool. Lastly, I wonder if it's made in house or contracted out to Italy (which has a booming Chinese immigrant population making suits on the cheap -- but still maintaining the "Made in Italy" labeling. Either way, I'm bummed I live on the wrong side of the pond so I can't visit the store in person.
