SURPRISE Bespoke Suit! | First Fitting | Davidoff of London & Henry Poole!

On our first episode, we surprised Eddie with his very first BESPOKE SUIT! Eddie had no idea what was in store when we took a walk down Savile Row to visit Simon Cundey at Henry Poole & Co. to view some of his Winston Churchill memorabilia. During a previous visit to London, Eddie asked that should he ever begin his journey to getting a bespoke suit made, would I accompany him? Unbeknownst to Eddie, I reached out to my good friend Simon Cundey and we decided to go one better and surprise him with his very first bespoke suit!
Simon is the managing director and 7th generation owner of Henry Poole & Co, who were the very first tailors on Savile Row! Their bespoke clothing is actually referred to as 'Pure Bespoke', because every part of the creation of the suit is done right there on site in Savile Row. The construction is not outsourced to any other facility or workshop. So, join me as we meet with Simon for Eddie's very first 'first fitting' of his surprise bespoke suit, and witness Eddie on his continuing adventure as he takes his first steps into the wonderful work of bespoke!

While he is a nice guy, I still think his prices are ridiculous. I would love to compare his suits to a reputable bespoke suit tailor from China at a 10th of the cost. After watching all of his suit making videos for the last year-and-a-half I feel like there's a lot of puffery in this industry. Just like anywhere else in the world they take your measurements and sew it together. But the suit is absolute amazing.

I remember my oldest son getting his first bespoke suit at 19. It was such a special occasion and moment for him and I. I have to admit I shed a tear or two in the privacy of my car. Your first fitting is a rite of of passage. Your first bespoke suit, shirt is a rite of passage and needs to be treated as such. A man’s attire,a woman’s attire tells you a story if you know how to read it. Some people you need to talk to, to understand who they are and where they come from. Others you simply need to watch, observe their garments and you know more than enough.
