"I well recall his chauffeur-driven car pulling up outside Richard James and Sir Hardy emerging like Lady Bracknell. He'd cast a lugubrious eye over the bright pink and acid green jackets in our window before shaking his head at us in mock disbelief. And then he smiled."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Savile Row: The Master Tailors Of British Bespoke | The Row Blog – Contemporary Savile Row Tailors, Savile Row Bespoke, Custom-Made, Made-To-Measure Men's Suits )〕 Richard James now has two shops on Savile Row, one of them devoted to bespoke tailoring.
