Prince of Shirts
If the Shoe Fits... The John Lobb Bootmaker premises are steeped in British history; as well as being only a head turn away from Henry VIII’s palace, it has also been the home of coffee houses, gentleman’s clubs and elegant outfitters throughout the centuries, the dwelling-place of aristocrats and nobles. And it is not as though this tradition sees any signs of stopping. In 2009, it was paid a visit by Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall. For the S/S13 season, the British bootmaker introduces a new non-welted ankle boot, the Opanka construction, making for a more durable and flexible shoe. The Livonia is this summer’s slipon shoe, which fittingly has a nautical twist with its water resistant leather finish and white rubber sole. Now in possession of two Royal Warrants, John Lobb is the official shoemaker of kings.
As one of Britain’s most famous ambassadors, the Prince of Wales doesn’t often make headlines for talking about his outfit choices. But a recent visit to the Turnbull & Asser factory revealed that the Prince has been wearing its shirts for more than 40 years. Established in 1885, Turnbull & Asser is a famously British brand and has dressed some of the most famous names in British history including Winston Churchill and all the James Bonds, from Sean Connery in Dr No to Daniel Craig in Casino Royale. turnbullandasser.co.uk
