I'm not against Christmas. In fact, I rather enjoy it. In my adulthood, however, I find it increasingly difficult to get in the mood as it were until very late in the season - Christmas has become a rather busy time for weddings and so I am busy in my Queen Square studio discussing whether the groom is required to wear the colour-scheme chosen by his betrothed, in the lining, or not.
I am hemmed-in (haha-Ed) by 3 young festival goers - and their myriad bags of camping equipment -psychology students it transpires, and one a graduate, no less!And as I look around at the multifarious branded backpacks, it occurs to me that there is not only no wet-weather gear being worn by this throng, but no Tweed being worn by a single one?!. Tweed, you see, is my go-to festival and camping canvas of choice, and I'll tell you why; unlike denim Tweed will keep you dry owing to it's clever weave of coarse yarn which keeps water from the wearer. And, unlike wet weather gear, including Gortex, it breathes - and anyone who has ever donned their waterproofs to make the pilgrimage from tent to main stage will know that once you have arrived at your destination the rain will almost certainly have stopped and the sun will be beating down, leaving you simmering in your own juices and praying for a downpour!A Suit That Fits range of Tweeds (so named, it is said, after an English tailor mis-read 'Twill' on the sales-note of a Scottish mill close to the RiverTweed) are from Italian mill, Campore and are of the highest quality.
Some are fine and others hand-woven and coarse - and not dissimilar to that Tweed institution Harris.So, Tweed, I tell you - and anyone that will listen - is the way forward for such unpredictable jaunts into the countryside and not just for Christmas - or weddings!. .

Rachel's Wedding Themes: Part 2, Sweet as Pie
'Honey, sugar, cup-cake, I'm sure you've called your partner at least one of these terms, love has inherent sweet connotations and it's something you can really have fun with. So this one is fairly straight forward and a really charming theme as you can have lots of fun with the decorations and table gifts. This website is a great place to get all the things you need, they even have proper liquorish root and kola cubes! (Yes I have a sweet tooth) http://www.aquarterof.co.uk/ But for this blog our focus will be the suiting potential.
You don't have to go for a giant splash of colour like these gents above, but if you want a subtle hint why don't you try what I like to call the Cadbury's suit; rich brown with our AE104 Dark Purple lining. It looks really great if you've got a winter wedding, go with a tweed cloth or if you prefer jaffa cakes, the paraquette lining with a cream shirt and a blue tie.
With this theme the devil is in the details. Choose classic suiting shades adding that touch of sugar with love heart cufflinks or candy tones in the contrast details, maybe even powder blue brogues for those with a bold heart.
For the more classic gent go with a light grey silk and wool mix with a subtle purple and blue stripe. Give the detailing a pastel twist with a violet lining, light blue piping and a powder blue melton, keeping everything bold without being brash.
It's not just the suit that can take on the sweetie theme, this is a wedding idea that you can go as far as you like with. It all depends on how crazy you and your bride want to make it!
And if all this sweetness is is starting to make your head spin and your teeth ache I recommend a cup of bitter coffee to bring you back down to earth!

In my formative years: 9yrs old - football terrace fashion interested me much more than football terraces, and I was quick to join those leading the charge in the fashion stakes even if it cost me every penny I'd saved - causing my beloved parents no end of grief resulting in me being banned from family holidays at the age of 13 and we had to get a bus to that neighbouring town we'd been staunchly warned never to visit, not to mention a long way away when your 9.
And though long established, these European brands were new to us and we couldn't get enough of our Lacaoste polo shirts, Fila, Tacchini and Kappa tracksuits, Ellesse caps, Lois cords (in sky blue, obviously, and hems split at the side seam) and Kicker boots, ah the memories. But back then it wasn't only new and exciting it was exclusive, something that cannot be said of football fashion today. Anyone can acquire the myriad brands at high street sports stores up and down the country.
So what of the old rear guard? What of chaps who still want to show their true colours, whilst remaining a cut above the rest, but who may not pass off a shiny tracksuit in the boardroom?
The answer is simple, personalise your bespoke suit with your teams strip!
Not even David Beckham, who is surely a sartorial inspiration for legion fans everywhere, has paid homage to his teams by wearing their colours in his suit .
Well, such is Darren Cox's love for his team - and one must imagine Claire's for Darren - that he had his wedding suit lined with QPR's strip!
There can be no denying the passion and commitment of an ardent football fan, so if your are commited to your cause, and want to wear your colours on or in your sleeve - not to mention the back the side and the front - and above all things keeping your look ship shape and Bristol fashion, maybe it's time you moved into the sartorial premier league and had your suits tailored in Bristol (City or Rovers), Manchester (United of City), or any one of our 34 locations nationwide.

Judging by the volume of grooms that I've had through my Bristol studio doors already this year, I think it's safe to say that love is well and truly in the air!
The most popular cloth for wedding suits in 2010 was our HAB-2 grey/brown cashmere/wool herringbone, and not surprisingly, the 3-piece suit remains the most popular ensemble, and I'll explain some of the reasons why this might be.
A 3-piece wedding suit is a timeless classic for good reason. It ensures that, following the formal part of the days proceedings, i.e. the wedding ceremony, and it then closely followed by the wedding photos, the groom is likely to want to remove his jacket for the wedding reception - but will still want to be identifiable as the groom, and not resemble one of the guests, who by now may well be down to their shirtsleeves, if not their shirts and trousers .
I thought I might offer a few tips, as well as some food for thought, when considering what to wear on the big day:
Style
Be sure to trawl as many magazines as possible (or wherever you get your sartorial inspiration from) to get an idea of what you might like to wear. However, save your decision until you have actually tried on something similar, to be sure that you like it as much when it is on your back; for example, do not set your heart on a top hat and tails if you do not have the face/head for a top hat, nor the complexion for a black tailcoat.
Colour
By far and away the best colour to choose is the one that is most flattering to you, for example one that best suits your complexion. So before you set your heart on that David Beckham silver-grey two-tone number, try a similar colour on in a shop, to be sure it works for you.
That said, if you do not wish to spend time shopping for something you believe you will not find, or can think of nothing worse than spending a day traipsing around retail establishments, simply book one of our free personal consultations, and let us take the pain out of the process. With you in front of us - and hopefully, your betrothed by your side having details of the wedding colour scheme - we will quickly be able to ascertain which colours to consider, and draw up a shortlist in no time, for you to choose from.
Fit
Be sure to request a fit, or cut, that you are going to be comfortable in, for example if you're a regular suit wearer, a cut that is not dissimilar to that of your current selection of suits. However, if the silhouette of your current suit style leaves you looking and feeling like a sack of potatoes, and this is not the chosen look for the big day, then we can discuss a more flattering alternative with you.
Timing
Timing, they say, is everything. And just as this was true of the marriage proposal, it could not be more so when considering placing your order for a bespoke suit!
