I recently came across Restaurant Magazine’s best restaurants in the world for 2005.
Clearly, this would make the basis of a decent travel itinerary around the world. One surprising thing I noticed is the number of British restaurants that made the list. Perhaps the result of a culinary Renaissance of sorts in Merry Old England.
Either way, it’s a good excuse to visit and sample sartorial London. I certainly wouldn’t mind a weeklong itinerary constructed entirely around classic English haberdashery. For starters, I’d make sure to visit and pick up:
- A classic spread collar shirt by Hilditch & Key
- An oxford weave or jacquard silk tie by Drake’s of London
- A pair of John Lobb or Edward Green monk shoes (say the Ashby model in dark oak and the 808 last)
- A handmade sports coat in 10/11 oz Holland & Sherry Super 120s wool on or off Savile Row
Hmm, I’ll have to think some more about this!
All that stuff is hella sexy. I LOVE the Hilditch & Key dress shirts. Very sharp.
