The Last of the Old School

Shot with Olympus E520
London, and Soho in particular, used to be full of bespoke tailors, Mr Eddie & Chris Kerr in Berwick Street are among the last. Most of the tailors had disappeared by the end of the eighties, and I can't even remeber the name of the last one I used. I can remember that the old guy that owned the place had his father (in his 90's) cutting, who was trained in Saville Row. That name is going to bug me, now. (Next morning: Got it! "Burnards" - anyone else remember them?)
