0261 The smell of decay is damn good
The service in the No. 1 store is all privileged people, and it is a little difficult to cut the queue or meet the construction deadline, so Wu Qian did not go to this store.
Wu Qian found a tailor shop called "Anderson and Shepard", the front of the shop is so low-key that it looks like an ordinary house, the number 17 on the entire tailor street, it is also a very prestigious tailor shop in London, opened in 1873.
For nearly 150 years, the Anderson & Shepard tailor shop has served many royal families and has also provided customized services to countless celebrities.
The most successful artist of the last century, Michael Jackson was also a client of "Anderson & Shepard", and the dress that Michael Jackson wore on the "Bad" world tour in 1988 was made from "Anderson & Shepard".
In the reception room, there are many framed photos hanging on the wall, all of them are famous figures, and it is estimated that there are many photos of people who are not famous enough to be hung up, from black and white to color, from clear to high-definition, recording the glorious history of the "Anderson and Shepard" tailor shop.
Most of the European and American stars Wu Qian can be recognized, but the political figures in some countries are not recognized.
At this moment, Wu Qian stood in a strange posture with his arms bent, and an English gentleman about 60 years old and gray-haired was holding a tape measure, looking intently measuring his body. A fully custom-made suit must be one version per person, and the tailor will tailor a version to the customer's body type.
The "Anderson & Shepard" tailor shop has very strict requirements for size, and must go through at least 27 measurements of different body parts and shapes to obtain the most accurate garment data, and two tailors go through at least 50 hours of hand-made and 1:1 slice cutting to make a completely fitting and free garment.
The special display case is full of fabrics, and there are a few horns on the countertop in the corner, and the tailor said that the buttons of the Savile Row custom suits must be made of some kind of animal horn, and never use resin, and recently for animal protection reasons, most of them are selected horns, which is also a symbol of quality.
The requirements of clothing making are not only this, if it is a suit made of stripes or plaid fabrics, the tailor must also pay absolutely attention to the stripes or checks, such as the stripes on the hood of the jacket and the stripes above the hood, and the checkered on the body and the collar and sleeves should be consistent, which looks like a whole, which is the gospel for people with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Suit thugs aren't just talking, and when it comes to tailoring, Savile Row suits follow the British tradition, with a strong focus on fit, slim fit and line. The shoulders are slightly wider, the waist is tightened, the upper body is hourglass-shaped, and the shoulder pads are thinner to give the shoulder line a natural while providing plenty of room for the arms to move.
A truly tailored suit will never appear a little ill-fitting, and there is no sense of restraint, so even if you wear a suit, it will not affect the fight, Wu Qian asked David and Cooks to also order two suits, but they are not as advanced as his.
The choice of fabrics made Wu Qian instantly make it difficult to choose, because there are thousands of fabrics to choose from, and just introducing them one by one can talk about it all day......
In the end, Wu Qian chose 250 pieces of fabric made of 11-micron wool produced by Scabal, called Summit, with a fabric price of more than £2,000 per metre, and the cost of fabric for just one suit exceeded £7,000......
In addition, Wu Qian also selected 150 wool fabrics mixed with 22k gold threads, fabrics mixed with diamond powder in wool yarn, fabrics mixed with lapis lazuli powder, etc., all of which are the top fabrics in the "Anderson and Shepard" tailor shop.
Wu Qian ordered 4 suits, David and Kukus had a total of 4 suits, 8 suits, because considering the construction period, Wu Qian also paid the tailor an additional "overtime pay", and finally spent 220,000 pounds, and Wu Qian's own four sets cost 188,000 pounds......
"BOSS, I love you. If Ball knew, he would be unbalanced......" David said sensually.
BOSS spent more than 10,000 pounds on himself to buy a bank, which can be regarded as a small benefit.
"Humble Bauer doesn't care about this, BOSS, in fact, I don't care either, can I apply for a discount?" Cooks joked.
Wu Qian didn't take care of the two sassy guys, he worked with himself, he was born and died, the cost of more than 100,000 pounds a year is really not high, and Wu Qian will not be stingy with these small favors.
The matter of customizing the suit was finalized, and Wu Qian appreciated the kind of attention paid to clothing by the British nobles in the past, and the life aspect was really decaying.
After Wu Qian and the tailor agreed to try on the clothes and then contact them temporarily, they drove by Cooks towards the Royal Butler College in England.
"This rotten smell actually smells damn good...... Wu Qian turned his head to look at Savile Row through the car window, and sighed in his heart. With money, who doesn't want to live a refined and decent life.
"BOSS, in the world of capital, as long as there is money, it can really be very corrupt. Did you know that there is a principality that can even be rented out so that the renter can experience what it is like to be a king...... Ha ha. Cooks said.
Wu Qian was full of suspicion about this, he looked at Kukus from the central rearview mirror, and said, "Kukus, you read the tree, the knee, and the bee together in English." ”
Cooks didn't know what was going on, but he still met the strange request of his boss, and said, "Tree Knee Bee, what's wrong with the boss?"
Wu Qian smiled: "Don't you understand? You 'brag'...... Talking big words and lying meanings, how can any country still rent ......"
The corners of Cooks' mouth flicked, his Chinese is good, but not so good, he didn't take his boss's ridicule seriously.
"It's true, boss. Liechtenstein, do you know? This is the principality, and in previous years the rental market was 80,000 euros or 90,000 Swiss francs a day, with a minimum of two days, and you could enjoy certain privileges. ”
Wu Qian took out his mobile phone suspiciously and checked it, and saw that it was really true.
Liechtenstein is located between Switzerland and Austria, it is a very small pocket country, with a total population of less than 40,000 and an area of only 160.5 square kilometers......
There are only 5 government officials in the whole country of Liechtenstein, 3 of whom are part-time, so the government building in Liechtenstein is also very small, with only three floors, the top floor is the Prime Minister's Office, the second floor is the courthouse, and the bottom is the prison for prisoners.
Once, the deputy prime minister was locked in his office by an unwitting staff member because he was working too late, and finally the door was opened by a prisoner in the basement, because the prison janitor went home and asked the prisoner to help keep the key, so happy and harmonious, I don't know what the person did to go to prison......
