Dents gloves

Since 1777, Dents has been making high quality men's and women's gloves. For her 1953 coronation, Queen Elizabeth wore Dents gloves.

As one website notes about the workmanship that goes into Dents gloves: "Glove-making is a complex craft requiring up to fifty different components and thirty different manufacturing operations to produce a single pair. The quality of any pair depends on the grade of the leathers used and the level of attention given to the stitching and construction."

They make everything from cold weather sheepskin gloves to light driving gloves. Materials used for their leather gloves range from goat skin, sheepskin, cowhide and deer hide, and can be lined in wool, silk, fleece, cashmere or fur. And they also make tweed and wool cloth gloves.

Fabrics

The range of fabrics available for suits and shirts is amazing and daunting. Daunting when trying to decide the perfect one for a new purchase.

Here are a few of the best: Carlo Riva, David & John Anderson, Holland and Sherry, and Scabal. Harrisons has a portfolio of brands: H. Lesser & Sons, Harrisons, Lear Browne & Dunsford, Porter & Harding, Smith Woollens, and W. Bill. 

The range of wool available from around the world is incredible, from sheep and lambs wool to the super fine wool of  Guanaco and Vincuna. Alpaca wool is fairly expansive at $2.00 - $3.00 per ounce, but Vicuna wool is the most expensive at around $15.00 per ounce.

Camel hair is a popular fabric for overcoats. Standeven is one of the best. A British firm located in Bradford England, they have sales agents in 28 other countries.

Fox Brothers & Co are the premier manufacturers of flannel, and also make linen, merino wool, and tweed.

For dinner suits (or Tuxedos) either Barathea, a type of wool, or mohair is used. Fox Brothers are a provider of Barathea.

Casual jackets

From The Chap's Guide comes the classic outdoor jacket, the Barbour Classic. His is the Kyle model which is no longer made, but a full selection is available on their website.

Knitware

A relative newcomer to the fashion industry is Colhay's of Scotland. Only a few years old, it has quickly become known for the high quality of its knitware.

Ravazzolo

Of the suit makers I've seen I prefer the Italian style over British and American. Of the Italian tailors I've seen I most like Ravazzolo based in Grumolo delle Abbadesse (about a 30 minute drive from Padua), but they also have an outlet in Milan.

Safari wear

Rohan of the UK have an extensive line of high quality outdoor and travel wear.

The classic safari outfit as conceived by Huntsman of Savile Row was made for Clark Gable for use in the movie Mogambo in 1953.
