READY FOR ACTION – Anthony Sinclair unveil their first ready-to-wear Conduit Cut suit

As a huge fan of British spy films and television, it’s delightful to see a film released that so embraces the genre. Kingsman: The Secret Service is a spy film packed with irreverent homage to the spy films of the past, but – like the Savile Row suiting in the films – has taken the […]
