President Obama’s Wardrobe and Tailoring

Your man Jeeves ran across an interesting article about the dress habits of President Obama in the Boston Globe.

It seems that the style pundits have been carefully studying the Presidents wardrobe and have made suggestions to help him look better.

It seems that first and foremost President Obama is in need of a good tailor.  According to the article his suits just don’t fit well. The length of his trousers is wrong (too long) and his jackets tend to have a “bolero” effect because they are too pinched at the sternum.

None the less, the tailors at Jeeves can help.

Clothing that fits less than perfect can be made to fit perfectly. Our craftsmen who work in our tailoring division are truly that. With an eye for detail our tailors can work wonders with any wardrobe, presidential or not.

If President Obama would like the services of your man Jeeves, we would be pleased to tailor his first suit complimentary.

Jeeves of Belgravia has the Royal Warrant as the Dry Cleaner for HRH the Prince of Wales, and maybe tailors to President Obama.

Yoko Ono Lennon’s Jacket

I had a cool experience this week.

A gentleman driving a beautiful Mercedes Benz parked in front of Jeeves this week. By chance I was at the front of the shop at the time.

He handed me a jacket and asked if he could get it cleaned by Friday. “It would be my pleasure”, I responded.

“May I ask the client’s name”, I said.

The driver says, “Yoko Ono Lennon”.

As a life-long Beatles fan, my jaw dropped. Wow, Yoko’s jacket.

Of the many celebrities that I have had the pleasure of meeting over the years, Yoko has always been at the top of my list. Hopefully I can get the chance to actually meet her one day.

For time time being, I’ll happily settle for the dry cleaner of choice by Yoko Ono.
