![]() However, hopefully it is a useful resource for anyone looking for personal experiences and reviews of the world’s best in bespoke.Īnyone that would like to see many of these tailors’ cuts analysed, with consistent measurements, should see the Guide to Tailors Styles. One to three is more like it (see post ‘ How many tailors do you need? ‘). I certainly wouldn’t recommend that someone pursue this course towards bespoke, or maintain this number of tailors. ![]() There are now 55 tailors here, which is too many by anyone’s standards.

Then in the centuries of medieval persecution and suppression every alchemist invented his own secret symbols. In the early days of alchemy, the astronomical signs of the planets were also used as alchemical symbols. Gold was the purest of all and silver followed closely. To the medieval alchemist's mind the different elements were but the same original substance in varying degrees of purity. Simplified, the aims of the alchemists were threefold: to find the Stone of Knowledge (The Philosophers' Stone), to discover the medium of Eternal Youth and Health, and to discover the transmutation of metals.
