David Saxby’s menswear emporium is perfect for those with lord of the manor pretensions but without the trust fund to match. It’s worth persevering when perusing the rails of tightly packed suits, as Savile Row suits can be had for under £100 (and originals can cost upwards of £3,000). All the gentlemanly requisites are here: top hats, tailcoats, silk scarves, overcoats and moleskin trousers, and the shop is a favourite with those off to retro events such as the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Saxby also has a branch in Tokyo, and his own-label menswear shop down the road (no.62), selling traditional tweed suits, silk waistcoats, overcoats and cords for off-duty gents.
Unfortunately a huge disappointment. I have ordered a pair of trousers from David Saxby and have paid them in full. I was told that I can expect them to be finished in 2 weeks. After not hearing back from the shop for 5 weeks I called them several times but no one was able to tell me when I can expect the order to be finished and they never called me back as promised. Finally, I wrote several emails to David Saxby and only got one reply, with a promise to look into this. Two months have passed now and I have decided to ask for a full refund. David Saxby did not respond to my message and I have not received any refund so far.
