Buy Candy: King & Allen pinstripe

Inspired by the Rat Pack and Bond films, Adam King co-founded bespoke tailoring company King & Allen in 2003.

The company arranges “fitting days” in hotels and function rooms across the UK, where customers can get measured up.

“When you buy a suit from us, your money goes towards the suit itself, rather than a lavish shop on Savile Row,” explains King.

Plus, you can have your name, signature or initials woven in gold leaf in your pinstripe.

Where from: Kingandallen.co.uk

How much: £2,795 (for a two-piece)
