Happy 12th birthday to Brian the Lion, Bryan Furry, the Hound of Bedlam. Thank you for being the funniest, wisest, most loyal and brave (also, noisiest 🙄) Jack Rascal Terrorist.

Have been trying to catch the perfect full body profile of Brian so we might sketch it to print on cotton fabric for Sue’s shirt. It will happen.

Another recent birthday boy was of course and we had a belated lunch at the Jolly Sailor. Credit for the greatest match of bonce to crown ever goes to

Crystal Palace supporters bag made especially for Mr Beck.

Blue skies, the blue ridge mountains of Virginia, the blue bird of happiness… even though the sleeve lining of a jacket may only be glanced as an elusive flash by anyone other than the wearer, each element of an Earl of Bedlam piece is given consideration and care.

The primary consideration for this latest commission from was staying cool in the sultry summers of the American South. Counter intuitive but true, wool is going to keep you cooler than linen. Ask a sheep. Have you ever seen a flock decked out in pure linen suits? No, thank you, we rest our case.

A BLEND of silk, linen and wool gives you the superior characteristics of each with the advantage of being crumple free. The sum of the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. Not for the first time, we found the winner at

Only the sleeves will be lined, in another natural breathable fabric, silk. This beautiful crepe backed satin came from

A one button, unlined jacket that you can roll into your travel bag that comes out restaurant / boardwalk ready, made in the finest fabric with throw-on insouciance…

and that is the spirit that named the jacket, “The Sans Souci”… without care, trouble free. Michael’s family heritage is German and in Potsdam sits the Sans Souci Palace, a construct of luxury in the pursuit of pleasure.

? Not any glass either but a Venetian heart dangle twiddle charm attached to our Punk rock flyer silk scarves, a drop of red against the monochrome hand bills of gigs for Blondie, The Buzzcocks, the Specials and a gob of others.

From the latest roll, the wider ones are now stitched and ready to post on their way tomorrow to and but the 17cm x 150cm (slightly skinnier but just as long) is still yours to nab… then that’s it from this latest edition.

£250 + £15 tracked and signed postage, £25 r.ow.

Sunday Girl says grab it.

As the pride of South London, Crystal Palace get ready to take on Reyo Vallecano in Leipzig tonight for the final of the UEFA , the fans are forging bonds, forgetting rivalry as they gasp in admiration at the suit we made for last year.

That miracle of tailoring was instrumental in the team winning the FA Cup Final at Wembley in May last year. Things happen fast in football and that fixture was not a cert until two weeks before kick off.

We created Richard’s suit, INCLUDING DAN PRINTING THE COTTON GABERDINE TO THE EXACT KIT COLOURS, in two weeks minus one day. Never say never, never say it can’t be done. Dare to dream, envisage what you want and we will create it. What an absolutely sensational result.

Stress? Oh yes, and not something we want to go through on a regular basis. Worth it? A hundred times over!!

With no extra time we went straight to finish meaning until Richard emerged changed into it and proclaimed it fitted like a goalie’s glove, we were living on our nerves.

Will the Lucky Suit come through again tonight?!?!

No day off at Bedlam Towers! In these difficult times for businesses, so delighted are we that Dan managed to find another British silk supplier after the previous one went bust dramatically, unexpectedly, that we have rolled out joyously relieved the latest swathe… and opened the hatch in the conservatory to let the steam out on this sweltering holiday.

This order was jump started by who fancied herself in our punk rock flyer scarf, necessitating a reprint, then it spluttered and stalled when the silk company hit the wall.

Now back in gear, hand to the shears - in addition to the one for Ms. Lesh, there is enough for another lush length double sided punk flyer scarf 150cm x 25cm (£300) and a third slightly skinnier (17cm) but just as long (150cm) (£250).

The gold on black scarf you see in the photos is already nabbed by Sandra but there’s a silver cuffs on steely blue for you (£200) and a double sided pocket square of each (£100).

As we always say, whatever the weather these are your go to accessories, keeping you cool on sizzlers like today, and snug in chillier seasons.

One in small
Three in large

“Sugar the strawberries,” a French idiom for being “a bit fruit & nuts”:
Two in small

One in XL
One in ###L

Speak out we said, don’t be shy to make requests. Maura, now there’s a lady who knows what she wants and gets it. She’s a native New Yorker, she ain’t no shrinkin geranium.
“Can I have a v-neck?”

One V-neck tee comin’ up, hold the slaw.

“Thank you love your stuff maybe one day I’ll be able to get a bespoke” wrote Miss M.
“Well you kinda just did!” we replied.

Somewhat reminds me of the Winged Victory of Samothrace, another dame on top of her game.
