"Mrs Mary Lutwyche née Thomas" by George Romney, 18th Century.
Old England Paris vintage
My public service of vintage found around the internet -- as always, I have no commercial connection to these sales unless I say otherwise. My book about all this and much more about classic Paris custom menswear is available at the link in my bio though.
1990s ad for the defunct suitmaker Chester Barrie at Old England Paris. Chester Barrie used to be the best maker of British ready-to-wear suits. The name got separated from the factory, which ended up being owned by Lutwyche before liquidation during the pandemic.

Exuberantly awesome hand-tailored sportcoat made by what is now Cheshire Bespoke (Lutwyche) in printed Viyella, a cotton-wool mixture. Until 15 years ago, Cheshire Bespoke produced fine hand tailored garments made in England under the Chester Barrie brand, but today’s Chester Barrie is a label put on half-canvassed and fused suits made in Italy and elsewhere. Cheshire Bespoke is still around and makes under the Lutwyche label. Not stuff like this though.
