Here come the boys. Remember: You literally paid for the clothes on their backs.

Gerry Kelly SC: He asked for ‘Borderline Dandy’ and that’s what the tailor gave him. With one proviso: hat always at rakish angle, sir!

John O’Donnell SC: Waterproof, thorn-proof and with a military bearing. What more could the young gentlemen want from a coat?  Apart from an extra-long pocket for the venison, of course.

Michael McDowell SC: More than suits you, sir! This three-piece screams: “I’ve changed”. Why? Because there comes a point in a man’s life when he needs to look like Captain Mainwaring from Dad’s Army.

Bill Shipsey SC: It’s a statement suit. The statement being: a girthful of pink tone-on-tone lights up any courtroom!

Over the sumer, a new exhibition of street art featuring the work of 103 artists opened in New York city: the largest-ever show of its kind.

In the weeks since, almost no one has seen the show. The gallery, whose existence has been a closely guarded secret, closed on the same night it opened.

Collectors can’t buy the art. The public can’t see it. And the only people with a chance of stumbling across it are the urban explorers who prowl the city’s hidden infrastructure or employees of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
