11:50 - The chap he refers to who he bought those Henry Poole suits from, the chap who inherited a Clyde Shipyard at the age of twenty was noneother than Sir William Lithgow, 2nd Baronet. I know this because his father, Sir James Lithgow, 1st Baronet, went to my old school and I recall doing a lot of research into the family during my time in the archives. Sir James, his father, was Churchill's closest advisor in the realm of shipbuilding during the war. Sir James built up the world's biggest shipbuilding empire, and when he died his son, Sir William - only 18 or so at the time - and studying at the famous school Eton inherited the world's largest shipbuilding empire, a collection of multiple Clyde Shipyards.
Really enjoying your channel. Would really appreciate you discussing how you store and prevent clothes moths given you have many garments in your shop and many that are vintage. Thanks for your insights and stories.
