I recently had my first proper look at the work of Nick Holland of Holland Esquire, a tailors marketing exquisite menswear. The tailoring is characterised by a strict attention to detail and a slightly dandy edge (slight; nothing too alarming). The designs feature hand-stitching, modern tweeds and fabrics, hand-crafted themed buttons and bright limited-edition contrasting jacket linings. There are various stockists of Nick's work and the whole collection is available online here.
Now Holland Esquire can be found in a pop up shop at Cube in London's Lambs Conduit Street. This is one of the best streets for specialist menswear shops in London and there is much to see to justify the journey. A visit will be further enlivened by the accompanying exhibition, “Here are a few of my favourite things”. This is a part of Nick Holland’s vast collection of wonderful rare objects, some of which are pictured here, which mirror themes found in the menswear collection.
The pop up is at Cube, 47 Lambs Conduit Street - see the map here.
