A Summer Wedding and the all-British Father of the Bride

My daughter is getting married this summer. She has a beautiful dress (not that I've been allowed to see it) and Mrs Grey Fox is also going to look stunning. Not to be outdone, I'm determined to wear British-made from top to toe in my role as Father of the Bride. It will be a traditional wedding, so it will be morning attire for the gentlemen.

I write much about British-made products on this blog so it's only natural that I should want to wear British-manufactured menswear. It's a very special event, so I've decided to have the morning coat and trousers made for me. I've selected a tailor and will follow the tailoring process in future features.

I'll also be looking for UK-made shirt, shoes, tie, waistcoat to socks and underwear. It should be no problem putting together a British outfit. Follow my Father of the Bride adventures in future posts on the blog. If you supply British-made menswear and can help, do get in touch.
