Duncan Quinn The Gentleman Rogue On Custom Suits
Duncan Quinn The Gentleman Rogue On Custom Suits
Here is another good Custom Suit video for those cats out there looking to step it up into to the beautiful world of The International Playboy.
I have never had Duncan Quinn make me a Custom Suit, however, I dig his steez. Down with the 60’s Michael Caine influence.
I have also visited his shop in Los Angeles. Never the NYC shop or the Miami shop. On my list.

INKING DUNCAN QUINN
BY GRAHAM SMITH
Life + TImes: There’s a very dangerous aspect to your clothing. Where does this come from?
Duncan Quinn: I suspect the edge lies in the underlying inspirations for everything I do…Michael Caine’s great and iconic movies from the 1960′s, Ian Fleming’s James Bond, The Who, The Clash, The Jam, The Rolling Stones and The Sex Pistols, but probably also having grown up with a father who hails from post-war Glasgow and was in the Flying Squad at Scotland Yard, as well as a guy in France who taught me about wine, food and life and who left home several days a week in the small hours with two loaded .45 automatics.
L+T: Who are your top three — living, dead or fictional — style icons?
DQ: Jack Carter: How could you not love the man who said, “You’re a big man, but you’re in bad shape. With me it’s a full time job. Now behave yourself.” He was hard as nails and dressed to kill. Literally. Steve McQueen: He was just a real man’s man. Cars, bikes, booze and cigarettes all wrapped up in clothing that fitted his aura so well it created an icon. Enzo Ferrari: He was probably responsible for the largest number of iconic and beautifully crafted motor vehicles since the creation of the internal combustion engine. His creations have already stood the test of time and are influential on anyone and everyone who loves beautiful feats of engineering today. Try putting a 250 GTO in a room and keeping people away from it.
L+T: If you could give one tip to the stylistically challenged, what would It be?
DQ: Find your style, which is that which you feel comfortable with, not someone else’s. Then turn the volume up a little on the things that make you “you,” whether it is yellow socks or bright green oversize glasses. Then you’ll have your own style. And no matter what you rock you’ll feel confident and thus look amazing.
L+T: Do you believe ZZ-Top was correct when they sang, “Every girl’s crazy about a sharp dressed man?”
DQ: Absolutely without a question of a doubt. Which is why we always joke that our suits come with a “get laid guarantee.” It has never failed.

sorry, but i think the whole thing about caine in get carter was that he was not over the top about it. those pickles in the pics with the hardware look a bit fluff. plus i have heard that dq is a bit of a dick.
mpm, give him a look and then check lord willys round the corner.

G,
Do you prefer to get more of your suits from London or from Italy or from America?
Where would you recommend a young up and coming G get his first custom suit from?
