In this third episode of The Fabric of a British Icon, Kirby Allison continues to explore the life and style of Winston Churchill by delving into the institutions and traditions that defined his legacy. Our journey begins at J.J. Fox, Churchill’s favorite cigar merchant, where we uncover the historical significance of this storied establishment and its role in Churchill’s lifelong passion for cigars.
Next, we travel to Chartwell House, Churchill’s cherished country retreat, where Simon Cundey of Henry Poole unveils a remarkable collection of Churchill’s uniforms, some over 100 years old. These garments offer a rare glimpse into the sartorial history and personal style of Britain’s legendary leader. Philip Reed, Director Emeritus of Churchill War Rooms, walks us through the historical significance of these garments, which are being shown to the public for the first time in this video!
The episode concludes back on Savile Row at Henry Poole with an elegant black-tie dinner celebrating the life, legacy, and unmistakable style of Winston Churchill. Through these iconic locations and moments, this episode continues to illuminate the unparalleled craftsmanship, quality, and tradition that shaped Churchill’s enduring image and character.
Join us as we pay tribute to the man behind the legacy, blending history, elegance, and the timeless art of British craftsmanship.
