If you walk down Savile Row today, you will not miss number 40. Among the Guard of Honour-style line-up of mannequin busts in beautifully cut blazers, a sartorial rebellion is taking place.
I come face to face with a mammoth, multi-coloured patchwork bomber jacket with Gieves & Hawkes behind me, tailors whose flagship has stood at 1 Savile Row since 1912. The comic proportions of this garment fill the window.
