Off the cuff

I've now been the Manager of the T.M.Lewin Edinburgh store for around three and a half years, and I'd like to introduce you to one of our regulars - Michael Munro-Dunn - who might just be Britain's best dressed man!

By which I mean, Mr Munro-Dunn is one of the contenders to win Esquire's 'Britain's Best Dressed Man' competition. He is one of the six finalists as revealed in the September issue of the magazine, with the eventual winner being unveiled in the October issue. Here's the picture of Mr Munro-Dunn as appears on the Esquire website:

Since opening our store Mr Munro-Dunn has been one of our most frequent and enthusiastic shoppers. He is a true ambassador for our brand and for sharp, sartorial dressing.

Some months ago he came into our store to say he been approached by journalists from Esquire magazine on a street near to our store. After a short interview and some photographs, he found, to his surprise, that he’d been nominated as one of Britain's best dressed men.

Mr Munro-Dunn expressed his appreciation of our brand among others, and the necessity to wear good quality garments. Following this accolade he has been approached by stores, newspapers and even television.

Scottish Television approached Mr Munro-Dunn to consider making a short film for The Hour show, broadcast around Scotland and online every evening at 5pm. He agreed, and with STV he put together a piece based on a make-over of a young IT consultant who agreed to be transformed from ‘skater scruff’ to ‘well groomed gentleman’ (click on the image to watch the full video).

The filming took about an hour in our store with very few re-takes (old pros) and I’m sure you’ll agree we looked fabulous on screen (we as in the T.M.Lewin brand, of course).

I’d like to thank Mr Munro-Dunn and STV for allowing us to be involved in the film, we all had a great day – I, however, won’t give up my day job just yet!
