Holland & Holland is an old house founded by Harris Holland in 1835. Harris was actually a very talented shot at his time and he got convinced by his peers to start his own gun business. He then started manufacturing his own guns around 1850s. Holland & Holland on Bruton Street London is now one of the most prestigious gun manufacturer and reseller in the world.

Yet, we’re not promoting gun usage here but the exclusiveness of the gun is part of elegance of the traditional British hunter. As you can see on the video, Holland & Holland then diversified their businesses with the launch of tailoring (even bespoke tailoring) activities to dress and fit out their clients in addition to selling unique guns for game shooting.

4. Don’t be pretentious or racist or sexist or judge people by their background.
5. A man should never wear shorts in the city. Flip-flops and shorts in the city are never appropriate. Shorts should only be worn on the tennis court or on the beach. Read the rest of this entry »
