SUMMER 2014
WE ARE FAMILY Just what is it that makes my trousers so different, so appealing? Well I’ll tell you what it is - “character” is what. When you shop with me you get something different, something that is not available elsewhere on the high street or online, and that is no accident. I have gathered around me the finest team of designers, artists, buyers, boffins, warehouse men and women, telephonists and a bonkers book-keeper Anne who deserves a mention as she is always overlooked.

I always love to hear from Peter Christian customers so feel free to email me at: lordtrousers@ peterchristian.co.uk. I’ve also been dabbling with this new fangled “social media” recently. Why not see what I’ve got to say on Facebook and Twitter (@LordTrousers).
Businesses boast of being a “family” business, well ours is a four family business. As well as my wife and first born son, most of our talent has been recruited from the families of someone who already worked here. They all have a splendid attitude to their work and to the service we provide. Our overriding ethos is to treat our customer as we would wish to be treated ourselves which means that you get the best possible attention as we all like “getting the good treatment”. All this has not gone unnoticed as last month we collected the ECMOD industry award for Best Menswear Brand in Britain. They loved our colourful kit, our integrity, our idiosyncratic catalogue and word had reached them about our outstanding service. So leave the ordinary to the grey men, step into the sunlight and shop at Peter Christian for added colour and character, with us you get a brand not a bland! Pip pip,

THE
LINEN SUIT
Snap Brim Panama Hat Page 30
Looking cool and feeling cool don’t always go hand in hand but you can be assured of both in our elegantly relaxed Linen Suit.
In the past suits were almost always tailor made and doctors and surgeons would need to roll up their sleeves when poking around our body parts, leading to the working cuff sometimes being referred to as a “surgeon’s cuff ”. Nowadays surgeons wear ghastly green “scrubs” and the working cuff is largely redundant but you can impress your missus when you roll up your sleeves to tackle the washing up!
