I found that the questions that you've put forward are very hard for me to form an opinion on, but I appreciate that you consider me as a style icon.

I have a special love of suede, whether it is a jacket or a pair of shoes, it's always my favorite. I used to have this suede jacket about 25-30 years ago in a dark brown color and I wore it for quite a long time. We all know that suede is hard to keep especially in moist climates (Editor's note: Andrew lives in Hong Kong). But I managed to maintain it quite well. However, I lost that jacket - moving houses perhaps. Then years ago, about 6 years, I was told that I could tailor-make it again with Dunhill, and I spent quite some money and time invested in this jacket. Unfortunately, it was so badly made that it didn't fit me at all, but I accepted it anyway and have worn it until today.

A few days ago, I was at the Dunhill shop and I found that for the Spring collection they have that same suede jacket again, and this time it was ready made. I especially like ready-made jackets, because you can try it and if you like it you can just pay for it and take it. But I tried it on, and it didn't fit me at all so I declined this time.

I hope that I will have a suede jacket once again, but I am not desperate for it now.
