Stewart Christie & Co. welcomed the returning cast of the Trainspotting sequel, to be fitted for suits in the shop
Last sunny, Sunday evening in the heart of the Scottish capital, Stewart Christie & Co, Scotland's oldest bespoke tailors, welcomed the returning cast of the Trainspotting sequel, an historic alignment of two Edinburgh origin stories.
Trainspotting, Danny Boyle's vision of Irvine Welsh's seminal classic, became a Scottish cultural phenomenon spanning two decades, while Stewart Christie & Co have been forging an enduring legacy for 300 years.
The Stewart Christie team were proud to host three of Britain's finest acting talents in a private bespoke suit fitting. After all where else would three of Danny Boyle's cast members come to be suitably attired? It is rare to find Ewan McGregor, Ewen Bremner & Jonny Lee Miller in the same place outside of filming and it was a pleasure to meet them, we're very excited to create some unique pieces for them.
The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly as we helped them choose some truly wonderful cloths for their suits. We were interested to hear the progress of their most recent project, Trainspotting 2, which is currently being filmed in Scotland and they listened intently as we shared with them our ethos; working closely with local suppliers and makers all of our products made within the UK and many within Scotland. We all agreed that supporting skilled workers within our own country is so important and why go elsewhere when you can have the finest of things made on your own doorstep.
Mr. Bremner, Mr. McGregor and Mr. Miller all readily accepted our exclusive invitation to become members of our Gentleman's Club which already includes some of the country's most interesting gentlemen.
If you would like to book an appointment for your own made to measure suit, please contact us on info@stewartchrisie.com call us on 0131 225 6639 or pop into our shop at 63 Queen Street, Edinburgh.
