english cut predictions for 2006

yyyyyyy765125.jpg
My pre­dic­tions for English Cut in 2006 are:

1. Tom will spend a lot less time on Savile Row, more time in Cum­bria. This will allow him more time to spend cut­ting suits, and more time loo­king after his Ame­ri­can cus­to­mers, at the expense of his Lon­don base.
2. Tom will cut back the num­ber of suits he makes by at least a third.
3. English Cut will have a six-month wai­ting list for new cus­to­mers by Year’s End.
4. Expen­sive hand­made shirts will become the main pro­fit dri­ver by Year’s End.
5. English Cut will be approached by at least six poten­tial large inves­tors wan­ting a piece of the action. At least four will be tur­ned down.

One or two of these pre­dic­tions will be wrong. Or at the very least, twelve months will prove not to be enough time to imple­ment them.
