Savile Row to Obama, Romney: Trade Golf Shirts for Vests and Ties

It's hard to understand why the 2012 presidential candidates are dressing down given the prestige of the office at stake, Wendy Jones of Savile Row in Clayton told FOX 2.

Presidential candidates Barack Obama and Mitt Romney should consider donning vests and ties instead of golf shirts and mom jeans, a representative of Clayton clothier Savile Row told FOX 2. Quoting from the FOX 2 video: "We are not understanding why our candidates are dressing down," said Wendy Jones of Savile Row in Clayton. "If it is to become one of the people, they're not one of the people. They're going for the largest office in our country and therefore they should be portraying themselves in that light." Watch the attached video to hear Jones' recommendations for dressing to impress on the campaign trail or click for more information. More about the 2012 election on Patch:

After 28 Years, Clothing Store Returns to Clayton

Savile Row owner David Shockley opened his first store in the area nearly three decades ago.

Custom clothier and shirtmaker Savile Row has returned to its roots with a new location that opened May 8 in Clayton. The dress clothes tailor had previously been in Ladue, but owner David Shockley said his first store was actually stationed across the street from his new one, albeit nearly 28 years ago. He said he is enjoying the new store’s proximity to Clayton’s bustling business scene. “We like it. It’s got a lot of good visibility and some better foot traffic,” he said. “It’s fun being part of the Clayton community.” Located at 8101 Maryland Ave., the business crafts made-to-order tuxedos, suits, sport coats, dress shirts and trousers that accommodate a range of clients, said Wendy Jones, custom clothier for Savile Row.
