I recently announced the birth of my first child on my blog. My uncle ran a local mens formal wear shop where I worked at the weekends. At 14 he taught\u00a0me how to take up a pair of trousers and dress the mannequin in the window. I guess these early\u00a0influences may have ignited my interest in classic clothing. From here I enrolled in the local college to\u00a0study fashion where I discovered Alexander McQueen, who inspired me to apply for an apprenticeship\u00a0at Anderson &amp; Sheppard. Both I and my fianc\u00e9e are enjoying family\u00a0life.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.keikari.com\/english\/wp-content\/pictures\/2013\/03\/Interview_with_Karl_Matthews_at_Keikari_dot_com.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-461\" alt=\"Interview_with_Karl_Matthews_at_Keikari_dot_com\" src=\"http:\/\/www.keikari.com\/english\/wp-content\/pictures\/2013\/03\/Interview_with_Karl_Matthews_at_Keikari_dot_com.jpg\" width=\"248\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.keikari.com\/english\/wp-content\/pictures\/2013\/03\/Interview_with_Karl_Matthews_at_Keikari_dot_com.jpg 414w, https:\/\/www.keikari.com\/english\/wp-content\/pictures\/2013\/03\/Interview_with_Karl_Matthews_at_Keikari_dot_com-124x300.jpg 124w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 248px) 100vw, 248px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As the focus is on tailoring I will briefly sum up my background:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Joined Anderson &amp; Sheppard in 1998 as an apprentice<\/li>\n<li>Trained under the late Alan Pitt, Mauro Vito Calo (Now at Richard Anderson), Paul Griffiths\u00a0(English Cut), John Hitchcock (Anderson &amp; Sheppard MD)<\/li>\n<li>One of the only people in Savile Row to do every element of the business.

All these experiences have made me the tailor I am today.\u00a0When I joined there was no plan, I soon became engrossed in the world of bespoke tailoring,\u00a0knowing I was working with one the most prestigious tailoring house in the world, I loved the atmosphere\u00a0and buzz of the street. Every house has its own secret with Anderson &amp; Sheppard\u2019s being its softness\u00a0and drape.
