But what does that mean? I have always had a fascination with the British sporting pursuits and their customs and traditions. With such a rich history, there is so much to learn. But in today's modern society, does all of that tradition and history still remain relevant today? With those questions in my head, I started out on my journey to prepare for the shoot in Scotland. The first step was sorting out my shooting suit. Where better to start that journey than at Henry Poole & Co, the original founding tailors of Savile Row. Simon Cundey, the managing director was perfectly placed to give me the help and guidance I needed in order to pick the right suit.
