Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.How to get men keen on fashion? Savile Row suits which could make even the most dramatically scruffy men (ahem) feel like James Bond? Or shoes which make the wearers feel like Daniel Craig on the red carpet? But no: we men like brum brum! A shiny car – that’ll do it.
Mercedes-Benz has teamed up with London tailor Nick Hart of Spencer Hart to tailor a Merc CLS 63 AMG Shooting Brake like a matinee idol. It was unveiled at Spencer Hart’s London Collections: Men show yesterday. Hart’s tailoring of the car involved no crotch cupping, but instead the addition of custom-blended paint; chocolate brown Italian leather seats with the Spencer Hart logo (with Midnight Blue stitching no less!) and Nick Hart’s signature on the car’s main console. Fancy.
The non-couture CLS Shooting Brake costs £83,000. The price of Hart’s version is available “on request” ie, a few grand more.
You’d be better spending the difference on one of his suits.
