A Royal Pedigree

Hunting is a sport that is popular with both the common man and those of royal peerage. When I'm on the hunt I'm looking for a few things, the first of which is quality, the second is price and the third is brand. Branding can sometimes be a little controversial. I'll be the first to say that many brands that command a heft price for their goods are simply not worth it. The quality, the craftsmanship and the attention to detail are often lacking and sometimes non-existent.

There are some brands that are synonymous with quality, craftsmanship and longevity.
Burberry is one of those brands. The label began in 1856 and by 1955 had earned an extensive Royal following. Burberry was awarded a Royal Warrant by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II 1955 and a second Royal Warrant was awarded to Burberry by HRH Price of Wales in 1989.

As you know by now, I am an avid hunter of high quality "trophies" - pieces that are timeless and well made. This is what I do and I am very good at it if I must say so myself. So when I came upon a pair of classic Burberry slacks I knew I had to have them. Of course, I had to adhere to my "very best for less" rule and that was not a problem in this instance. I can't think of a better quality pair of slacks to add to my wardrobe.
