“We’ve taken our inspiration from the idea of Sunday best, the idea of saving our best clothes for going to church on a Sunday, a tradition that’s almost completely gone away. Instead on Sundays we play football. So today we wear the stripes, hoops and chevrons of our local Sunday league team. Or if we happen to be the manager we wear a baggy suit and an anorak. All of this has inspired the Tautz SS17 collection,” Patrick Grant, E. Tautz designer.
