Douglas Millings

Arnold "Dougie" Millings (30 July 1913, in Manchester – 20 September 2001, in London) was a London-based tailor known as "the Beatles' tailor".

Millings' shop was located on 63 Old Compton Street [1] in Soho and began designing for British pop stars such as Cliff Richard, Tommy Steele, and Adam Faith in the early 1960s and made the collarless suits the Beatles wore on their first American tour in 1964 as well as the stage suits for the movie Help!. Millings made more than 500 outfits for the band.[2]

Millings had a small part as a frustrated tailor in the movie A Hard Day's Night.

gollark: Krist as it stands does have some problems though, and in this I agree with Terra - there are a few people who had good GPUs and went in early when the block value was *fifty times* what it is now who own most of the economy.
gollark: I mean, I find that lots of people are willing to sell to me directly at really low prices if I actually ask directly.
gollark: There's only, what, one sell shop around, and there are large differences between buy/sell prices.
