MURPHY SUITED AND BOOTED

MURPHY SUITED AND BOOTED

Whatever arrangement Shaun Murphy has with his new tailors Owen Scott, it seems to be delivering for all parties. The way these things work it is highly unlikely that the 2005 world champion paid much if anything for the bespoke suit worn in his first-round win over Jamie Cope, a Twenties-style number that drew references to the Great Gatsby. With shops in Huddersfield, Leeds and Savile Row the outfitter has a growing number of celebrity clients and with the help of coverage on the BBC and Murphy’s web site and Twitter page more are likely to follow, with reports they have been inundated with requests for fittings. The BBC’s Jason Mohammad is understood to be just one taken with the designs.
