Disclaimer: Joss and the "Queer Eye" folks own it: I'm just borrowing.

Distribution: Just ask!

Feedback: Oh dear lord, please. This is my first fic, and I need all the help I can get.

A/N: This fic was begun in response to a GilesRulesBaby list challenge: #19 Giles Goes Shopping. It turned out to go beyond the original parameters, somewhat.

I’m not the first to use the Fab Five to get Giles to spruce up. Oh well. It was the quickest way for Buffy to drop a big hint, and see if Giles could figure it out.

I hate to supply my story with a glossary, but these are things that Giles would know about. If necessary, subsequent chapters will have their own glossary.

Burlington Arcade, London: a sort of alley of very expensive shops that carry traditional fashions and expensive knick-knacks. I still think wistfully of the cashmere sweater I left behind there. It cost $600.

Saville Row and bespoke suits: Saville Row is a district in London containing many bespoke tailor shops. A bespoke suit is a suit made to the wearer’s instructions – he speaks his suit – hence, bespoke. The suits are sewn entirely by hand, and the shops are very exclusive establishments: you pretty much have to know someone to get accepted. Suits typically start around $5,000.

Thanks to the GRB list for inspiration and positive feedback! And many, many thanks to PhenDog, for the beta she did out of the goodness of her heart.
