David Niven, as the Elusive Pimpernel,in the sauna room at Boodles, is visited by his tailor. HRH the Prince then arrives, and the Pimpernal passes judgement on the tailoring of his jacket. The Pimpernel story is fictional, but this vignette, concerning a clotheshorse telling a Prince what to wear, is clearly based on Beau Brummel.
Oh no not that again. "Look at this sir! What sir?! This sir!" XD

it's irony. passing judgement on a tailored jacket while draped in a sheet/unsewn fabric.

David Niven does a marvelous homage to Leslie Howard's performance as Percy - but in togas? What is this from? Jolly fun though, what?
