Brychan on his hunting suit...

The first thing that grabs your attention when you open this closet is the hunting outfit. Take this coat, feel the weight on that.

It is heavy isn't it.

I'm not going to say how much I spent on it, but that's the most expensive item I own. It's wool so it's warm, and it's thick enough when it's raining - although you can imagine how heavy it is then! And another good thing about it is that it's gathered at the waist which shows off your figure nicely. But it also flares open towards the bottom, making it comfortable to ride in. I think this waistcoat belonged to my grandfather originally. I'm not sure, but I'm not going to let a little thing like that ruin a perfectly good story!

Brychan on suits...

Every time I wear this suit, people come up to me and say, "Eh lad, lovely suit, where did you get it?" and when I tell them the truth, which is from Cardigan, nobody believes me! But there's something very satisfying about wearing a suit like this to something like the BAFTAs in Cardiff, mingling with high society and the cream of the media world, and still receive compliments about my suit.

In spite of your numerous successes, you'll always be Brychan from Jess to me. Have you kept any of your clothes from your rock star phase?

Yes, I always keep clothes because they hold so many memories. This, for example, was made especially for me. What does it say about me? Probably nothing more than I'm wild enough to wear skintight red lycra! This is so tight you can't wear any pants underneath it, so some parts of your body are extremely obvious!
