MP's tall order

Shropshire's Daniel Kawczynski is proving to be a model MP with an appearance in the most recent catalogue for High and Mighty - specialists in attire for the taller man.

The 6ft 8in politician agreed to show off the chain's Henry Tudor classic suits in return for sponsorship for his marathon bid.

The company will be donating £2,000 towards Mr Kawczynski's campaign to raise cash for the Friends of the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital.

Many of the country's top high street brands have called in famous faces to help boost sales but High and Mighty maintains it is real people with the right statistics they look to include.

The 36-year-old Shrewsbury MP originally contacted them back in 1994 when he did his first stint of modelling for the brand.

"At High and Mighty, we like to use 'real' people as our clothes are designed for big and tall men," said spokeswoman Jo Papworth.

"We mention in our brochure to contact us if you're tall or big for possible inclusion in our brochures. Daniel was a customer of ours and back in 1994 he contacted us.

"For our current Autumn/Winter 07 brochure, Daniel contacted us again asking if he could model for us in return for sponsorship money to run the London Marathon on behalf of the Friends of the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital.

"We were happy to oblige." The father-of-one models the Henry Tudor Collection in a series of impressive pictures for the new catalogue.

The collection is described as a range of sophisticated, high quality precision tailoring that combines innovative techniques with timeless style.

"I first modelled for a High and Mighty catalogue back in 1994 when I was a student," said Mr Kawczynski.

"This time it was all for charity. I did the modelling in return for a £2,000 donation to the Friends of Royal Shrewsbury Hospital," he added.
