In the movie
Colin Firth plays a
James Bond-like
'Kingsman' espionage agent
'Harry Hart', code-named
'Galahad'. During a mission in the
Middle East in 1997 a fellow agent was killed saving the team and
Harry tells his widow if she ever needs help, for her or her son, to call him.
Fast-forward several years and a grownup
'Gary "Eggsy" Unwin' is an unemployed, aimless youth getting into trouble with the cops. After being arrested for stealing a car he calls
Harry for help and is introduced the secret world of international espionage,
Saville Row tailored suits, evil masterminds and bullet-proof umbrellas.

in Kingsman: The Secret Service
Feeling like he owes his father a debt,
Galahad suggests that
Eggsy would be a great candidate for
Kingsman training.
Galahad believes
"The suit is a modern gentleman's armour. And the Kingsman agents are the new knights", and that's why he's always impeccably dressed in the movie, sporting classic
British gentleman's attire.

Oxford shoes when he goes on his mission at the end of the movie to stop
'Valentine's' (Samuel L. Jackson) world domination plans.
