Bespoke Suits
Our bespoke suits require 12-15 weeks of meticulous handcraftsmanship, involving 60-80 hours of tailoring. Each garment begins with comprehensive measurements and multiple fittings to ensure perfect fit. Clients select from extensive fabric collections and design options, creating truly unique garments that reflect personal style and occasion requirements.
Made-to-Measure
This service offers tailored suits with reduced lead time of 8-10 weeks. While using pre-existing patterns, we incorporate custom adjustments for fit and style. Clients benefit from Savile Row quality with fewer fittings, making it ideal for those with time constraints but maintaining exceptional craftsmanship standards.
Wedding Suits
Specialising in wedding attire since 1876, we create perfect garments for grooms, fathers-of-the-bride, and wedding guests. Our tailors guide clients through style selection, ensuring garments complement wedding themes while maintaining timeless elegance. The process includes multiple fittings and custom adjustments for flawless results.
Suit Hire
Luxury suit hire service offers tailored options for special occasions. Garments undergo custom alterations to ensure perfect fit despite being hired. Ideal for weddings, black-tie events, and formal occasions where quality matters but permanent ownership isn't required, with expert styling advice included.
Tailored Shirts
Handmade tailored shirts start at 220 plus VAT, requiring three initial orders for pattern creation. Each shirt receives meticulous attention to detail, with fabric selection and measurements ensuring perfect fit. The process combines traditional techniques with modern materials for exceptional comfort and appearance.
