The Consultation

Be it sophisticated, charismatic, flamboyant, or conservative, we’re all different. It’s our job to get on your level and tailor your attire to reflect your personality.

First of all we will sit down together and talk about what you have in mind, what the garment is for, where it’s going to be worn, your budget and preference in terms of styling.

Then we select the right cloth and lining; if you want a suit that is light and luxurious, but not to be worn often, perhaps a worsted Super 120’s with cashmere in a grey pinstripe will hit the spot. Or for something that will stand the test of time, a wonderfully rich 15oz Hopstack fresh from the looms of Huddersfield. A corporate environment might mean a plain cloth is the order of the day, but you can always spice things up with a bright satin or silk lining and that’s before we add the personal touches.

Next the style, cut and finer details; if you’re a traditionalist you might go for a classic double breasted ‘button 2 show 3’ with side vents and two forward pleats on the trousers. If you have a more modern outlook you might want a closely fitted, single breasted ‘button 2’ with peak lapels, working cuffs, coloured button holes to match the lining of the jacket and flat fronted trousers with strap and buckle side adjusters.

If this makes no sense to you now, don’t worry. By the time were finished you’ll understand all this and much more besides.

Measuring Up

Out comes the tape-measure and 16 measurements later we are armed with everything we need to start making your suit.

First Fitting, Forward Fitting and Delivery

Three weeks later your first fitting or “try-on” is ready. At this stage it’s a very basic level of construction, but allows us to check the balance of the garment and fine tune key parts of the customers bespoke pattern.

A further three weeks after that, a "forward fitting" is provided. This is where everything is in place (both sleeves are in, all the internal canvases, fuseables, pads, linings are in situ) except the button holes and collar. Minor tweaks might then be made, and two weeks later, the suit is ready to
