Custom clothing
Six things we make from scratch. Every one starts with your measurements and a cloth you have chosen yourself.
-
Measured, not guessed
Every garment starts from a full set of your own measurements, taken in person.
-
Hand-finished
Collars, lapels and buttonholes are finished by hand, not pressed flat by a machine.
-
Cloth you choose
Pick the weight, weave and colour from the swatch books before anything is cut.
-
Fittings until it is right
We fit, mark and adjust. The suit leaves when it fits, not when the clock says so.
Suits and black tie
The full suit
Two pieces, three pieces, or a dinner jacket. All cut from one cloth to one pattern drafted for you.
Two-piece suits
A jacket and trousers cut to your own measurements, in a cloth you choose. The everyday suit that actually fits across the shoulders and sits flat at the collar.
- Half or full canvas construction
- Working cuffs and your choice of lining
- Single or double breasted
Three-piece suits
The same suit with a matching waistcoat. It holds a cleaner line when the jacket comes off, which is why it is the usual choice for a wedding.
- Matching or contrast waistcoat
- Adjustable back strap
- Cut to sit under the jacket without bulk
Tuxedos and dinner jackets
Black tie made properly: satin or grosgrain facings, a covered waistband, and no belt loops. Cut so it still looks right when you sit down to dinner.
- Peak lapel or shawl collar
- Satin or grosgrain facing
- Matching braces and cummerbund available
Shirts and separates
Pieces on their own
Shirting, jackets and trousers made to work with what is already in your wardrobe.
Dress shirts
Collar, cuff and body measured to you, so the collar closes without gaping and the sleeve ends where it should. Made in two-fold cotton.
- Your collar shape and cuff style
- Sleeve length measured per arm
- Two-fold cotton and linen cloths
Blazers and sport coats
A softer, unstructured jacket for the days that are not quite a suit. Lighter in the shoulder, cut a little easier through the body.
- Unstructured or lightly padded shoulder
- Patch, flap or jetted pockets
- Wool, linen, cotton and tweed
Trousers
Trousers cut on their own, to wear with a jacket you already own or on their own. Pleated or flat front, finished with a turn-up if you want one.
- Flat front or pleated
- Side adjusters or belt loops
- Plain hem or turn-up
Not sure which of these you need?
Bring the occasion rather than the answer. We will tell you what actually suits it, and what it will involve.
