Bespoke.
Entirely yours.

Every commission starts with you: what you want to wear, where you will wear it and how you want to feel. Bring a reference image, a favourite garment or simply an idea. Together, we establish the direction before making any design decisions.

• Discuss your occasion, lifestyle and wardrobe.
• Share your preferred silhouette and level of formality.
• Review your budget and any important event date.

Look at the fabric in more than one way. Touch it, drape it and compare it in the light. Colour matters, but so do texture, weight and composition. The selected cloth should support the purpose of your garment and the way you intend to use it.

• Browse the available cloth books and varieties.
• Compare plains, stripes, checks and textures.
• Confirm the selected cloth and its availability.

Turn the first idea into a coherent design. Jacket style, lapel shape, pockets, lining and trouser details are considered together. A restrained detail can be just as personal as a bold one; the aim is a garment whose proportions and character feel like you.

• Choose the garment style and jacket closure.
• Discuss lapels, pockets, buttons and lining.
• Confirm trouser shape, waist treatment and hem preference.

Measurements describe size; posture and movement help explain fit. The tailor considers the balance of the shoulders, chest, waist, arms and trousers, along with your natural stance and the ease you prefer. These observations guide the garment’s proportions.

• Record the measurements relevant to your garment.
• Observe posture, shoulder balance and natural movement.
• Discuss comfort, preferred ease and how you usually wear a suit.

The chosen design and fitting information are translated into pattern preparation and a cutting plan. The tailor considers the shape of the pieces, the cloth’s grain and how a stripe or check will sit across the finished garment. Careful preparation establishes the direction for everything that follows.

• Plan the silhouette and garment proportions.
• Consider grain, pattern direction and visible alignment.
• Prepare the pieces for the selected design and construction.

The cutting table is where the cloth begins to become a garment. Pieces are laid out and marked, with attention to the weave, pattern placement and the room needed for fitting adjustments. Once the cutting plan is ready, the pieces are cut and prepared for assembly.

• Position and mark the garment pieces on the cloth.
• Consider pattern placement across visible areas.
• Prepare cloth, lining and the necessary internal components.

The separate pieces are brought together so the garment can be assessed on the body. Early assembly makes the intended silhouette visible and gives the tailor a practical starting point for the fitting. The appearance at this stage is part of the working process, rather than the final finish.

• Build the initial garment shape.
• Prepare the garment for assessment and adjustment.
• Check the relationship between the main pieces.

Now the garment is assessed on you. The tailor checks balance, length, movement and the way the cloth hangs. You can explain what feels comfortable and what you would like to refine. This conversation between the wearer and the garment is central to the fitting process.

• Assess shoulders, collar, chest and waist.
• Check sleeve and trouser proportions.
• Move naturally and discuss comfort with the tailor.

Observations from the fitting guide the next round of work. Shape and proportion are refined, and the garment progresses toward its chosen finish. Adjustments are considered as a whole: a change in one area can affect the way another area sits or moves.

• Translate fitting observations into adjustments.
• Revisit balance, ease and the intended silhouette.
• Progress the garment’s construction and detail work.

A follow-up fitting allows the refinements to be assessed as the garment approaches completion. The tailor checks the details against your natural stance and intended use. The number and sequence of fittings depend on the garment and the work required; your schedule is discussed during consultation.

• Review the changes made after the earlier fitting.
• Check the garment with the intended shirt and shoes where relevant.
• Confirm any remaining refinements before finishing.

The final character emerges through the finish. Buttons, buttonholes, lining, seams and edges are reviewed, then pressing helps establish the garment’s intended shape. The details are assessed together so the finished piece feels considered from the inside as well as the outside.

• Review visible details and the garment’s interior.
• Check button placement, hems and finishing.
• Press and prepare the garment for its final assessment.

The completed garment is tried on and reviewed with you. Fit, comfort and the agreed details are checked once more. You leave with guidance on wearing, hanging and caring for the garment, along with an understanding of how to discuss future fit changes with the team.

• Review the final fit and agreed design details.
• Discuss care appropriate to the selected cloth.
• Ask about future wardrobe additions or fit changes.
