THE BESPOKE EXPERIENCE

Unique garments, handmade on Savile Row.

THE GARMENT

Quite possibly the most personal thing you can have made. An individual paper pattern is created by our Head Cutter and, over a period of some fifty man-hours, your garment is pieced together and finished by hand.

THE CUTTER'S EYE

With bespoke, we can advise, but you are central to the process. The result is a garment that will naturally reveal something of your character and fit exactly as you want it to.

"We wanted to make Savile Row sexy and exciting. We’ve always respected its history and craftsmanship, but we have just done so in our own way. "

RICHARD JAMES, NOVEMBER 2017

OUR FIRST MEETING

On your first visit we help you select your cloth and determine the style and detail of your garment. You are then measured, so we can create your paper pattern. If you are not sure what you want, we can help you decide. We make suits, jackets, overcoats, evening wear… The best results are achieved through collaboration. You won’t be difficult. We don’t have difficult customers.

YOUR FIRST FITTING

Referred to as the baste fitting, this is the moment when we see your garment on you for the first time and make any necessary adjustments. The garment is then stripped down, re-marked and re-sewn ready for either a second fitting or finishing. Second fittings are the norm for a new customer, but are unusual for returning customers.

FINAL ADJUSTMENTS & COLLECTION

This is when you try on your garment and we check that any adjustments made as a result of your previous fitting are correct. If everything is as you want it, you can take your garment away with you. If any further adjustments are required, they are quickly made ahead of collection.
