WHERE ARE WE BASED?

Our bespoke tailoring services are available at two locations: Brighton and London. Each store has a dedicated tailoring team which rotates between both stores, ensuring each customer receives the same high-quality experience in both places. You can choose for your initial consultation to be held in either Brighton or London and then have the fitting in the other.

STYLING YOUR SUIT

We want to ensure we get it right, so your tastes, interests and lifestyle will be discussed. This way, we can create a custom-made, bespoke design that reflects you and your style. Whether you are looking for a wedding suit, a business suit, or something for a formal occasion, our team of professionals is dedicated to creating the best possible garment for you.

CLOTH SELECTIONS

With thousands of fabrics available at our store, you are sure to find the perfect cloth for you. Whether you are looking for something lightweight, luxurious or textured, we have it all. We understand that selecting the right fabric can be tricky, so our team will guide you through the process. For those with a particular vision, we also offer a bespoke cloth design service, allowing you to create something entirely unique.

MEASUREMENTS

Once you have decided on your material and design, we will take your measurements and details on posture and physical frame to create a bespoke pattern for you. This whole process can take up to two hours, during which we will provide you with sufficient time to select the material and discuss the design.

WHAT NEXT?

If you have not ordered something urgent, the fitting will usually be ready 8 to 10 weeks after you place your order. The fitting is extremely important, as this is where we will make minor modifications to ensure the garment is perfect for you. It usually requires one or two fittings for you to be able to take your suit home. Our store in Brighton has an in-house workshop where we can make these adjustments quickly upon request.
