Be in Our Lookbook

A PERSONAL INVITATION FROM FAL BLAKE

We are making a new coffee table book, and thirty of its pages are reserved for our clients.

In 2019 our first lookbook placed our clients alongside the famous faces we have dressed. It became the book people pick up at dinner and never quite put back.

Now we are making the next one, and I would like you to be in it.

A bespoke suit, designed, cut and fitted for you
A professional photo shoot
Your story, written for your page
An invitation to the launch party and fashion show
Your own copy of the book

A £1,000 deposit reserves your page and goes towards your suit.

ONLY 30 SPACES AVAILABLE

IN GOOD COMPANY

The last book

“Gresham Blake is not just a superb tailor, he has that British pluck that helped us defeat the Nazis. He works to a brief with a bulldog precision. When I asked him to come up with a fusion of 1970’s James Bond and the Prince of Wales, he designed and built a powder blue safari suit which he entitled simply Roger Windsor, a bespoke bullseye!”

ALAN PARTRIDGE (STEVE COOGAN)

Thirty clients took a page last time, and they were the real stars. A few words from some of them.

“The expert tailors, passion and expertise took me from feeling like a mannequin to boldly bringing my best authentic self to any environment.”

DOUGLAS HAMANDISHE

Then a mental health clinician, now the Mayor of Rochester

“If clothes maketh a man, this man is part made Gresham Blake.”

TIM HOWARTH

Consulting partner, Brighton

“The clothes have made me feel absolutely fantastic, and that’s not easy when you’re 4ft 10 1/2 inches. I always feel smart, comfortable and special, suitable for getting on the bus or meeting royalty, or both.”

BARBARA WINDSOR

Also between the covers: Madness on the roof of Buckingham Palace, Ray Winstone, Tamer Hassan, a signed note from Jimmy Page (“Thanks Gresham, suited and booted”), and our Suits as Canvas project, where Banksy, Tracey Emin, Sam Taylor-Wood and the Chapman brothers painted white suits that sold at Sotheby’s for cancer research.

OUR STORY

The night it began

We launched the first book with a party at the Hard Rock Hotel. Steve Coogan introduced the night, and from there it was music, a room full of extraordinary suits and an afterparty that ran exactly as late as you would expect.

Then the world closed for a while. We adapted, we grew, and we came back stronger. It has been a busy few years, which is our excuse for leaving it this long.

One thing has not changed. Gresham and I started this as a family business, and we still run it like one. When you have something made with us, you do not just leave with a suit. You become part of the family.

This book is our way of celebrating those people.
