I now offer both Made to Measure and Bespoke Suits.
See examples of my work below to show you the variety,
quality and style of my tailoring.

Bespoke and Made to Measure Suits

Bespoke tailoring is slow fashion. It gives you the opportunity to get exactly the look you want with a cut and fit of careful refinement in wonderful quality cloth. The clothes get better with age and will last a lifetime. They elevate and bring luxury and pleasure to your life.

Made to Measure is a great alternative if you are looking for a generally well fitted beautiful suit.

2015

A rare, 3 button bespoke suit in grey Birdseye worsted wool. Time and thought went into perfecting it’s quietly stylish look. In the language of tailoring it subtly communicates confidence and discretion allowing the wearer to be unobtrusive at the centre of action.

2012

A much worn, blue cotton drill Made to Measure suit. It is very useful and with just the right sort of smartness for an upmarket dealer of astonishing 2nd hand cars.

The most wonderful, supple and heavy dove grey linen suit with pistachio green buttonholes. A present from his wife.

2015

Blue mohair. A Made to Measure suit that’s fun and contemporary, not too conventional but smart nonetheless.

2014

From the mill that invented Khaki serge, produced the Scarlet cloth worn by British soldiers at Waterloo and supplies the material which covers the Woolsack this is their 22oz navy Barathea. Very hardwearing and warm this is the perfect cloth for the slightly rebellious customer who doesn’t want to look too conservative.

2015

This was made for one of my most refined and elegant customers. There is usually a lot of talk about details which we gradually eliminate simply allowing the cut and cloth to speak for themselves. This smoking jacket is made in beautiful soft and luxurious velvet which needs careful looking after as it is precious.

2016

A gorgeous smoking jacket made from very expensive and sumptuous silk velvet trimmed with a silk satin shawl collar and handmade frogging. This is difficult to make and requires a light touch from a highly skilled tailor. I am lucky to work with one of the top tailors in London who I can trust to do the job perfectly. With the convenience of phone cameras I can now take a few snaps at the fittings and then discuss with him what needs to be corrected. I really enjoy the collaboration that is essential in creating each new suit.

1987

A wonderful bespoke Dinner jacket which is 30 years old (note the lower gorge where collar meets lapel – influence of Armani’s relaxed style of the 80’s). It was expensive at the time but well worth paying for such excellence. The silk satin lapels still gleam with quality and the heavy black barathea has not faded. It’s still amazingly classy.

1988

A blue summer suit. This is a good example of the brilliant way bespoke tailoring increases in charm with the years. I love the way this has aged. In particular I love the way the prick stitching ripples along the edges of the lapel and down the front. You can see the life in it and character that has developed from the 30 years of wear and all the hours of hand tailoring (about 70) it took to make it.

1989

Nearly 30 years old and perhaps looking a bit tired and neglected. The customer went off this suit after a misplaced negative remark. There are not many 3 button and/or pinstripe suits around. I think it’s time for a revival.

2010

Beautiful stone coloured Irish linen with mother of pearl buttons. Made for a 50th birthday celebration. Patch pockets with pleats and flaps. Pale colours mean special care has to be taken to keep everything spotless and extra appreciation must be given to the tailors.

2004

Fine French cotton gabardine. This customer is a connoisseur and has an extensive collection of nearly identical shirts and ties. He wanted swell stitch on lapels, slanted pockets and raised seams on trousers. Many fittings were required to get this suit right and it was a difficult cloth to make as it has no give and shows every adjustment. He wears this suit for summer parties and school speech days.

2007

Spectacular sapphire blue wool and mohair. It confers glamour to wearer.

2008

Steel grey, wool and mohair. The wonderful springy, lustrous qualities of this cloth help to create a very flattering and sharp silhouette and the suit will always look smart.

2010

Medium weight Huddersfield worsted wool in Glen check. From one of my regular customers who has many single breasted suits. He knows exactly how he wants to look and pays great attention to the silhouette. We can spin out a discussion about trouser length and width for hours and love to over analyse what makes a perfect tie.

2010

Black moleskin. Given as a Christmas present by his loved one. The brief was to make a suit for a non-wearing suit person that would work equally well in the country as in London and was not tweed. From Broads to Boardroom.

2008

This is the second Norfolk jacket I have made for my customer. He provided the tweed which is his Estate tweed and ordered Plus 8s, Plus 2s and a waistcoat. There are many pieces that make up the jacket with pockets everywhere and every check has to be matched. The whole look is fantastic and is totally fit for purpose.

2009

This tweed was bought in a shop like a tweed cave on the Isle of Harris. It was in a huge collection of tweed that had been rescued from a company that had been bought by a not very sympathetic person. The tweed width is narrow because it is woven by people in their homes on looms narrow enough to fit in their living rooms.

2007

The cloth is a mixture of silk, linen, cotton and wool, made in France. This is a very elegant suit for an elegant man who does not like attracting attention. It is perfect for any occasion in the warmer months.
