Keeping you stylish in all weathers

Tailor’s Notes
A sharply cut sports jacket from lambswool we have made with a storm collar fastener tucked away behind the lapel. This allows you to button up all the way to the neck when the weather turns the wrong way…..and still look stylish at the same time. This single breasted two-button jacket is made from a glorious petrol blue herringbone – a colour which suits all seasons and can stand all the elements.

The Construction
Made from a pure lambswool , this jacket was made and cut in England. As much of it as possible was hand-tailored. A suit such as this takes 8-9 weeks to make, unless you opt for our Express Service. We have a halfway baste fitting and then a forward baste fitting before the suit is finished and delivered.

Details
The cloth is from Harrisons of Edinburgh, with horn buttons supplied by Bernstein & Banleys in Southend. Whilst the jacket is a bespoke item which takes 8-10 weeks to make, the shirt can be ordered from our ready to wear shirt collection in collar sizes: 15, 15.5, 16, 16.5 and 17 inches.

Made to be Played In

Tailor’s Notes
If you don’t already own a well-fitting sports jacket, it should be the first thing you invest in. Do it right and you’ll look as sharp and dapper as anyone. Just remember: it’s called a sports jacket for a reason—it’s meant for play. It doesn’t need a special occasion, and it doesn’t need to match anything.

A suit such as this takes 8-9 weeks to make, unless you opt for our Express Service. We have a halfway baste fitting and then a forward baste fitting before the suit is finished and delivered.

A Soft Touch

Tailor’s Notes
A soft velvet blazer shows you’ve got serious style, and it’s impossible not to touch, caress, and lean into. Velvet outerwear, trousers, and even sneakers have been slowly making their way back into the wardrobe. The plush fabric can now be worn day or night, and juxtaposed with anything from formal attire to jeans and a shirt.

A Bespoke Nehru Jacket

Tailor’s Notes
The Nehru suit is never out of style. It’s a sleek, modern look that seems appropriate in today’s tieless world. Since this jacket shows virtually nothing else, it’s important that it be well tailored and fit impeccably. You could wear a banded collar, but the classic accompaniment to a Nehru suit is a turtleneck. No tie is necessary. Forget the bolo. Save it for your Nudie suit.

The Construction
Made from a heavy ‘boiled’ wool, the jacket was made and cut in England. As much of the jacket as possible is hand tailored. As with every jacket we make, unless you choose our Express service, the jacket will take 8-9 weeks to make – we have a half way baste fitting and then a forward baste fitting before the jacket is finished and delivered.

Details
The cloth was from an English mill near Bradford and the jacket was made with rolled cuffs.
