In light of our recent move to Cheltenham House we thought it was high time we looked at the opening hours too. One of the reasons for the move was to get more flexibility over our hours and to better serve our clients.

From the feedback over the last few weeks and reviewing the bookings we have taken we have updated our opening hours as below

Although we always favour a timeless style its important to not stand still. Whilst we aim for a look and a style that transcends time we also consistently look for improvements. Its in our nature.

With this in mind we felt it was time to give our patch pockets a bit of a reworking. The previous shape was very much an older English style with a pretty square pocket with rounded edges.

This has been updated to a more rounded shape, curving in towards the mouth of the pocket. The rear of the pocket is also raised giving a slight tilt towards the front. Overall is a more modern shape and with its roots in the Neapolitan style.

One of the questions we are often asked by clients when they are selecting cloth is “have you got anything made up that i can look at?” We keep around 20 suits and jackets in stock in different sizes, mainly to assess fit and posture. But we ensure they are also styled slightly different to show all the possibilities available. We also have all our current works going through and items for fittings at various stages. So at any one time we can have upwards of 30 different garments to show people. But its still not enough.

Racegoers will be looking sharp at the premiere jump racing meet.

In a little over 2 months time Cheltenham Races will be here - so its time to start thinking about your wardrobe for the best jump meet around..

Christmas is a great time of year. So much going on, lots of family to see and lots of fun to be had. We believe its a time to spend with the nearest and dearest and to take some much needed rest and recuperation. That coupled with the fact that its usually pretty quiet in the tailoring trade means we will be taking a short break.

We love suits, we really do. And the people that know us know how passionate we are about bespoke suits. So it is with great pleasure that we are able to offer a truly knockout suit at a truly knockout price, without a single compromise being made. Just not for long!

We have manged to secure a limited amount of Dugdale Brothers excellent grey hopsack from the “English and Town Classics” bunch and are able to offer it at an utterly fantastic price.

If there is one thing that can hold back a gents wardrobe development its colour, or rather a lack of it. Quite often the default setting of navy and grey provide a safe haven that many do not tread outside. Rightly so navy and grey form the basis of modern men’s wardrobes. They are the staples upon which a solid wardrobe is built. However gently introducing colours is the next logical step.

GROOM STYLE: HOW TAILORING CAN MAKE YOU FEEL AND LOOK YOUR BEST

We recently met our good friend Lizzy Griffiths of Fazeley Events to discuss wedding suits over coffee and cake. Lizzy has taken the time to write an awesome article from our conversation and my crazy passionate rants about suits and style.

We are pleased to announce our new Autumn/Winter fabrics are now available.

As always, they are in limited quantities so best to order very soon!

This season includes a number of gorgeous tweeds from Abraham Moons, stunning flannels from Vitale Barberis Canonico and beautiful check jacketing blends from Di Pray.

Walking into a bespoke tailors to order your first bespoke jacket is an exciting time. It's a step into another world and one that gives years of pleasure

We recently had a request from a gentleman who wanted the authentic peaky blinder style.  Well, he came to the right place.   Being avid Peaky fans (most Birmingham folk are) we knew the style well and made him a truly stunning suit.   

We love soft tailoring.   Having a garment that moves with you and flows is a revelation.   Making tailoring that is relevant and timeless is more about toying with small things and playing with proportion and style.   And this, in part, is driving the global market towards softer styles of tailoring.

We are pleased to announce that we have added Loro Piana to our house fabric ranges.    These fabrics are available from stock meaning shorter lead times and better prices.  

We have now added a long extension and loop waistband as an option to our trouser range.   Available with and without tailored side adjusters as required.

We are pleased to announce that Colmore Tailors brand new range of bespoke shirts are now available.   

Starting from £139 with delivery in 4-5 weeks.

We have been busy behind the scenes sampling, trialing and getting the product and fabrics just right.  Anyone that knows us knows we are meticulous and passionate about suits.....and shirts are no different.   

Believe it or not but summer is on the way.   I know its hard to imagine with the remnants of "the beast from the east" still lingering but it is true.   Warmer weather is fast approaching and to time with this, we welcome in our new Summer Seasonal fabric bunch.

I've long thought that the art of patience is something we should all teach our children these days.  We live in a world filled with instant gratification where our every whim is catered for at the click of a button. 

The perfect gift for the man who loves bespoke tailoring

We are pleased to announce that Colmore Tailor's gift vouchers are now available to buy online.   They are available in various denominations from £50 upwards. 

Whether you are a business owner or a barrister, an entrepreneur or an investor, having a solid wardrobe of men’s business suits is essential.

Peaky Blinders is here, and the bit I get most excited about, is those Peaky Blinder suits and the whole Peaky Blinder fashion.

Autumn is a busy time for Colmore Tailors and fine tailoring.   And in particular for sharp, well made evening wear.  From made-to-measure (MTM) dinner suits to bespoke velvet tuxedo jackets, we make them all at this time of year.  But with the lines of formal and casual becoming ever more blurred what should you wear to a black tie event?

For some men chalk-stripes can hold a great dear of fear.   The thickness of the stripe makes a bold statement about the man beneath it.  About who he is, and who he wants to be.  Some, myself included, prefer to go under the radar.
