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. 

If you have never bought a tailored suit before there is a lot to think about. The question of "where and when am I going to wear it" is the first to answer.

Our friend Bethan Tolley and the excellent team over at The BusinessDesk have very kindly written two awesome articles all about Colmore Tailors and yours truely. 

I've heard many people have a debate over how many times you should dry clean your suit.  Some say very little, some say a lot, which is correct?
