We have been given the shutdown dates for our Portuguese Atelier and will align our summer holidays to suit. As such, we will be closed between the following dates (as will Portugal)
Bespoke Glen Check (Glen Plaid) Suit - Modern Classic
Few suit patterns carry the heritage, sophistication, and versatility of the Glen Check suit. Also known as Glen Plaid or Prince of Wales Check, this iconic fabric has been a cornerstone of British tailoring for over a century and has seen a resurgence in its relevance today.
Originating in the Scottish Highlands, the pattern was first used on the Glenurquhart Estate before being adopted and popularised by King Edward VII and later Edward VIII. Their appreciation for the design transformed it from practical country wear into a symbol of refined elegance.

How Your Style Evolves - Revisiting a Bespoke Raglan
“Go easy on yourself, it’s the first time you’ve done this” is something you will hear me say a lot in the atelier. Clients often come to us for the first time and expect everything to be perfect, when they may not know what perfect means to them yet. I see our job as nailing the proportions and fit as close as as can, and then gently guiding and assisting you to find your own style within those parameters.
New Opening Hours
Brand New Bespoke Collection - Limited Edition
Christmas Drinks - Welcome to the Row
Its the time of the year where we invite you all to our Christmas drinks. It is a wonderfully pleasant evening and a very jovial affair. Always a lovely way to catch up with friends and convene over some cracking drinks. As ever the drinks will be furnished by Connollys and with a white wine and champagne theme.
We Have Moved to Colmore Row

August Atelier Holidays - Last Order Dates
Fresco & High-Twist Bespoke Suits - Your Summer Staple
High-twist cloth is as it sounds. A cloth that has yarns that have been twisted more tightly than normal, and often with more yarns that normal. As standard worsted cloth has 2 yarns, commonly referred to as 2-ply. High-twist cloth normally comes in 2-ply, 4-ply, and even 6-ply.
The 6-ply I found was even accompanied by a picture of some biceps alluding to its inherent strength. Made me smile.
Drago Sunlit | Wool & Linen Jacket for Summer
I have a soft spot for linen jackets. I adore the way linen breathes and its natural tendency to rumpling is something that has grown on me over the years. And I get hot….
Initially I shied away from linen summer jackets and all their casual connotations. But certainly, since covid there has been a shift to ever more casual styles and more easy-going fabrics and I feel this is a good thing. It allows for more expression and more playfulness, and clothes should be enjoyed.
Bespoke linen jackets can be a blessing and a curse. On one hand, linen is a tough and pliab
Stone Summer Suit - A Lightweight Wedding Classic
Oh, I love the feeling of impending summer. When the last days of spring start giving way to more consistent sunlight and the days feel never ending.
As I write this the mercury is expected to hit 24deg today and sun is beaming through the windows. No wonder I feel in such a good mood.
Feelings like this make it no surprise that people get married more in the summer and often decide to do so abroad with its more reliable sunshine.
It’s no surprise then that one of our more consistent requests is for a lightweight stone summer wedding suit. Stone colours remind me of beaches and summer sun and if paired with blue have perfect colour ways of the waves breaking on the shore.
Happy Birthday - We Are 10 Years Old
Happy 10th Birthday to us! Colmore Tailors is 10 this year.
Where has the time gone? It’s seriously flown by and i’m immensely grateful for each and every one of you for helping to make this happen. We are nothing without all the people that make Colmore Tailors what it is and we (and I) will be forever indebted to you all.
It’s crazy thinking back at the whole ride, starting from a back bedroom at home in Lichfield to sitting in the suite in Birmingham today.

Christmas Holiday Dates 2024
Christmas tends to quieten down for us as smidge so it is the perfect time for us to get some much-needed rest in. We are not your typical retail set-up and don’t indulge in sales and turning over of old stock so it makes sense to align our holidays with the majority of the UK.
We will break up this Saturday the 21st and return to work on Tuesday the 7th of January.
