Stone Summer Suit - A Lightweight Wedding ...

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.

Every season we introduce new bunches from our favourite merchants and continually we seek new and exciting fabrics to bolster our already extensive offering. Within the last few weeks, we have received a lot of exquisite cloth from Dugdale Bros, Loro Piana, Drago and others.

Some are updates on classic collections, such as Holland and Sherry’s perennial suiting “Crispaire”, Dugdale Bros tropical wool “New Fine Worsted” and Loro Piana’s timeless classic “Jackets and Trousers.”

Green And Gold - Introducing Autumn Tailoring Colours

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.
