Thursday 8th December we welcomed some of our clients and friends all dressed up in Colmore Tailors.
The perfect occasion to network, taste good bottles, discuss viticulture and garments and introduce our latest novelty: The field coat.
As most people will be aware, myself and the better half are expecting twin girls very soon. As they are twins we get to choose an elected cesarian and therefore the due date, which does help plan somewhat.
This is something I’m keen to fully enjoy (or endure, i’m not sure which)
I’m a big believer in asking pertinent questions to really get under someone’s skin and find out if what they are asking for is really what they want. That’s not to say people don’t know what they want, they often do, but it’s not always communicated directly…more so indirectly.
You’ve probably started to think about Christmas gifts or just having a new bespoke piece in your wardrobe, to make sure to receive your order before Christmas, book an appointment and place your order between Tuesday 22nd November and Saturday 26th November at the latest.
I get asked a lot to explain outfits and to help people put them together. I don’t always feel like i’m best placed to do this, which is silly as i work with clothing and bespoke menswear everyday. But my confidence with clothing is one thing, my lack of confidence in writing is another. But it’s something i do feel can be useful to people who are interested in bespoke tailoring so im willing to put myself out there and try to learn! If there is a writer out there who wants to help then im all ears, but for now you will have to make do with my attempts and ramblings.
Here is my first draft…..all feedback, good and bad, welcomed. Please be gentle.
We are now stocking Dragos excellent summer seasonal collections. They will be available in limited amounts as with all seasonal fabrics so we recommend early ordering.
Drago are a pretty new (2 years) merchant for us but have impressed us with their style and eye for creating modern yet classic styles. They certainly have a grip on the direction of style and their seasonal collection for summer is a beauty!
The Classic Blouson is the classic jacket style that every man with a finely tuned sartorial sense should own.
By all means, the blouson is a reverent celebration of modern-classic styling – the epitome of cool and retro, and although it was adopted with casual intent, it radiates a simplicity and elegance that is powerfully understated. It pairs as effortlessly with flannel as it does with denim.
How do you take up the challenge to grow a tailoring brand without jeopardising the quality and the experience – and without undervaluing an industry that is stooped in centuries of tradition and heritage?
As Head of Brand Marketing, I’ve realised it’s not that simple to turn up with sleeves rolled up ready to battle, armed with a rucksack full of marketing tricks
I like to plan my clothing in advance. Im not talking about setting a garment out the night before….but planning my purchases and looking ahead at what I might need and when. And Cheltenham Races is only 8 weeks away. Yes, you heard me…..Cheltenham Races is only 8 week away. It’ll be here in no time
This is proper cloth. Proper English cloth. Its the only way to describe Dugdale Brothers “English and Town Classics” bunch. As I’m writing this I glance down at my trousers made from the bunch and marvel at how they have performed. 4 years old & have taken an absolute battering, yet the cloth still looks fresh and crisp. Its proper cloth…and boy do we have a fantastic offer for you.
