Maternity Leave - 2 Week Shutdown

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)

The "It's Not Tweed?" Bespoke Jacket

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.

A Rainy Day in Birmingham - An Outfit Explained

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.

The Classic Blouson Launches

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.

We were recently commissioned by a client to make a bespoke jacket for his upcoming wedding. Weddings these days com in all shapes and forms…..from the super traditional church weddings, to the more easy-going barn style. Each reflecting the style and characters of the lucky couple. This wedding erred towards the later and came with a brief.

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.
