That Bespoke Men's Green Jacket

That Bespoke Men's Green Jacket

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.

New Opening Hours

New Opening Hours

In light of our recent move to Cheltenham House we thought it was high time we looked at the opening hours too. One of the reasons for the move was to get more flexibility over our hours and to better serve our clients.

From the feedback over the last few weeks and reviewing the bookings we have taken we have updated our opening hours as below

Although we always favour a timeless style its important to not stand still. Whilst we aim for a look and a style that transcends time we also consistently look for improvements. Its in our nature.

Fight The Good Fight

Fight The Good Fight

Believe it or not, but years ago Bespoke clothing was the norm.    Ready-to-wear had not been thought of and Birmingham's streets were teeming with tailors.   It was not uncommon to have a tailor on the corner of every street.

Over the years RTW has become more prominent, sacrificing fit (the most important part of clothing) and replacing it with speed and impulsiveness.    Don't get me wrong, RTW has its place, but my heart will always be with custom tailoring, made to fit me and me alone.

Battle Cry - Why we love tailoring

Battle Cry - Why we love tailoring

It’s been a question that’s been going around my head for a few days now.    We know what we do but why exactly do we do it.  The obvious answer is because we love suits, we love tailoring and we love clothes.   This is true, but I always felt why we do what we do was bigger than just suits, it stood for something more….and that’s what we are getting to the bottom of.
