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.

New Season Collection from Drago

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 INAUGURAL WOOL & WINE - Christmas Drinks

We opened the doors of Colmore Tailors to a discerning bunch of sartorial gents and treated them to a festive evening of networking, tailoring, and wine tasting.

It turns out that Colmore Tailors is not alone in its love of Wool & Wine. It seemed only natural for us to bring the two together...

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.

Old Dog, New Tricks?

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

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

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
