A collaboration in craft

We start with an unhurried discussion about your lifestyle, your wardrobe and the occasions you dress for. This informs every decision that follows, from fabric to silhouette, from details to delivery.

You browse the fabric archive, guided by our team: from everyday Super 120s to ceremonial Super 180s, from crisp poplins to fluid linens. Lining colour, buttons, lapel shape, pocket style, vents and monogram are recorded in your commission sheet.

Our protocol maps every contour, asymmetry and postural nuance: seventy data points, from chest circumference to shoulder pitch, from blade span to arm rotation. From these your pattern is cut by hand from brown paper and archived for every commission that follows.

The canvas is cut, shaped and hand-stitched to the fabric. The collar is set by eye and hand. Buttonholes are worked by hand over several hours. A single suit requires 40–60 hours of skilled work; the result is natural drape, comfort and longevity that machine construction cannot match.

Fittings ensure every aspect is correct: the basted fitting adjusts balance, proportion and drape; later fittings refine the details. At delivery your tailor reviews the garment with you. Your pattern is archived and refined with each commission.
