If you’ve only ever worn a suit from a high-street shop, you’ll know that the fit is never quite right - the sleeves or trousers might be too long or too short, and the jacket might be too tight or too baggy across the chest.

When you buy a suit from us, the sizes are exactly right, because our complimentary tailoring service ensures they’re your sizes. We take pride in ensuring you’ll be comfortable wearing your suit for a long time to come. 

With our made-to-measure service, you can also choose the style, colour and fabric from a vast selection, creating a truly one-of-a-kind suit that’s unique to your wardrobe.

Exploring this topic initially may seem overwhelming, but we're here to support you at every turn. It's wise to start by asking a few simple questions before firming up your ideas. Consider elements like the time of year, geographical location, and the specific setting. Envision how you want the event to unfold, and from there, we can efficiently narrow down a selection of promising ideas.

For every garment, whether made-to-measure or purchased at full price off the rack, we offer complimentary tailoring to ensure the perfect fit for your shape and size.

Your sales consultant will expertly guide you through the fitting process, identifying areas for improvement such as adjusting sleeve lengths or tapering jacket waists.

Rest assured, all our tailoring is carried out by qualified master tailors, providing you with peace of mind that your garment is in experienced hands.

For a two piece suit, our own opening made-to-measure price starts from £1150, which would be for either a navy or black house fabric. If you would like to explore deeper into our cloth selections and add a special lining or hand details our average price is between £1500 and £1600.

For a Belvest suit, there are a wide variety of colours and styles available. A classic two-piece Belvest made-to-measure suit begins at £2500.

All our prices cover the full service, from your initial consultation through to final finishing touches with our in-house tailoring service.

You can book a consultation to talk through the options with us without any obligation to then go ahead with the production of your suit - we’re here to help you find out more about why a made-to-measure suit is a purchase to treasure.
