Your custom made order will be complete in 5-6 weeks. We do not hold semi-finished garments, every piece is cut to your unique pattern finished with details chosen by you. Partnering closely with suppliers in Europe allows to accommodate urgent orders in 3-4 weeks. There is a 30% surcharge for urgent orders.

We don't just take linear body measurements.

You will try on a sample garment that is closest to your size. The sample will be our reference point to create your personal blueprint. We will refit the garment on you using the good old method of chalking and pinning to determine the feel and fit you are after. We will guide you through what works best for your proportions and gauge your feedback on the cut you are after.

The sample pattern is fully modified electronically and laser cut with precision to your unique body typography. Your garment is tailor-made with all measurements, shoulder angles, posture intricacies, silhouette alterations, individual design requirements accounted for from the outset. We will refine the cut at the fitting.

Your pattern is stored electronically for the ease of future orders.

Measurements are only linear and do not tell our tailors much about your body typography. We make the garments to fit your posture and for that we need to see you in person. We account for things like stooping, erect postures, whether you have both or one prominent shoulder blade, we check the level of your shoulders, the angle at which your arms hang in relation to your body and more. All these things make a great impact on the fit, but can't be measured with a tape. We use our House Block to gauge your posture profile. Many tailors work with linear measurements only, although it does get you closer to a good fit, it is invariably a compromise when compared to the full posture analysis.

So, no, we will not accept linear measurements. We must to measure you personally.

Allow at least 30-45 mins to get measured and get a sample garment fitted on you. And another 30-45 mins to choose from our extensive cloths, linings & buttons selection. You will be guided through every step of the process. 60-90mins for the overall appointment.

We will call you in 5-6 weeks following your first appointment to arrange the Fitting. We need 15-20mins for the Fitting. The Fitting is for us to refine the cut. You will return within 3-7 business days for a follow up Fitting.

We keep things close to our London home. Our production is based in Portugal, we bring together the latest German technology in production and Italian trimmings to finish your garments. We take pride and see great value in having close relationships with our business partners, agreements based on mutual trust and sealed on a handshake. You will see it too - in the finest quality & style, timely delivery and sensible prices.

After your in person appointment where you get measured and select all the design details we can ship your garments anywhere in the world. Shipping charged separately. We go through a very detailed measurement process and use a sophisticated CAD system to create your pattern. Most of our garments don't need alterations when they are complete. Should your garment need some further work, contact your local tailor and send us the bill for the work. You only need to be measured once as we store your pattern details electronically for the ease of future orders. You can request fabric swatches, photos of new fabric collections for future orders remotely thereafter.
