We Save You Time
For most of our clients only two visits to our store are required. For suits we need three visits as the garment is completed after the first fitting. All other items are fully completed for the first fitting.
We can provide a reasonably speedy turnaround that is accurate and of a high quality as all garments are made using the artisan mode of production whereby each item is made by one artisan who takes responsibility for the garment.

Bespoke Tailoring
We also offer the traditional tailoring service. On the first visit you get measured and we find out about your fit preferences. The patternmaker will make a pattern. The garment is then made base don the pattern. You come back for a fitting process. If any adjustments are required, the pattern is also adjusted so that if you want to order more garments they are at the made-to-measure price as the bespoke tailoring is a one off charge.
To minimise the number of fittings we find it works best if you are clear about the fit you require and you let our staff guide you during the fittings. If you prefer to do this yourself the staff will support you and defer to your wishes.

Ye Olde Tailor
We are one of the few traditional tailors. We faithfully follow the traditional tailoring based on the artisan mode of production.
The tailoring industry is dominated by brokers. The tailoring stores or front ends are sales funnels that specialise in accumulating orders. The work is outsourced to brokers or directly to home tailors or small workshops. The fast turnaround tailors cannot match the accuracy and quality of a traditional tailor on a consistent basis.
