Our made-to-measure process is personal, precise and straightforward. From the first conversation to the final fitting, we guide you through each decision and make sure the finished garment works for your body, style and purpose.
We begin by discussing what you need from the garment. This may include the occasion, your working environment, the season, how often it will be worn and the clothes you plan to wear with it.
You do not need to arrive with a fixed design or knowledge of tailoring. Bring references if you have them, or simply tell us how you would like to feel in the finished garment.
Next, we help you select a suitable cloth from our British and Italian collections. We consider weight, texture, durability, drape and colour, narrowing the options to those best suited to your needs.
We then define the design, including jacket style, lapels, pockets, lining, buttons and trouser details. Every option is explained clearly and considered as part of the complete garment.
We take a detailed set of measurements and assess posture, balance and proportion. These observations allow us to adapt the base pattern more intelligently than measurements alone.
The aim is to create a clean silhouette that feels comfortable when standing, sitting and moving.
When the garment arrives at our Shoreditch studio, you return for a fitting. We assess the overall shape and identify any refinements needed through the jacket, trousers and sleeves.
This stage is about more than checking whether the garment fits. We consider how the cloth falls, how the proportions work together and how you feel wearing it.
Our team completes the required adjustments and hand finishing in London. Depending on the garment and the changes required, a further fitting may be recommended before completion.
At collection, we check the final fit and talk you through care and pressing. Your measurements and preferences are retained, giving us a strong foundation for future commissions.
The result is a garment made for your proportions, shaped by your choices and finished with the attention of our London studio.
It depends on the garment, the cloth and the fittings involved, so we give you an honest timeline at your first consultation. If you are working to a fixed date, tell us when you enquire and we will plan around it.
No. Bring references if you have them, or simply tell us how you would like to feel in the finished garment — the consultation is designed to find the direction together.
A first fitting when the garment arrives at the studio, then final adjustments — and a further fitting is recommended when the changes call for it. Nothing is rushed.
