All of our bespoke apparels are made with the finest quality English cloth, worsted, cashmere, silk mixtures from 90 to 160 yarns in a wide variety of designs and colours. We only offer a full bespoke service which includes taking your full measurements and style, hand cutting your garment, and offering you as many fittings as required. The garments are hand finished. We do not use any fusing in making any of our suit and the canvas is free floating to the full length of the jacket. All traditional construction, bridles and pad stitching is done as standard and only high quality trimmings are used in making the garment. Typically, our bespoke making service takes between 6 to 12 weeks from start to finish and is subject to seasonal variations in demand during the year.

Our dry-cleaning service is outsourced to experts who treat each garment by spotting stains and marks after which each suit, trouser, overcoat, leather garments, fur coats and other items of apparel are dry cleaned on a one to one basis; each garment is washed separately which helps to prevent the inter-linings folding and drifting apart or disintegrating due to excess heat. After the cleaning process re-texturing is done (if required) all garments are hand pressed with an old fashioned (non-electric) steam iron where high pressure steam is generated by a boiler. Many of our customers use this service for their special items of clothing which requires extra care and attention and the urgency of time is not a priority. For example, the process of dry cleaning could take as many as 20 working day to clean a suit.

Invisible mending must not be confused with darning, patching or fusing. It is an ancient art form of reweaving the cloth where it is damaged. This process of invisible mending is often referred to as “French Weaving” where some of the same threads of the garment is removed and used to reweave the damaged area by joining the warp and weft thread to the existing threads; all of this sophisticated process is carefully done by hand. Not all fabrics types or garments are best served by this process which is time consuming and repairs of this nature can be expensive and the damaged area of the garment is usually limited to small area like moth holes, snags, burns and cuts.
