Our latest 'creation'

This suit was bought by one of our clients for wearing at his forthcoming wedding. Like many of our clients he finds off the peg suits unsuitable because he does not conform to any 'standard' size.

However, with this suit he will be able to attend his wedding with confidence knowing that he has a suit that fits like a glove.

Chester Barrie - nice shirt chaps.

I was out at the weekend, in our local House of Fraser, looking through the menswear section, as I do. A shirt in there caught my eye, a gorgeous candy pink striped Chester Barrie, double cuff job, with gorgeous cut away collar. It was in the sale too, £40 down from £55. Bargain. I am wearing it as I type along with the Chester Barrie mother of pearl cufflinks that I also purchased for £35.

Yes I know I sell bespoke shirts, but this shirt was a fantastic colour, so I had to have it. I shall be wearing it to my appointments tomorrow.

The world's most expensive suit. A snip at £45,000

Fancy a new suit for that all important interview? How about one that costs an eye-watering £45,000?
A Saville Row tailor has produced what it thought to be the world's most expensive suit. William Westmancott, 27, has created the 'Ultimate Bespoke' - it is made from a one-off luxury cloth designed and woven in a traditional English Mill.
"It the most expensive, luxurious and indulgent bespoke suit in the world," Mr Westmancott said. It is aimed at celebrities or "the man who has everything and for whom money is no object".
As the cloth is so expensive he creates a complete sample suit first to ensure the pattern is perfect.
"An ultimate bespoke suit will take 150 to 200 workshop hours of construction, with many weeks of work spent designing and weaving the cloth and linings," Mr Westmancott said.
So far the Saville Row tailor said there had been a lot of interest from "wealthy Russians and Middle Eastern gentlemen" as well as premiership footballers.
Of course a rich businessman could not be expected to travel to London for the experience and so Mr Westmancott offers to fly out to 'anywhere in the world' to carry out the fittings.
Still unsure about the price? He also throws in a complimentary set of five bespoke shirts worth £2,475.

The return of formal office wear?

This month's edition of Business Matters magazine has an article with the headline 'The return of the formal office wear' and is suggesting that employers seem to be getting away from the uber-relaxed dress that has crept into the workplace.

many companies have wised up to the fact that their employess may say that they are more relaxed dressed casually, and hence can work better - but there is little point working better if the clients are scared away and there is no work to do.

Make sure your business is not left behind, get all your employees in our made-to-measure suits and ensure you are ahead of the trend.
