THE BESPOKE EXPERIENCE

Quite simply the ultimate in tailoring. A unique garment, handmade on Savile
Row, that while always flattering, will naturally reveal something
of the character of its owner.

Your Bespoke

The most luxurious and personal thing you can have made. An individual paper pattern is created by our in-house cutter and each garment is pieced together by tailors with at least thirty years experience. A bespoke Richard James garment arouses those senses that lie dormant, forgotten by mass manufacturing.

"WE WANTED TO MAKE SAVILE ROW SEXY AND EXCITING. WE’VE ALWAYS RESPECTED ITS HISTORY AND UNEQUALED CRAFTSMANSHIP, BUT WE HAVE JUST DONE SO IN OUR OWN WAY."

RICHARD JAMES, NOVEMBER 2017

OUR FIRST MEETING

On your first visit we help you select your cloth and determine the style and detail of the piece we are making for you. You are then measured, so we can create your paper pattern. If you’re not sure what you want, we will help you decide. We make suits, jackets, overcoats, evening wear... Whatever you would like. The best results are achieved when both sides collaborate. You won’t be difficult. We don’t have difficult customers.

YOUR FIRST FITTING

Usually referred to as a baste fitting, this is the moment we see the garment on you for the first time and make any necessary adjustments. The garment is then stripped down, re-marked and re-sewn ready for your next fitting, if we both feel one is required. Second fittings are the norm for a new customer, but are unusual for returning customers.

THE FINAL ADJUSTMENTS

This is when we check that any adjustments made as a result of your first fitting are correct. Any further adjustments required are also noted and made before the garment is again stripped down, re-marked, re-sewn and finished ahead of collection.
