We require a 50% deposit on taking an order for a made-to-measure suit. The balance is due on delivery of the finished item.

We are known for our Modern Classic tailoring: elegant suits with waisted jackets and deep side vents that result in a strikingly slim silhouette. With our made-to-measure service we offer you a choice of lapels, pockets, buttons and linings so you can really make the suit your own.

Fully canvassed jackets and coats are made with a layer of horsehair throughout the whole of the front panels and the lapels, which ensures perfect structure and shape. Half-canvassed jackets and coats only feature horsehair through the chest area and lapels and, as such, and are less structured, but can also be lighter and easier-wearing.

During your visit you will meet our customer adviser who will help you select your cloth and trimmings and discuss the style and fit of your suit or garment. He will then take your measurements and give you an approximate completion date.

If you’re a new customer you will need to return to see us once or twice for fittings. If you’re a return customer we will quite possibly only need you to come back and see us for one fitting.

We have a number of examples of our tailoring at our Bespoke store that you are very welcome to try on and inspect.

We have samples of over 15,000 fine quality cloths of every style and weight.

It is advisable to make an appointment, but we will always do our best to accommodate you if you’re passing by. You can book your own appointment here, or make one by telephoning us on +44 (020) 7287 9645 or by emailing bespoke@richard-james.com. 

Our Bespoke store, which is located at Richard James House, 19 Clifford Street, London W1S 3RH, is open from 10am until 6pm, Monday to Saturday.
