Shadow stripe suit made from wool and cashmere super 120’s 9oz. cloth from Bateman and Ogden BradfordFits like a glove!

Customers who do not wish to make the financial leap to full bespoke tailoring can opt for my made-to-measure service that I refer to as semi-bespoke. I still cut and make all my own garments for made-to-measure customers but it is not as labour intensive. I must say immediately that the resulting suit is in no way an inferior quality - it is simply made differently.

I will not cut you an individual pattern but will adapt a block pattern near to your size and shape. These block patterns have been made by me, they are a good fit and make up superbly. The fitting process is exactly the same as with my bespoke service - with a skeleton try on and a forward try on if required. The inside of the coat front will be fused and have a small canvas chest piece, this is standard practice nowadays for the way most other tailors will make your suit.

This fusing of the cloth does take some life out of the fabric but with my good cutting and fitting you will still get a very nice drape from the cloth and it is my aim to make the garment as light and thin as possible There are some very good fusibles on the market and it goes without saying that I only use the best to try and get the 'buttery' fronts that are so soft and desirable..

The way I make your suit will be by the full open coat method, this means all the collars, edges, linings and anywhere that requires it, will be hand sewn and hand finished the only difference between my full bespoke and semi-bespoke is the internal canvas on the jacket fronts.
