Trousers maketh the suit!

I am always amazed why so many tailors look at trouser making as inferior to jacket making. When this is combined with the general lack of attention paid to the fit of the trousers, it really lets the suit down.

I have seen trousers that have been made by some of the most respected tailors, and to be honest, in my opinion, the fit and make of these trousers has been nothing less than mediocre. 
I have said it before, I shall say it again, cutting good trousers, and making them fit correctly is not easy.

Bad trouser fitting, in my opinion, is down to poor use of the iron during the making process, the fact is, the iron has to used quite liberally, and with good effect.

Good pressing is down to experience, a 'feel' for the cloth being worked is very hard to express to some-one.

I suppose I am biased, because I cut and make all my own work, I know first hand the skills required to execute good trousers.
Trousers often take more wear and tear than jackets, and my trousers are developed to endure hard work and durability, whilst looking, fitting and feeling superb. There are many options available to choose from in terms of trouser design, for example pleating, vs non pleating, belt loops or side adjusters, etc.

The choice of cloth, process of making, combined with my 25 years experience means that I can make you trousers that are nothing short of excellent, whether it be bespoke, made to measure or completely hand stitched.
