Only the finest textiles
At Desmond Merrion Bespoke Tailors we only use the worlds finest cloth merchants to supply us our cloths.
An immaculate medium wool suit for the boardroom. A casual tweed sports jacket for the country. A classic velvet smoking jacket for New Year’s Eve parties. For every occasion there is also the perfect choice of cloth.
9-13oz cloth covers a lot of the requirements I love. It cuts cleanly, tailors well, responds amazingly to steam and working with my tailors iron, drapes superbly and most importantly finishes excellently. I know that any bespoke suit made with these weights of cloth will last a lifetime if the owner does his little bit to look after it.
Bespoke suits cut and correctly made have real longevity and genuinely can become ’heirloom’ suits - suits that can be re-cut and re-tailored to fit your children and even grandchildren. Cloth woven in Yorkshire has always been in demand throughout the world for centuries because of its quality. I always support the smaller cloth merchants and mills who are based in Yorkshire.
The absolute number one requirement that I ensure for all my clients is that the cloth they’ve selected is absolutely fit for purpose and beautifully finished.
