Bespoke Shooting Suits

Bespoke shooting suits are a highly technical, functioning garment. A former keen shot for well over 20 years enables Desmond to fully understand first hand the technical requirements of your bespoke shooting suits.

Here at Merrion Bespoke, our bespoke suits are both stylish and timeless. Choose from our collection of bespoke suits to put your best foot forward and dress with intent. We provide numerous methods to capture your measurements in order to create your bespoke suits. Select the option that matches your level of convenience, and your garments will be ready in 6-8 weeks. You can find all my suit prices and make an appointment here 

Choose either my entry level Made To Measure. Mid range Semi Bespoke. Or my top end traditional Full Bespoke. Rest assured that all my suits are genuinely handmade to your individual measure. I do not outsource any part of your order to a third party.

Every item is hand- cut and hand-made by a master craftsman at our Castleford premises to the client’s individual pattern. All my bespoke suits are handmade to your precise requirements to create a garment that is uniquely tailored to you.

Bespoke Shooting Suits

The cutting and fitting of the sleeves is absolutely crucial for taking high birds or a right-left at partridge. I cut all my bespoke shooting suits with excellent swing capability through the sleeves. A well cut sleeve with a high armhole, combined with action pleats, or a central box pleat, will give the required lift into the arms.

Shooting for sport or hunting for food is a British tradition as old as the hills. And inextricably linked with the British countryside as Land Rovers and wellies.  The British weather isn’t always kind to the outdoorsman, so it’s important that your bespoke shooting suit is as comfortable and warm as possible, but that doesn’t mean it can’t look stylish too. By trusting the experts at Desmond Merrion, you can be confident of a stylish and well-made outfit.

We don’t believe in the kind of stuffy exclusivity you might expect from a high-quality tailor, and we think tailoring should be accessible to all. We welcome you like an old friend. You’ll have the opportunity to browse our excellent selection of fabrics to choose exactly what you want. And we’ll make sure it’s made exactly to your measure. We have a large array of fabrics on offer, from the modern to the traditional, so you can have it all with your bespoke shooting suit.

Cloth

With an extensive choice of the finest English and Scottish tweeds to choose from. Cloth weights ranging between 20 – 30 ounce heavy wool tweeds for shooting in inclement weather are available. And 11 to 13 ounce in the base colour of either brown green is the most popular go to mid weight. Or, for shooting in warmer climates, 11-12oz worsted Alsport is perfect.

We can offer customers full shooting looks. From odd jackets and vests complete with gun pleats, patch and bellows pockets, through to shooting breeches and matching caps. We cut, and make, every bespoke shooting suit on the premises from your own, unique personal pattern.
