Travel in comfort and arrive in style
Feb 05 2012
Â
One concern of many customers who travel on business is that they want their suits to have minimal creasing. We can now offer either a high twist wool/polyester with Lycra which has a very soft handle and is a pleasure to wear. Plus the prices are quite reasonable!
 Alternatively we have some new Fresco cloths from J J Minnnis. This is the travel original cloth brought up to date. The Fresco weave was patented in Huddersfield in 1907 by Martin & Sons (part of the same group). You can now enjoy wearing modern designs that incorporate proven technology that is over 100 years old. Many mills also have their own high twist travel cloths but don’t really compare to the 1907 original. There is a wide choice of designs and including some fabrics that have a linen look without the creasing. If you would like to view either of the travel ranges please either call or email and I would be delighted to show them to you.

Sample Tailoring Secrets #1
Jan 03 2011
Hand made = better made?
The belief is that hand made suits will somehow fit better than a machine made garment. This is only true in certain situations, such as a genuine Savile Row suit or equivalent that carry a price tag of around £2000 and above. The high price of genuine hand made garments is a consequence of the many hours of hand crafting skills of a bespoke tailor to create the perfect fit.
