Exploring Bespoke Outerwear

The Variety and the Process
Hunting Jacket

For clients LOCAL AND WORLDWIDE

 

No matter where you live in the world, we can design and make a piece for you with a perfect fit.

For the hardest to fit pieces and styles, we can make you a cotton “muslin” prototype garment and mail it to you before we ever cut the cloth.

EVEN MORE THAN THE WORLD OF BESPOKE SUITS,

THE UNIVERSE OF BESPOKE OUTERWEAR IS LIMITLESS.

From rustic sheepskins to the finest alpaca,—-from water-resistant cotton gabardines to vegetable tanned horsehide.

From the heaviest military weight wool meltons that are still made by the same mills that produced them for the American Revolutionary War, the British campaigns against Napoleon and the American Civil War to waxed cottons that we produce in house.

From Gore-Tex and Thinsulate to hand-woven Harris tweed.

If you can dream it, we can find the best materials to make it.

Life is just too short for a coat that isn’t awesome.

 WE CAN MAKE

MORE DIFFERENT STYLES OF OUTERWEAR, WITH MORE EXCITING DETAILS AND MORE CHOICES,—

ask 100 other tailors if they can make your dream coat and the answer will almost always be negative.

Most of our outerwear clients find us after having been told by numerous “bespoke” and MTM tailors that what they are asking for is “impossible.”  That it simply isn’t done.

But the truth is that they don’t make bespoke outerwear because they don’t really make bespoke clothing,—at least not in the historical sense of the word.

To do the kind of work that we do, you need to have someone who will sit down and design it for you—with a pencil and paper.

Someone who will discuss every possibility and drawback, whether to make it warmer, or whether you want it less bulky,—-whether the desire for a luxurious handfeel is paramount, or whether you are looking for a piece that you can wear 150 days a year—-for the next 50 years.

You need someone who will draft a custom pattern that is just exactly what you want, where you choose the lapels, the pockets, the cut, length, and so on and so on.

And finally, you need to have a genuine craftsperson to cut and sew the piece,—-someone smart with many years of experience who understands the process of coat making from beginning to end—-because an assembly line can’t possibly work when one piece is horsehide and the next cashmere, when one piece is a bomber and the next a great coat with capes and a vent.

Our pieces are quite simply the best in the world to be had at any price,—–and they are the best, because they are the most yours.

Our coats fit into your life like they were made for it.

And that is because they genuinely are.

In the End, You Just Send Us a Message with a Few Words about What You Want.

And then we sketch it, and discuss many possible designs.  Then we send you fabric options.

Have you take a few simple measurements at home.  Mail you a muslin.  Discuss and correct the fit.

And finally we mail you the finished suit or you drop in to pick it up.

Not as easy a dropping by the shopping mall.  But a bit more satisfying.

And we promise that you won’t end up looking like everyone else.
