This year marks a rather special milestone for us. Twenty years.
It is difficult to put into words quite how much that means.
When we first started, the ambition was relatively simple. To make beautiful clothes, offer genuinely personal service and build the kind of relationships with our clients that go far beyond a single suit or jacket.
Twenty years later, those principles have not changed.
The people we have dressed
What has changed are the number of people we have had the privilege of dressing along the way. We have made first suits for young men beginning their careers, wedding suits for grooms and their families, wardrobes for clients travelling the world, and countless jackets, trousers, shirts and suits for the moments in between.
Perhaps most rewarding of all are the clients we first met many years ago who still walk through our door today.
Two decades of shared life
Over two decades, you get to share a surprising amount of life with people. Careers develop, families grow, styles change and waistlines occasionally do too. We have been fortunate enough to be there for promotions, weddings, celebrations and important occasions, as well as simply helping someone find something that makes them feel good when they put it on.
That relationship has always been at the heart of what we do.
Why bespoke is personal by nature
Bespoke clothing is, by its nature, personal. It involves conversation, trust and getting to know someone. The cloth and craftsmanship are important, of course, but it is the people we have met through the process that have made the last twenty years so enjoyable.
So this anniversary is as much about our clients as it is about us.
And we wanted to say thank you.
Win a custom-made jacket
To celebrate twenty years, we are giving one person the opportunity to win a custom-made jacket, created especially for them.
Guess the Cloth
Over the years, we have spent countless hours with clients looking through cloth books, discussing colours, weights, textures and compositions. So we thought it only fitting that our anniversary competition should put your cloth knowledge to the test.
Take a close look at the fabric pictured and see if you can guess its composition.
Is it:
- A Cashmere
- B Bamboo
- C Wool, Linen and Silk Blend
- D 100% Virgin Wool
Send us your answer and everyone who guesses correctly will be entered into the draw, with one lucky winner receiving a custom-made jacket.
We thought it was a fitting way to celebrate. After all, so many of the conversations we have had over the past twenty years have begun in exactly the same way, standing around a table, looking through cloths and deciding what we should make next.
Thank you, and here is to what comes next
Twenty years has passed remarkably quickly. We are enormously grateful to everyone who has been part of the journey, whether you have been with us from the beginning, discovered us somewhere along the way, or have only recently walked through our door.
Thank you for your trust, your loyalty, your friendship and, occasionally, for allowing us to persuade you into a cloth you might not have chosen yourself.
Here's to the last twenty years, and to everything still to come.
