absolutely recommend
Lewis took me through the whole process step by step and made it so easy. He was great at listening to my ideas, making suggestions, coming up with a range of options in the end helped me create an incredible looking suit. It included some customisations that make the suit personal to me, and some really cool details that make it subtly stand out (like the angled button holes and coloured stitching).
The service was exceptional with Lewis always happy to go the extra mile for me.
I have the only suit in the world of its kind and it looks amazing.
I met up with Lewis who ran through a range of options as well as giving great advice on colours, what would look best on me etc.
We went for a 3-piece navy blue and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The fit, cut and colour were all outstanding and delivered in a speedy and efficient manner. Lewis’s communication is very good and he kept me updated throughout. Knowing that they will continue to alter the size if I gain or lose weight to keep the suit looking sharp shows the great customer service they provide.
I recently met up with Ian Fielding-Calcutt and we discussed looking at a smart casual option for next time.
It’s such a pleasure to work with Fielding & Nicholson to have the bespoke personal service and highly recommend them.
Her attention to detail and willingness to listen to my specific needs made the whole experience incredibly smooth and enjoyable. The fabrics are top-notch, and the tailoring is immaculate—each shirt feels custom-made for both my body and lifestyle.
I couldn’t be happier with the result and am so grateful for the care and expertise Nathalie brought to the project. Highly recommend Fielding and Nicolson for anyone looking for personalized, high-quality clothing, especially for those with specific needs like mine!
Wouid just like to bring my most recent visit to your showroom to your attention ..
Several weeks ago I linked in with Natalie May regarding a custom shirt. All good and I will be recieving soon .. However her knowledge and professionalism hit a note with me and yesterday we had a further appointment to discuss a bespoke suit and some corrections on a suit I had made by another supplier. I have to say the service was impeccable , relaxed but professional and put me totally at ease .. Obviously I have now purchased the suit and look forward to the remainder of the process. Please pass on my thanks to Natalie a true professional and I will certainly be reccomending to those who appreciate such service and quality
Kind regards and all my best to you and your team
The Instagram account is excellent.

What Fabric Choices Are Available and Why Do We Select These?
Selecting the Right Fabric
A bespoke suit starts with the fabric. At Fielding & Nicholson, we offer a curated selection of premium materials, including:
Wool
Perfect for year-round wear, offering durability and breathability.
Cashmere
A luxurious choice for softness and warmth in colder months.
Silk Blends
Ideal for eveningwear, adding a subtle sheen and elegance.
Why These Fabrics?
Our partnerships with esteemed British Brands and Italy ensure we source only the finest materials. Each fabric is selected not just for its aesthetic appeal but for its functionality. For example, heavier wool blends are ideal for winter suits, while lightweight linens and cottons excel in summer. This attention to detail ensures that your suit looks as good as it feels, no matter the occasion or season.
What Is a Baste Fitting and Its Significance?
Understanding Baste Fitting
A baste fitting is a hallmark of true bespoke tailoring. At this stage, your suit is loosely stitched together to allow for adjustments. This fitting is an opportunity for both you and the tailor to assess the fit and make significant modifications before the suit is completed.
Think of it as the blueprint stage of your suit—where your feedback shapes the final masterpiece.
Refining Your Suit: What Happens at Each Fitting?
Iterative Perfection
Each fitting brings your suit closer to perfection. From adjusting the taper of the trousers to fine-tuning the jacket’s drape, every detail is refined with precision. This iterative process ensures that your suit not only fits but complements your posture, movements, and personal style.
When Is Your Bespoke Suit Truly Complete?
The Final Touch
The final fitting is where everything comes together. Here, your suit undergoes a thorough inspection to ensure every seam, button, and lining meets our exacting standards. Adjustments are made if necessary, and the suit is pressed to perfection before it’s ready to join your wardrobe.
Our Commitment to Quality: What Checks Do We Perform?
Ensuring Excellence
At Fielding & Nicholson, quality is non-negotiable. Each garment undergoes rigorous checks, from stitch integrity to fabric alignment. We scrutinise every detail to guarantee that your bespoke suit is flawless and enduring.
Why Are Multiple Fittings Integral to Our Bespoke Process?
The Path to Perfection
Bespoke tailoring is a journey, not a single event. Multiple fittings allow us to refine the garment iteratively, ensuring the final product fits like a glove. This process ensures that your suit reflects both your vision and our commitment to excellence.
