BESPOKE BUSINESS SUITS FOR MEN
Tailored suits for the office, the boardroom and everything in between. Cut to your measurements in our London showroom.
An off-the-peg suit does a job. It gets you through the door. But the fit is always a guess. The shoulders are close enough, the chest is roughly right, and the trousers are whatever length was closest to yours. You spend the day pulling, adjusting, and working around it.
A suit built to your body works differently. Nothing pulls. Nothing rides up. You put it on in the morning and forget about it. That is the whole point.
At Fielding and Nicholson, every business suit starts with a conversation about how you work, where you work, and what you need from your clothes. We measure you, talk through cloth and cut, and build a suit that fits your day as well as your frame. Consultations run in our Mayfair showroom, at your office or home, or by video. We also see clients in Manchester, Zurich and New York.
SINGLE-BREASTED BUSINESS SUITS
The workhorse of any professional wardrobe. Clean, simple, and easy to wear every day.
Why Single-Breasted
The single-breasted suit is the most common style for a reason. It has one row of buttons down the front, usually two. The cut is clean and sits close without extra bulk. It works in almost any setting, from a client meeting to a Friday lunch, and it pairs well with everything from a tie and pocket square to an open collar.
If you are building a work wardrobe from scratch or adding to one, single-breasted is the place to start. It is the most flexible option you can own.
Clothes For The Office
The cloth needs to do two things: look sharp and hold up. We steer most business clients towards worsted wool. It is smooth, crease-resistant, and drapes well. A mid-weight worsted in navy or charcoal will see you through most of the year. For summer, we move to lighter open-weave wools or wool-mohair blends that breathe without losing their shape.
We source from mills like Holland and Sherry, Dormeuil and Scabal. Your tailor will help you pick a cloth that suits your climate, your commute and how often you plan to wear it.
Fit and Details
We offer three cuts. Classic Fit is roomy and sits easy on the body. Tailored Fit brings more shape through the waist. Slim Fit is close and modern. Your tailor will guide you based on your build and your day-to-day. If you spend a lot of time at a desk or in a car, the cut needs to account for that.
Beyond the fit, you choose everything: lapel style, button count, lining, pockets, ticket pocket or not, cuff buttons, and the trouser finish. Nothing is standard. It is all built around what you want.
DOUBLE-BREASTED BUSINESS SUITS
The workhorse of any professional wardrobe. Clean, simple, and easy to wear every day.
What Makes It Different
A double-breasted jacket has two rows of buttons and an overlap of cloth across the front. This gives it a wider, more structured look than a single-breasted suit. The lapels are almost always peak, which draws the eye up to the shoulders and adds shape to the upper body. It reads as more formal, more deliberate, and a bit more commanding.
Double-breasted suits were big in the 1930s, came back in the 80s, and have had a strong return in the last few years. They are no longer reserved for older men or special occasions. A well-fitted one looks sharp in a modern office.
Who It Suits
The double-breasted cut tends to look best on taller or slimmer frames, where the wider front stays in proportion. That said, with the right tailoring, most body types can carry it well. We adjust the button spacing, lapel width and jacket length to make sure everything sits right on you.
One thing to know: a double-breasted jacket should stay buttoned when you are standing. It is cut to look its best that way. If you want something you can throw open and leave unbuttoned, stick with single-breasted.
Styling
Keep the rest simple. A double-breasted jacket does the talking on its own. A plain white or pale blue shirt, a clean tie, and minimal extras. Skip the belt and go for side tabs or braces, which sit cleaner under the overlap. And skip the waistcoat too. The extra layer at the front means you do not need one.
THREE-PIECE BUSINESS SUITS
The workhorse of any professional wardrobe. Clean, simple, and easy to wear every day.
What The Waistcoat Does
A three-piece suit is just a two-piece with a matching waistcoat. But that extra layer changes the whole feel. It adds structure to the front of the suit, keeps your shirt and tie sitting flat, and gives you the option to take your jacket off without losing the look. In a warm office, a meeting room, or a long day, that matters.
It also lets you dress the suit up or down depending on the moment. Jacket and waistcoat together for a meeting. Waistcoat only for your desk. Jacket only for drinks after work. One suit, three looks.
Waistcoat Styles
Most business waistcoats are single-breasted with five or six buttons and a low V-front. This is the clean, classic version that works under any jacket. If you want more character, we can go with a higher cut, a double-breasted waistcoat, contrast cloth, or a different back panel. Some clients like a patterned waistcoat under a plain suit for a bit of quiet detail.
We always fit the waistcoat as part of the suit, not as an afterthought. It is cut to work with your jacket, sit flat against your shirt, and land at the right point on the trouser waistband.
Cloth
For a business three-piece, we usually cut all three parts from the same cloth. This keeps the look clean and professional. The cloth choice follows the same logic as a two-piece: worsted wool in navy, charcoal or grey for most situations.
If you want something with a bit more personality, a subtle check or a tonal stripe works well across all three pieces without being too loud for the office.
WHY OUR TAILORED MEN'S BUSINESS WEAR IS DIFFERENT
Better fit than off-the-peg suits
A tailored business suit is cut to your exact measurements, creating a cleaner fit across the shoulders, chest, waist and sleeves. The result is greater comfort, a sharper silhouette and a suit that looks right from every angle.
Comfort designed for the working day
From daily commutes to long meetings and formal events, a bespoke or made-to-measure suit is designed to move with you. Careful choices in cloth, structure and lining make it easier to wear throughout the day without compromising on appearance.
Quality that lasts longer
A well-tailored business suit is made with superior cloth and stronger construction, helping it hold its shape and maintain its finish over time. For clients looking beyond fast fashion, that means better value and a more dependable wardrobe investment.
A polished more professional image
The right business suit does more than fit well. It helps you look more refined, more confident and more credible in professional settings. Whether you are in the boardroom, meeting clients or attending an important event, a tailored suit ensures you make the right impression.
START WITH A CONSULTATION
Whether you need one suit or a full working wardrobe, the process is the same. Book a consultation and we will talk through what you need, show you cloths, and work out the right cut for your build and your working life. No pressure. Just a straight conversation about getting it right.
