UNITED KINGDOM
The most important exponent of the ‘drape lower’, with tender shoulders and fullness of material within the chest and again. Along with a carefully lower waist, this provides the phantasm of a much bigger chest and may be very comfy. Some assume that the tender shoulders are unflattering. It’s among the many cheaper homes on the Row, and I significantly just like the double-breasted type because it has a comparatively broad lapel with loads of stomach. My fits from A&S had been all lower by John Hitchcock, who has now retired.
Benson & Clegg weren’t largely recognized for his or her bespoke division, with a stronger popularity for his or her buttons, cufflinks and braces (they maintain the royal warrant to Prince Charles for such issues). That modified when Meyer & Mortimer cutter Oliver Cross joined the workforce, and Oliver made me a green-flannel swimsuit. His type is English structured with some drape – although additionally with an openness to adapt the make and lower. Since that swimsuit, Benson have largely shut down sadly, however Oliver Cross arrange on his personal – as ‘Ollie’s.
One of many most interesting end of any English tailors, studying from the French of their buttonholes amongst different issues, Chittleborough was based by two cutters from the legendary Tommy Nutter store, the place Edward Sexton was the top cutter. Roy Chittleborough is retired, however Joe Morgan carries on chopping Sixties-inspired fits with massive lapels, nipped waists and powerful shoulders. My navy swimsuit might be discovered right here.
A extremely conventional Savile Row tailor with a wealthy navy historical past, Dege cuts a strong-shouldered, longer jacket. Nonetheless household owned, they’ve been remarkably constant as different homes corresponding to Huntsman have modified look or possession through the years. Cutter Nick De’Ath made me an excellent tobacco-linen swimsuit. And though the upper rise of the trousers didn’t fairly work out the primary time, he was accommodating on a number of different factors. We subsequently made an unstructured summer time jacket as nicely.
Edward sadly handed away just lately, however the type and home he based are nonetheless going sturdy. Edward made me a implausible double-breasted flannel swimsuit and a lengthy gray overcoat. The previous has proved very helpful and the latter additionally, after it was shortened slightly (by 4 inches) a yr after making. Sexton additionally provide an offshore service which is partly made in China, which we reviewed right here.
Davide Taub, of whose type I’m an enormous fan, is the top cutter at Gieves. He skilled at Maurice Sedwell amongst different locations and tends in direction of a powerful shoulder and silhouette. He’s additionally very progressive, and has made a number of very unique and trendy items for me, together with my pea coat, leather-based jacket and gilet. For the aim of this listing, nonetheless, essentially the most attention-grabbing piece is this inexperienced linen swimsuit, which is hanging for being gentle in building but sharp in look.
A standard Metropolis tailor in London. This implies not making to the identical customary as Savile Row, however doing the essential issues of chopping by hand and dealing up a private paper sample. Graham Browne is nice worth as as consequence, and I’ve had many issues made through the years, together with my first bespoke swimsuit in London. (One other tailor, Choppin & Lodge, was an offshoot of Graham Browne however now not exists. That workforce, along with Dan McAngus from Graham Browne, runs MacAngus & Wainwright.)
Often called the based of Savile Row, the Poole type is extra average and versatile than both A&S or Huntsman. The essential lower is robust and English, nonetheless, simply with barely much less padding and construction within the shoulder and chest than Huntsman. I had a double-breasted Prince of Wales swimsuit made, which has been quietly excellent. It will get extra compliments than virtually the rest, but it’s conservative in every little thing by the material. (Subsequent to that publish, I’ve had two extra buttons added on the prime, and swapped the buttons for brown horn slightly than gray.)
The other of Anderson & Sheppard in type, with sturdy, padded shoulders and a carefully lower chest. Comparatively slim by means of the waist and with little skirt, it’s recognized for a one-button fastening. Most different English tailors lower this conventional type, with slight variations. I appreciated the looking swimsuit I had made by David Ward, although had some issues with the bi-swing again, because the vents stayed open and elastic was added inside to repair that.
Kathryn was once the top tailor at Gieves & Hawkes. Her type is, like Poole and others, a standard English navy lower. My journey blazer and trousers had been lower by Kathryn Sargent whereas she was at Gieves. She has since arrange her personal premises, and made a stupendous tweed jacket for my spouse there, which mirrored her specific talent in ladies’s types.
John Kent and Terry Haste work on Sackville Road. Terry was head cutter at Huntsman and his type may be very related; John tends to chop a barely smaller again and slimmer leg – sharper, in that approach. John made my sample and I’ve two fits from it, the second lower and fitted by Terry – therefore the distinction in types famous above.
Bryan Manning is an outdated tailor who used to work at Kilgour and has operated on his personal for a number of years, assembly shoppers at Holland & Sherry on Savile Row or in workrooms on Tottenham Court docket Street. He’s good worth for cash, however the high-twist summer time swimsuit he made me had some points, significantly across the ending.
Michael is a younger, trendy cutter who deserves credit score for most of the good issues that occurred at Chittleborough & Morgan, earlier than he arrange on his personal. Michael’s type is analogous, however his mode of working – completely with out compromise, together with remaking each becoming himself – shouldn’t be. His purpose has been to provide the very best garment, it doesn’t matter what the associated fee. This implies that the attractive coat he made for me was very costly, but it surely makes Michael distinctive.
A metropolis tailor, PA Crowe has a small store close to to St Paul’s cathedral. I labored close-by for a number of years and ultimately had a pair of brown flannel trousers made. The outcomes weren’t excellent, with the persistent challenge I’ve of hole fronts and bulging rear inflicting the trousers to lose their sharpness too simply.
Richard was once the top cutter at Huntsman and his lower is analogous, although with much less padding within the shoulder. One distinction is probably a extra adventurous type; he makes jackets in denim, for instance, and wool jersey, and has his personal assortment of denims. Richard made me a tuxedo, single breasted with a shawl-collared waistcoat. It was slim and completely becoming, although my favorite half was the excellent trousers.
Ben Clarke at Richard James has been rising the bespoke aspect of the enterprise, which has its personal devoted premises on Clifford Road. Ben made a brown cashmere jacket for me, waistcoat and trousers, deviating from the traditional Richard James type considerably to make one thing barely softer and extra informal. The consequence was excellent, each when it comes to match and end.
Son of A&S head cutter John Hitchcock, Steven was skilled there and his type may be very related. He now lives exterior of London however has a workshop and appartment in Fitzrovia the place he sees clients. Steven has made me a tweed jacket and moleskin trousers, a stupendous pale-grey jacket from the Lamlana bunch, a implausible charcoal donegal jacket and a navy cashmere. I’d extremely suggest him for this type of tailoring.
Arrange by Fred Nieddu, beforehand the top cutter at Timothy Everest, Taillour advantages from a excessive stage of Savile Row product and a way of fashion that a whole lot of tailors can typically lack. Fred tends in direction of a large shoulder and lapel, with little roping within the shoulders, however the entire is delicate and balanced. He travels extensively however relies in East London, close to Shoreditch. He has made me a suede belted jacket and brown chalkstripe swimsuit.
A extra modern lower than most on this listing, Thom Sweeney began out providing a very brief jacket, slender sleeve and fitted waist. They’ve moderated their type through the years, however it’s nonetheless the home that may really feel most like a contemporary designer model to most in London. They made me a navy checked jacket and rope trousers a number of years in the past, which match very nicely (although I considerably regretted the boldness of the windowpane examine).
Tim is now not providing bespoke tailoring, having exited his personal enterprise and now concerned with Gray Flannel on Chiltern Road. The stunning bespoke operation on Elder Road did spawn Taillour although, coated elsewhere, and when it was open Tim made me a swimsuit and velvet jacket that had been each stable, however some minor points and poor type decisions on my half.
Whitcomb & Shaftesbury has a particularly good worth service known as Basic Bespoke that’s lower in London however has a lot of the making achieved in a workshop they personal and have skilled themselves in India. The result’s maybe one of the best place to begin for any full bespoke swimsuit. The complete evaluation of the navy worsted swimsuit they made me might be seen right here. They’ve additionally change into my go-to location for bespoke trousers, provided that worth.
JAPAN
Kenjiro just lately moved again to Japan, having been based mostly in France for a very long time beneath his personal identify, and former to that the top cutter at Smalto (the opposite massive identify in Paris after Cifonelli and Camps de Luca). His type is much like the opposite French makers, with little private touches like the quantity of ironing to form the leg of the trouser. Kenjiro made me a stupendous navy cotton swimsuit. We’ve got coated different Japanese tailors (right here) however not had something made by them.
SOUTH KOREA
I used to be very impressed once I visited Korea in 2023 to see the craftsmen there, and Assisi had been in all probability the one which impressed me most. Comparatively younger, they’ve a stupendous sense of fashion that tends in direction of the fuller, late 80s or 90s type, however can lower something. And the execution of the tailoring was implausible. The one factor they will generally lack is trimmings corresponding to buttons, as these need to be imported. They journey to New York for trunk reveals, and have made me a tweed jacket and a light-grey swimsuit.
B&Tailor had been the primary well-known Korean tailor, and several other of the homes as we speak have individuals who began there. They’re additionally thebiggest. Chad Park leads the home, along with his father overseeing the making. He has an ideal sense of color and elegance, although the informal clothes is rather less traditional and to not my style. Chad made me an excellent double-breasted overcoat.
B&Tailor/Robin Petterson
That is included extra only for the file, because the service now not exists. However for some time B&Tailor labored in Europe by means of a Swedish agent, serving to serve all those that admired the Korean work from afar. Sadly that didn’t work out; my expertise was coated right here.
Luca Museo’s type shouldn’t be that dissimilar to the opposite Koreans coated right here, but it surely does lead in direction of the extra tonal and maybe bigger in lower. See my evaluation of the navy three-piece swimsuit they made me right here for some illustration of that. They’re additionally as progressive as the opposite tailors, and have their very own very good knitwear line.
FRANCE
The most important of the Parisian tailors, the Cifonelli lower is characterised by a lightweight building however a energy of form achieved by a roped shoulder and slim waist. Gorgeous ending on the buttonholes, trousers and linings. The Cifonelli designs aren’t all the time my style, however the workmanship is among the many greatest on this planet. I’ve made a number of issues with them through the years, beginning with a tweed jacket. The most effective have been two overcoats, nonetheless, one navy and one brown.
Camps de Luca is a small however no much less high-quality Parisian tailor, and made me a stupendous gray two-piece swimsuit with their attribute closed notch on the lapel and small Milanese buttonhole. Barely sq. of shoulder, with a fantastically made trouser and beautiful detailing, they rival Cifonelli in most departments. Though they will appear extra traditional than Cifonelli, they do additionally make suede and leather-based items, and a few uncommon jackets for warm climate.
ITALY
A small, second-generation tailor in Naples. Elia Caliendo is the cutter and his father nonetheless does among the tailoring work. Neapolitan type is pretty constant, with self-lined jackets within the foreparts, very gentle building, shirt shoulders and people curving pockets. The most important distinction between them is high quality of ending and match, and Elia is sweet on each. He visits London each month or so, which makes him dearer than some. I’ve had a summer time jacket a Everlasting Fashion tweed jacket and several other different issues made by Elia.
A Neapolitan trouser maker with an excellent popularity – and making trousers for among the different Neapolitan tailoring homes – Marco Cerrato has began to develop extra overseas along with his brother in London dealing with a whole lot of commissions. Marco has made me just a few pairs of trousers, together with inexperienced cottons and pale-grey cavalry twills. Of the three Neapolitan trouser makers listed right here, I’ve had essentially the most constant optimistic expertise with them.
Renato Ciardi was one of many best-known cutters in Naples, and his sons have admirably carried on his work. Enzo now travels to London, and has change into one in all my favorite tailors ever, for his character, lower, and consistency. The lower is extra conventional Neapolitan, which implies barely longer and extra beneficiant within the physique and shoulder, whereas nonetheless being tender. My tweed jacket particularly was excellent.
Most areas of Italy have a bespoke tailor or two left, not like most different elements of the world, together with England. Within the Puglia space within the south-east, I visited just a few and tried out Nicola Cornacchia, who was really helpful to me by Vitale Barberis Canonico. The sunshine-grey high-twist swimsuit they made me was not world class, but it surely was excellent, and I’d suggest them to anybody that discover themselves within the space.
Sartoria Dalcuore are a barely bigger tailor in Naples, with a workshop supplying able to put on clothes to locations like China and Japan, alongside conventional bespoke. They made me a brown Crispaire swimsuit for the summer time amongst different issues, which was fantastically fitted and in a traditional Neapolitan type – solely missing a few particulars like match across the trousers that maybe may have been corrected at a second becoming.
Ettore is a lesser-known Neapolitan tailor, however really with a big workshop and worldwide shopper base. He tends to chop a shorter, closer-fitting jacket, like many fashionable tailors, and I’ve needed to combat again in opposition to that tendency. However he’s a really gifted cutter, and achieved nice match on the hopsack jacket and coat he made for me. Additionally works recurrently in suede and leather-based.
Ferdinando Caraceni, one in all 4 outfits doing bespoke in Milan and Rome beneath the Caraceni identify, made me a cashmere herringbone jacket. A fantastically made piece, it was noticeably extra formal than different Italians I had tried – extra an unstructured different to a Row swimsuit than a rival to Neapolitan casualness. Nicoletta Caraceni is the charismatic head of the home, Ferdinando’s daughter. The following piece, a double-breasted cotton jacket, was even higher. Sadly, the home closed this yr.
My expertise with Formosa in Naples was not an excellent one – however as with different damaging experiences, it’s laborious to inform how a lot this ought to be a conclusion in regards to the tailoring home as an entire. Gennaro needed to attempt utilizing two youthful cutters for my jacket, whom he was coaching to take over from the senior cutter. What they made was not an excellent match, and the following try to appropriate it by the senior workforce was not enough. I ultimately gave up on the jacket.
One of many greatest names in Romain tailoring, Gaetano has a powerful worldwide following. I haven’t had any fits made by him, however US author Bruce Boyer penned a beautiful piece for Everlasting Fashion on his experiences, which might be seen right here. His type is extra much like the northern tailors in Italy, however with a barely softer shoulder expression than both.
Biagio Granata is a younger cutter who arrange his personal operation just a few years in the past. Sadly, whereas clearly an excellent cutter, he suffered from an absence of consistency in visits to London, in execution of types, and an absence of English. The swimsuit he made for me had a good jacket, however I by no means noticed the trousers. The tweed jacket he made to enhance the scenario within the meantime, was an excellent match within the prime half, however had gaping vents. Exhausting to suggest on that foundation.
The most effective-known tailor in Florence, Antonio Liverano cuts a brief jacket and slim trousers. The home is sort of modern in that respect, and has been popularised by the assist of The Armoury in New York and Hong Kong. Antonio made me a purple jacket, which was fantastically executed – and an excellent instance of a tailor guiding successfully on material. Liverano may be very costly although; cutters corresponding to Vittorio Salino which have left the home provide higher worth for cash.
Gianfrancesco Musella was one of many younger tailors I delivered to our Symposium occasion in Florence, and nobody higher deserved the invitation. He’s each extremely expert and genuinely progressive, bringing totally different flavours to the Milanese type. Gianfrancesco made me a navy cotton swimsuit, in the identical light-weight cotton as my brown Caliendo. It has hanging lapels that I like, and nice ending. I just like the type of the single-breasted jackets much less.
Panico is likely one of the greats of Neapolitan tailoring, and significantly recognized for his massive double-breasted lapels and cozy lower. I went for a grey-flannel swimsuit, and actually appreciated the type, although single-breasted. That consolation was additionally hanging, with some form by means of the waist on the entrance, however just about no suppression within the again. Antonio Panico has since retired nonetheless, and I’ve no expertise of the home since.
Massimo Pasinato is a small tailor within the Italian city of Vicenza. He is an effective cutter, and embraces expertise when it might assist him within the becoming course of, for instance. He made me a pleasant cavalry-twill swimsuit, and in addition presents some made-to-measure on his travels. He has been travelling recurrently to London, and if you’re after a tender Italian swimsuit that is superb worth, much like Vergallo, he’s price contemplating.
Nunzio Pirozzi runs a extremely regarded tailoring home in Naples, and travels to London, New York and Asia. He made me a tan corduroy swimsuit – similar to an Anderson & Sheppard DB that I like, however single breasted and within the informal Neapolitan type. The consequence was excellent when it comes to match and execution, however the type was a bit too brief and shut. A subsequent jacket and swimsuit have been extra my type, and I extremely suggest the household.
Lino Pommella was once the top trouser cutter at Rubinacci till, as typically appears to occur with Rubinacci cutters, he left to arrange on his personal. On this case, it was with the assistance of filmmaker Gianluca Migliarotti, and the 2 have established one thing of a model for high-end trousers – doing trunk reveals with The Armoury amongst different locations.
The most important identify in Naples. An attention-grabbing tackle Neapolitan type, with barely extra closed fronts and generally padding by means of the ends of the shoulders. Rubinacci’s energy is its styling, slightly than execution or worth. The cashmere Donegal jacket I had produced from an outdated 70s material was good, with an ideal make and okay match. Nevertheless it was Luca’s suggestion of the bronze-green lining that made it for me.
Salvatore Ambrosi is definitely one of the best recognized trouser maker, travelling to numerous cities and dealing with outlets like Brycelands. Salva makes to a really excessive stage, higher than most Neapolitans, with pretty hand detailing. He additionally has type, which helps slightly with commissions. My expertise was fairly inconsistent although, with just a few errors alongside the way in which.
Shibumi is usually a tie firm, based by Benedikt Fries and based mostly in Florence. I’d extremely suggest their ties – they all the time appeared to tie the proper knot – however he additionally used to run a well-priced bespoke providing, which Benedikt fitted however was made by a neighborhood tailor. Since Benedikt moved to Japan the service is now not provided, however he made me a barely boldly checked swimsuit right here.
One of many greatest names in Neapolitan tailoring. Gennaro Solito is a good cutter; he speaks no English however his son, Luigi, does. Their type is typical Neapolitan though they do a lot of common (not shirt) shoulders too. Luigi has made me just a few jackets since he began visiting London with Neapolitan shirtmaker Luca Avitabile, together with the primary – a light-weight inexperienced sports activities jacket. The make hasn’t all the time been nice, with just a few issues needing repairs, however he’s additionally just a little cheaper than others.
An area tailor from the city of Varese, north of Milan, Vergallo has change into a much bigger identify in tailoring since cutter Gianni Cleopazzo started travelling to London. A north Italian type, so softer than English however sharper than the Neapolitans, Vergallo made me a navy cashmere swimsuit and houndstooth jacket. There’s an openness on type and lower; not the best stage of make amongst Italians, however good worth.
Loris Vestrucci was a retired tailor, introduced out of hiding by Tomasso Melani and Tomasso Capozzoli of Stefano Bemer footwear, with the intention to create a brand new bespoke tailoring home. Vestrucci has a declare to make the unique Florentine swimsuit, and his tailoring is tender however elegant, with rounded hips and comparatively closed quarters. He made me a charcoal-flannel swimsuit however the operation has shrunk since, focusing extra on MTM and going beneath the Bemer identify.
Vittorio Salino is a Florence-based tailor who was once the top cutter at Liverano & Liverano. He makes a largely Florentine-style garment with a excessive stage of execution and a few nice private type (he’s a fan of classic clothes amongst different issues). For that type of tailoring I’d extremely suggest him. He made my a herringbone tweed jacket right here, which was excellent aside from just a little massive within the waist. That has subsequently been slimmed down.
Ciro Zizolfi was launched to me by Gianluca Migliarotti, the filmmaker and long-time shopper. Ciro cuts a reasonably conventional Neapolitan jacket, which implies a cushty match, just a little padding in shoulders, and general just a little longer and squarer than others. The nice match of my dark-green tweed jacket might be see within the photos on that publish.
SPAIN
The most effective of the three Spanish tailors I attempted, Calvo de Mora made a carefully fitted gray jacket, a self-backed gray donegal waistcoat, and inexperienced cotton trousers. The jacket was fairly shut by means of the skirt and tender within the shoulder, though not as informal as a Neapolitan make. Sadly Calvo don’t journey to London or anyplace else recurrently. They’re the most costly of the Spanish tailors right here, maybe inevitably given the standard.
Sastreria Langa are greatest recognized for his or her shirtmaker, Mariano, who has a protracted and storied listing of consumers. The shirt he made was well-fitted, if fairly formal and stiff within the collar, with a great deal of handwork. The linen swimsuit lower by Joaquin was a beautiful piece, largely due to the color of the Scabal linen. The jacket itself may have been made higher and there was a problem with the shoulders – partly on account of making an attempt to create a Neapolitan look.
Reillo is a small tailor – one cutter, Jose Maria, with some assist with making in the back of the store. Like Langa he’s good worth for cash, though the inexperienced cotton swimsuit that we made collectively suffered slightly within the shoulders. Partly, as with Langa, this was on account of making an attempt to create a really tender, Neapolitan-style jacket, which isn’t the pure type the Spanish tailors had been skilled on.
HONG KONG
A workforce based mostly in Hong Kong, Taipei and London, however utilizing a tailoring workshop in China. There have been many tailors through the years which have relaunched and rebranded in Hong Kong, making use of younger tailoring fanatics, however The Anthology is likely one of the greatest. Fashionable, with a beneficiant lower and nice type (due to founder Buzz Tang). Some small hangovers from cheaper manufacturing, however good worth and a lower that I significantly like and discover flattering. The Anthology workforce made me a grey-herringbone tweed swimsuit.
Again within the days once I travelled to Hong Kong rather a lot, and had much less cash, I attempted three or 4 totally different low-cost HK tailors. Edward Tam at E.Italian was one of the best, at round £300 for a swimsuit. That may have gone up now, and the lower was slightly boxy however in case you’re insistent, it may be a good selection for the worth. Reduce by hand and made by hand, with a becoming or two required. To not anyplace close to the identical customary as bespoke elsewhere (attempt WW Chan or related for that) however not a rip-off 24-hour tailor both.
Prologue is a Hong Kong store making in China – now in its personal workshop – with an excellent, fashionable sense of fashion. Just like The Anthology in that respect, however intentionally making at a barely decrease stage with the intention to be as accessible as doable. Jerry and the Prologue workforce have made me a inexperienced summer time jacket and a heavy glen-check winter one.
Certainly one of the best-known tailors in Hong Kong, and the one outdated identify that has actually tailored to the trendy progress of curiosity in bespoke – thanks in no small half to The Armoury. Additionally they make for Bryceland’s, nonetheless, and it was making an attempt the Bryceland’s lower that made me fee a jacket from WW Chan. The consequence was excellent, and I’d extremely suggest them. Additionally they do MTM by means of Bryceland’s which I’ve coated individually.
AMERICAS
Paolo is a younger tailor in New York – a spot with a historic lack of resident tailors – however with numerous expertise in tailoring factories and outlets, having helped run the customized programme at Paul Stuart for a number of years. His pure type is for an English-derived, drapey lower, however he’s additionally very versatile and enjoys making issues that match buyer concepts. He’s not a cutter, however not like many in New York, he does make use of a cutter and tailor, who work off-site. The two blazers he has made me have been excellent.
Sr Francesco was an Italian tailor resident in Toronto, Canada. After engaged on his personal there for a few years, he was introduced into the brand new Leatherfoot retailer when it opened, and given his personal workshop. The shop promoted his tailoring, and took him on trunk reveals to New York. Sadly the shop has subsequently closed. Sr Francesco made me a double-breasted donegal-tweed jacket, which I haven’t coated on the positioning as he’s now not out there to clients exterior Toronto.
