UNITED KINGDOM
Anderson & Sheppard
The largest exponent of the ‘drape minimize’, with tender shoulders and fullness of fabric within the chest and again. Along with a carefully minimize waist, this offers the phantasm of a much bigger chest and could be very comfy. Some suppose that the tender shoulders are unflattering. It’s among the many cheaper homes on the Row, and I notably 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 minimize by John Hitchcock, who has now retired.
Benson & Clegg / Oliver Cross
Benson & Clegg weren’t largely recognized for his or her bespoke division, with a stronger repute 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 minimize. Since that swimsuit, Benson have largely shut down sadly, however Oliver Cross arrange on his personal – as ‘Ollie’s.
Chittleborough & Morgan
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 pinnacle cutter. Roy Chittleborough is retired, however Joe Morgan carries on slicing Sixties-inspired fits with giant lapels, nipped waists and robust shoulders. My navy swimsuit may be discovered right here.
Dege & Skinner
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 akin to Huntsman have modified look or possession over time. Cutter Nick De’Ath made me an outstanding 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 effectively.
Edward Sexton
Edward sadly handed away lately, however the type and home he based are nonetheless going sturdy. Edward made me a improbable double-breasted flannel swimsuit and a lengthy gray overcoat. The previous has proved very helpful and the latter additionally, after it was shortened somewhat (by 4 inches) a 12 months after making. Sexton additionally provide an offshore service which is partly made in China, which we reviewed right here.
Gieves & Hawkes (Davide Taub)
Davide Taub, of whose type I’m a giant fan, is the pinnacle 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 revolutionary, and has made a number of very authentic 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 fascinating piece is this inexperienced linen swimsuit, which is placing for being mild in development but sharp in look.
Graham Browne
A conventional Metropolis tailor in London. This implies not making to the identical commonplace as Savile Row, however doing the essential issues of slicing by hand and dealing up a private paper sample. Graham Browne is nice worth as as consequence, and I’ve had many issues made over time, together with my first bespoke swimsuit in London. (One other tailor, Choppin & Lodge, was an offshoot of Graham Browne however not exists. That workforce, along with Dan McAngus from Graham Browne, runs MacAngus & Wainwright.)
Henry Poole
Often known as the based of Savile Row, the Poole type is extra reasonable and versatile than both A&S or Huntsman. The fundamental minimize 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 anything, but it’s conservative in every part by the material. (Subsequent to that publish, I’ve had two further buttons added on the high, and swapped the buttons for brown horn somewhat than gray.)
Huntsman
The other of Anderson & Sheppard in type, with sturdy, padded shoulders and a carefully minimize chest. Comparatively slim via the waist and with little skirt, it’s recognized for a one-button fastening. Most different English tailors minimize this conventional type, with slight variations. I favored the searching 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 Sargent
Kathryn was the pinnacle tailor at Gieves & Hawkes. Her type is, like Poole and others, a conventional English navy minimize. My journey blazer and trousers had been minimize by Kathryn Sargent whereas she was at Gieves. She has since arrange her personal premises, and made a gorgeous tweed jacket for my spouse there, which mirrored her explicit ability in girls’s types.
Kent and Haste
John Kent and Terry Haste work on Sackville Avenue. Terry was head cutter at Huntsman and his type could be very related; John tends to chop a barely smaller again and slimmer leg – sharper, in that means. John made my sample and I’ve two fits from it, the second minimize and fitted by Terry – therefore the distinction in types famous above.
Manning & Manning
Bryan Manning is an previous tailor who used to work at Kilgour and has operated on his personal for a number of years, assembly purchasers at Holland & Sherry on Savile Row or in workrooms on Tottenham Court docket Highway. He’s good worth for cash, however the high-twist summer time swimsuit he made me had some points, notably across the ending.
Michael Browne
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 – is just not. His purpose has been to supply the very best garment, it doesn’t matter what the fee. This implies that the gorgeous coat he made for me was very costly, but it surely makes Michael distinctive.
PA Crowe
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 finally had a pair of brown flannel trousers made. The outcomes weren’t good, with the persistent difficulty I’ve of hole fronts and bulging rear inflicting the trousers to lose their sharpness too simply.
Richard Anderson
Richard was the pinnacle cutter at Huntsman and his minimize is analogous, although with much less padding within the shoulder. One distinction is maybe 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.
Richard James
Ben Clarke at Richard James has been rising the bespoke aspect of the enterprise, which has its personal devoted premises on Clifford Avenue. 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.
Steven Hitchcock
Son of A&S head cutter John Hitchcock, Steven was skilled there and his type could be very related. He now lives exterior of London however has a workshop and appartment in Fitzrovia the place he sees prospects. Steven has made me a tweed jacket and moleskin trousers, a gorgeous pale-grey jacket from the Lamlana bunch, a improbable charcoal donegal jacket and a navy cashmere. I might extremely advocate him for this type of tailoring.
Taillour
Arrange by Fred Nieddu, beforehand the pinnacle cutter at Timothy Everest, Taillour advantages from a excessive degree of Savile Row product and a way of favor that plenty 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 is predicated in East London, close to Shoreditch. He has made me a suede belted jacket and brown chalkstripe swimsuit.
Thom Sweeney
A extra up to date minimize than most on this listing, Thom Sweeney began out providing a very brief jacket, slim sleeve and fitted waist. They’ve moderated their type over time, 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 effectively (although I considerably regretted the boldness of the windowpane examine).
Timothy Everest
Tim is not providing bespoke tailoring, having exited his personal enterprise and now concerned with Gray Flannel on Chiltern Avenue. The stunning bespoke operation on Elder Avenue did spawn Taillour although, coated elsewhere, and when it was open Tim made me a swimsuit and velvet jacket that had been each strong, however some minor points and poor type selections on my half.
Whitcomb & Shaftesbury
Whitcomb & Shaftesbury has a particularly good worth service referred to as Traditional Bespoke that’s minimize in London however has a lot of the making carried out in a workshop they personal and have skilled themselves in India. The result’s maybe one of the best place to start out for any full bespoke swimsuit. The complete evaluate of the navy worsted swimsuit they made me may be seen right here. They’ve additionally develop into my go-to location for bespoke trousers, on condition that worth.
JAPAN
Kenjiro Suzuki
Kenjiro lately moved again to Japan, having been based mostly in France for a very long time underneath his personal title, and former to that the pinnacle cutter at Smalto (the opposite large title in Paris after Cifonelli and Camps de Luca). His type is just 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 gorgeous navy cotton swimsuit. We’ve coated different Japanese tailors (right here) however not had something made by them.
SOUTH KOREA
Assisi
I used to be very impressed after 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 gorgeous sense of favor that tends in direction of the fuller, late 80s or 90s type, however can minimize something. And the execution of the tailoring was improbable. The one factor they will typically lack is trimmings akin to buttons, as these must be imported. They journey to New York for trunk reveals, and have made me a tweed jacket and a light-grey swimsuit.
B&Tailor
B&Tailor had been the primary well-known Korean tailor, and several other of the homes in the present day have individuals who began there. They’re additionally thebiggest. Chad Park leads the home, together with his father overseeing the making. He has an amazing sense of color and magnificence, although the informal clothes is rather less basic and to not my style. Chad made me an outstanding double-breasted overcoat.
B&Tailor/Robin Petterson
That is included extra only for the file, because the service not exists. However for some time B&Tailor labored in Europe via 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
Luca Museo’s type is just not that dissimilar to the opposite Koreans coated right here, but it surely does lead in direction of the extra tonal and maybe bigger in minimize. See my evaluate of the navy three-piece swimsuit they made me right here for some illustration of that. They’re additionally as revolutionary as the opposite tailors, and have their very own very good knitwear line.
FRANCE
Cifonelli
The largest of the Parisian tailors, the Cifonelli minimize is characterised by a light-weight development however a energy of form achieved by a roped shoulder and slim waist. Beautiful 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 the earth. I’ve made a number of issues with them over time, beginning with a tweed jacket. The most effective have been two overcoats, nonetheless, one navy and one brown.
Camps de Luca
Camps de Luca is a small however no much less advantageous Parisian tailor, and made me a gorgeous 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 basic than Cifonelli, they do additionally make suede and leather-based items, and a few uncommon jackets for warm climate.
ITALY
Caliendo
A small, second-generation tailor in Naples. Elia Caliendo is the cutter and his father nonetheless does a number of the tailoring work. Neapolitan type is pretty constant, with self-lined jackets within the foreparts, very mild development, shirt shoulders and people curving pockets. The largest distinction between them is high quality of ending and match, and Elia is nice on each. He visits London each month or so, which makes him costlier than some. I’ve had a summer time jacket a Everlasting Fashion tweed jacket and several other different issues made by Elia.
Cerrato
A Neapolitan trouser maker with repute – and making trousers for a number of the different Neapolitan tailoring homes – Marco Cerrato has began to increase extra overseas together with his brother in London dealing with plenty of commissions. Marco has made me a couple of 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.
Ciardi
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 develop into certainly one of my favorite tailors ever, for his character, minimize, and consistency. The minimize is extra conventional Neapolitan, which suggests barely longer and extra beneficiant within the physique and shoulder, whereas nonetheless being tender. My tweed jacket particularly was excellent.
Cornacchia
Most areas of Italy have a bespoke tailor or two left, in contrast to most different elements of the world, together with England. Within the Puglia space within the south-east, I visited a couple of and tried out Nicola Cornacchia, who was beneficial 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 advocate them to anybody that discover themselves within the space.
Dalcuore
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 superbly fitted and in a basic Neapolitan type – solely missing a few particulars like match across the trousers that maybe may have been corrected at a second becoming.
Ettore de Cesare
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 struggle again towards that tendency. However he’s a really proficient 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
Ferdinando Caraceni, certainly one of 4 outfits doing bespoke in Milan and Rome underneath the Caraceni title, made me a cashmere herringbone jacket. A superbly 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 12 months.
Formosa
My expertise with Formosa in Naples was not an excellent one – however as with different adverse experiences, it’s exhausting to inform how a lot this must be a conclusion concerning the tailoring home as an entire. Gennaro needed to strive utilizing two youthful cutters for my jacket, whom he was coaching to take over from the senior cutter. What they made was not match, and the following try to appropriate it by the senior workforce was not ample. I ultimately gave up on the jacket.
Gaetano Aloisio
One of many largest 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 stunning piece for Everlasting Fashion on his experiences, which may be seen right here. His type is extra just like the northern tailors in Italy, however with a barely softer shoulder expression than both.
Granata
Biagio Granata is a younger cutter who arrange his personal operation a couple of years in the past. Sadly, whereas clearly cutter, he suffered from a scarcity of consistency in visits to London, in execution of types, and a scarcity 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 match within the high half, however had gaping vents. Exhausting to advocate on that foundation.
Liverano & Liverano
The most effective-known tailor in Florence, Antonio Liverano cuts a brief jacket and slim trousers. The home is kind of up to date in that respect, and has been popularised by the help of The Armoury in New York and Hong Kong. Antonio made me a purple jacket, which was superbly executed – and instance of a tailor guiding successfully on material. Liverano could be very costly although; cutters akin to Vittorio Salino which have left the home provide higher worth for cash.
Musella Dembech
Gianfrancesco Musella was one of many younger tailors I dropped at our Symposium occasion in Florence, and nobody higher deserved the invitation. He’s each extremely expert and genuinely revolutionary, 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 placing lapels that I like, and nice ending. I just like the type of the single-breasted jackets much less.
Panico
Panico is likely one of the greats of Neapolitan tailoring, and notably recognized for his large double-breasted lapels and comfy minimize. I went for a grey-flannel swimsuit, and actually favored the type, although single-breasted. That consolation was additionally placing, with some form via 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.
Pasinato
Massimo Pasinato is a small tailor within the Italian city of Vicenza. He is an effective cutter, and embraces expertise when it might probably assist him within the becoming course of, for instance. He made me a pleasant cavalry-twill swimsuit, and likewise gives some made-to-measure on his travels. He has been travelling recurrently to London, and in case you are after a tender Italian swimsuit that is superb worth, just like Vergallo, he’s value contemplating.
Pirozzi
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 advocate the household.
Pommella
Lino Pommella was the pinnacle 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.
Rubinacci
The largest title in Naples. An fascinating tackle Neapolitan type, with barely extra closed fronts and typically padding via the ends of the shoulders. Rubinacci’s energy is its styling, somewhat than execution or worth. The cashmere Donegal jacket I had comprised of an previous 70s material was good, with an amazing make and okay match. But it surely was Luca’s suggestion of the bronze-green lining that made it for me.
Salvatore Ambrosi
Salvatore Ambrosi is well one of the best recognized trouser maker, travelling to a lot of cities and dealing with retailers like Brycelands. Salva makes to a really excessive degree, higher than most Neapolitans, with pretty hand detailing. He additionally has type, which helps somewhat with commissions. My expertise was fairly inconsistent although, with a couple of errors alongside the way in which.
Shibumi
Shibumi is generally a tie firm, based by Benedikt Fries and based mostly in Florence. I’d extremely advocate their ties – they all the time appeared to tie the right 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 not supplied, however he made me a barely boldly checked swimsuit right here.
Solito
One of many largest 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 numerous common (not shirt) shoulders too. Luigi has made me a couple of 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 a couple of issues needing repairs, however he’s additionally slightly cheaper than others.
Vergallo
A neighborhood tailor from the city of Varese, north of Milan, Vergallo has develop into a much bigger title 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 may be an openness on type and minimize; not the best degree of make amongst Italians, however good worth.
Vestrucci / Stefano Bemer
Loris Vestrucci was a retired tailor, introduced out of hiding by Tomasso Melani and Tomasso Capozzoli of Stefano Bemer sneakers, 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 underneath the Bemer title.
Vittorio Salino
Vittorio Salino is a Florence-based tailor who was the pinnacle cutter at Liverano & Liverano. He makes a largely Florentine-style garment with a excessive degree of execution and a few nice private type (he’s a fan of classic clothes amongst different issues). For that type of tailoring I might extremely advocate him. He made my a herringbone tweed jacket right here, which was good apart from slightly large within the waist. That has subsequently been slimmed down.
Zizolfi
Ciro Zizolfi was launched to me by Gianluca Migliarotti, the filmmaker and long-time shopper. Ciro cuts a reasonably conventional Neapolitan jacket, which suggests a snug match, slightly padding in shoulders, and total slightly longer and squarer than others. The nice match of my dark-green tweed jacket may be see within the photographs on that publish.
SPAIN
Calvo de Mora
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 via 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 costliest of the Spanish tailors right here, maybe inevitably given the standard.
Langa
Sastreria Langa are greatest recognized for his or her shirtmaker, Mariano, who has a protracted and storied listing of shoppers. The shirt he made was well-fitted, if fairly formal and stiff within the collar, with a great deal of handwork. The linen swimsuit minimize by Joaquin was a stunning piece, largely due to the color of the Scabal linen. The jacket itself may have been made higher and there was a difficulty with the shoulders – partly because of attempting to create a Neapolitan look.
Reillo
Reillo is a small tailor – one cutter, Jose Maria, with some assist with making behind the store. Like Langa he’s good worth for cash, though the inexperienced cotton swimsuit that we made collectively suffered somewhat within the shoulders. Partly, as with Langa, this was because of attempting to create a really tender, Neapolitan-style jacket, which isn’t the pure type the Spanish tailors had been skilled on.
HONG KONG
The Anthology
A workforce based mostly in Hong Kong, Taipei and London, however utilizing a tailoring workshop in China. There have been many tailors over time which have relaunched and rebranded in Hong Kong, making use of younger tailoring lovers, however The Anthology is likely one of the greatest. Fashionable, with a beneficiant minimize and nice type (because of founder Buzz Tang). Some small hangovers from cheaper manufacturing, however good worth and a minimize that I notably like and discover flattering. The Anthology workforce made me a grey-herringbone tweed swimsuit.
E.Italian
Again within the days after 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 minimize was somewhat boxy however when you’re insistent, it may be a good selection for the value. Reduce by hand and made by hand, with a becoming or two required. To not anyplace close to the identical commonplace as bespoke elsewhere (strive WW Chan or related for that) however not a rip-off 24-hour tailor both.
Prologue
Prologue is a Hong Kong store making in China – now in its personal workshop – with , fashionable sense of favor. Much like The Anthology in that respect, however intentionally making at a barely decrease degree 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.
WW Chan
One among the best-known tailors in Hong Kong, and the one previous title that has actually tailored to the fashionable progress of curiosity in bespoke – thanks in no small half to The Armoury. Additionally they make for Bryceland’s, nonetheless, and it was attempting the Bryceland’s minimize that made me fee a jacket from WW Chan. The consequence was excellent, and I’d extremely advocate them. Additionally they do MTM via Bryceland’s which I’ve coated individually.
AMERICAS
Paolo Martorano
Paolo is a younger tailor in New York – a spot with a historic lack of resident tailors – however with a lot of expertise in tailoring factories and retailers, having helped run the customized programme at Paul Stuart for a number of years. His pure type is for an English-derived, drapey minimize, however he’s additionally very versatile and enjoys making issues that match buyer concepts. He isn’t a cutter, however in contrast to many in New York, he does make use of a cutter and tailor, who work off-site. The 2 blazers he has made me have been excellent.
Sr Francesco
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 location as he’s not out there to prospects exterior Toronto.
