Savile Row Bespoke
To commission a bespoke suit is the epitome of sartorial luxury. Every aspect of the garment from the fabric to the style is customised and tailored for your unique body. With a virtually unlimited choice of fabrics and style, there is no limitation except your imagination. Any unique creation is possible - from designing your own fabric to printing a customised lining, you can play designer, or you can sit back and let us create a masterpiece for you, enjoying the elegance and style that has come to represent British tailoring.
With over 400 years of accumulated experience on Savile row, our master cutters and tailors take care of ensuring a perfect fit creating the ultimate collaboration of design and craftsmanship.
Our bespoke suits are made without compromise by the best craftsmen in Savile Row. All garments are cut and made in workshops in the west end of London.
Classic Bespoke
The Classic Bespoke follows the same fitting process as our Savile Row Bespoke.
Customers are measured and fitted in London by our cutter who cuts the pattern in London. The suit is then basted in London prior to a first fitting. Following this first fitting, it is then recut and re-basted in London for a second fitting and then sent to our India workshop for assembly before returning to London for the third fitting. Multiple fittings ensure a perfect fit. The suits include all the details found in our Savile Row Bespoke suits.
To ensure this unique goal, we have setup a unique workshop in Chennai -India, where handpicked craftsmen from our rehabilitation program are trained to the exacting standards found in Savile Row.
The program is an ongoing collaboration between our tailors in London and India. Our master tailors from London travel on a frequent basis to India to ensure the highest standards are met and maintained.
Each garment that is made under this program is made to identical standards as those made in London and checked by one of our master tailors in London before delivery to a customer.
Bespoke Shirts
There can be few experiences more satisfying than wearing a shirt that has been created for your body alone. For those of us who have experienced the tyranny of compromising on a collar size or settling on a sleeve that is longer than should be, the opportunity to don a shirt that has been designed to follow the contours of your very own body is an instantly liberating experience.
At Whitcomb & Shaftesbury, our tradition in fine tailoring ensures that the experience of choosing a shirt is truly a pleasure. From the minute that the first of over a dozen measurements is taken, it becomes apparent that wearing a shirt will no longer be an exercise in compromise. With hundreds of fabrics and patterns to choose from and over a dozen cuff and collar styles, even the fussiest of customers will be satisfied.
Every shirt is made completely by hand with hand turned and hand attached pure canvas collars and hand stitched buttonholes in pure silk thread. Genuine mother of pearl buttons, removable brass collar stays and invisible single needle stitching provide the finishing touches to a beautiful garment.
