Cutting

Perhaps the most critical part of the bespoke suit is the cutting. A good cut is central to how the final garment will look when finished. Using a marriage of technique and art, the cutter will combine his measurements and observations with the desires and wishes of the customer to arrive at the perfect garment.

Cutting is a skill that takes many years to perfect, perhaps that is why so few in the world ever reach the level of head cutter. Even with a complete knowledge of the technical skills required to interpret measurements into a pattern, one needs many more years of experience on the job to truly master all that is required to produce a garment at the highest level.

 Our cutters have over 65 years of experience on Savile Row. The experience is critical to determine a customer's 'figuration' at a glance and to translate these observations into a paper pattern that is accurate from the start. The first fitting is produced from this pattern and the importance of a good beginning to the suit making process cannot be over-emphasised as it eradicates the need for extra fittings and alterations.

Our knowledge and experience enables us to cut superb garments that enhance the customers figure, no matter what shape.
