Henry Bailey Bespoke Tailors - Bespoke Tailoring Service

Our tailor is there to offer advice and help you select a cloth catering to your specific need. Measurements are then taken in order to draft your individual pattern. Your cloth selection is cut, paying particular attention to match checks or stripes to enhance the silhouette of your suit. Each suit is then trimmed to your chosen lining, and horn or mother-of pearl buttons.

We use the finest interlinings of wool and mohair body canvas, horsehair, chest canvas and domette. These layers are then pad stitched together by hand, forming a soft mould for the foundation of your coat. Each buttonhole is meticulously sewn by hand, using matching silk twist. All buttons, including hook and bar on trousers are securely fastened. After each garment is cut and trimmed by our master cutter, the garment will be assembled/basted ready for your first fitting by our skilled tailors under the supervision of our Master Tailor. After each fitting, your pattern is corrected and your suit is re-cut taking into account any adjustments needed.

Once your garment is completed, we will advise you to come in for your final try-on, or we can arrange to have your garment delivered to your door. For your first order, you will be required to come for several fittings. All adjustments are noted and transferred onto your pattern, thus creating a perfect template for the figuration of your body. Records and details of every order are kept together with your pattern.

Our two-piece suit is almost sewn entirely by hand and requires at least 52 hours of hand work. We leave a generous amount of inlay, allowing for 3" of adjustment to the garment. We also provide an after care service for alterations, dry cleaning and invisible mending.
