Master Craftsmanship

Our Savile Row-trained tailors bring traditional British tailoring expertise to every jacket alteration. This heritage ensures superior craftsmanship that maintains the garment’s original character while achieving perfect fit.

Technical Excellence

We understand jacket construction intimately. From canvas layers to shoulder padding, our expertise ensures alterations work with the garment’s structure, not against it, for lasting results.

Crown Shortening Specialisation

For sleeve adjustments, we recommend shortening from the crown (shoulder) rather than the cuff. This preserves button details, maintains proper proportions, and achieves superior aesthetic results.

Expert Assessment

Comprehensive evaluation of your jacket’s current fit, construction, and alteration potential. We discuss your style preferences, lifestyle needs, and desired outcomes.

Professional Consultation

Our master tailors provide honest advice about what alterations will best serve your needs, including recommendations for achieving optimal fit and style.

Quality Assurance

Thorough inspection ensures every alteration meets our exacting standards for craftsmanship, fit, and finish before completion.

Final Fitting

We recommend trying on your altered jacket during collection to ensure complete satisfaction and perfect fit for your specific needs.

• Shoulder Line – Should sit naturally at your shoulder point without overhang or pulling
• Chest & Waist – Comfortable room for movement without excess fabric
• Sleeve Length – Proper exposure of shirt cuff (approximately ¼ inch)
• Jacket Length – Should cover your seat while maintaining proportion

Professional Standards

Our alterations ensure your jacket meets both contemporary fit preferences and classic tailoring principles, creating timeless style that flatters your physique.

Comfort Considerations

We balance style with functionality, ensuring altered jackets provide comfortable range of motion for your daily activities and professional requirements.

• Appropriate Undergarments – Wear typical shirts or layers you’ll use with the jacket
• Proper Shoes – Wear shoes similar to what you’ll typically wear with the jacket
• Style References – Photos of desired fits or styles if making significant changes
• Usage Information – Details about how and when you’ll wear the jacket

• Be Specific – Clearly communicate your comfort preferences and fit concerns
• Consider Lifestyle – Think about your daily activities and how the jacket should accommodate them
• Ask Questions – Our master tailors are happy to explain alteration options and recommendations
• Allow Time – Comprehensive consultations typically take 20-30 minutes

Wardrobe Enhancement

Professional jacket alterations extend the life of your existing wardrobe while ensuring you always present your best professional image.

Confidence Building

A perfectly fitted jacket provides confidence in business and social situations, allowing you to focus on what matters most.

Cost-Effective Solution

Expert alterations are often more economical than purchasing new jackets, especially for quality garments that deserve professional attention.
