OUR SIGNATURE ALTERATIONS
Close to YOU
When looking to make it smaller or more comfortable, the foundation of each item of clothing is centred around the point where it sits and the magic of a perfectly fitting waist or a close shoulder will instantly bring the garment close to your body and make you look and feel amazing.
Chest and waistline
In keeping with your build, we frame the waist point to allow the jacket, waistcoat, overcoat or shirt to sit impeccably and let the flow of the garment follow your shape: look mighty and powerful, let your chest take shape and the back showcase your manly stand. Trousers deserve the same attention, and we strive to create an impeccable fit to reflect your personality.
Shoulders width
Pitching the head of a sleeve right where it calls is paramount. Our Signature shoulder always sits right where the body calls for, and from there we allow the flow of the jacket, shirt or overcoat to sit seamlessly around your body to create that most important comfort point for the final look you’ll be complimented for.
Impeccable HEMS
When looking to perfect the length of your garment, the emphasis is to bring the level to that very point of perfection: not just ‘a hem’ but THE HEM!
Trousers
The most demanding of all hems despite the small area we are looking to perfect: so many questions, endless options. Let us help you here: over the many past seasons we have seen them all and we are delighted to guide you. Based on the final length let’s play for a moment with whether we could add a few centimetres of height by tapering the leg, or perfect the brake at the hem meet the shoe... small details but well worth implementing.
Jacket, Overcoat, Shirts
Our eye moves with Fashion trends and we are here to ensure your new jacket or favourite overcoat is in perfect line with your proportions and current fashion trends. That’s why the length of your jacket is always important and we’ll take into consideration all the elements to make it perfect. Original details like buttonholes, vents and other features on the hem will be retained whilst creating the new length and when necessary, we take care to re-align the width of the body in line with the final new length.
Sleeves
The length of your sleeves speaks volumes and we are here to frame it to perfection. First let us assess the way the garment you are wearing sits correctly on your shoulders, as this is the key element in a perfect sleeve length. If necessary we’ll recommend to bring the shoulder to the perfect point and then work on the hem of the sleeves. Original details like buttonholes, vents and other features will be retained whilst shortening the sleeve either from the shoulder or from the hem.
