Every gown we make is made for someone in particular.

The process begins with cloth. We work with the same mills as the Savile Row tailoring houses — a range that covers wool flannels from light to heavy, seersucker, cashmere, and a number of more unusual options that we keep because they are interesting. You are welcome to bring your own cloth if you have something in mind.

One tailor handles your gown from first cut to last stitch. This is not a production process. It is closer to commissioning than ordering.

Customs gowns from £650. Lead is approximately 6 weeks.

On cloth: We use wool flannel as our house cloth because it is the right choice — warm, well-behaved, available in every weight from 10oz to 16oz and almost every colour. Cashmere for those who want it. Wool-silk-linen blends for lighter wear. The cloth bunches are available on request, or we can send samples of anything that interests you.

On sizing: Made to order means made to your measurements. We will ask for chest, height, and a few additional measurements, and will advise on anything we need to know. No fitting appointment is required.

On gifts: Custom gowns make exceptional gifts. If you are commissioning a gown for someone else, we can guide you through the process and arrange delivery and packaging accordingly. Gift certificates are also available if you would prefer the recipient to choose.
