5 Simple Steps...
Initial Consultation
To begin, you’ll be offered a convenient appointment to discuss your suiting preferences and needs, whether it's a special occasion or everyday wear. We'll guide you through selecting the perfect cloth and style choices for your suit. Over 20 measurements and detailed figurations are taken.
The Pattern
Using the measures and information from your initial consultation, our head cutter then meticulously crafts your unique, hand-drafted pattern. The technique used to draft your patterns is called 'Rock of Eye’. It is a rare skill not often used by many tailoring houses in this modern age who work from a house block pattern. The rock of eye technique reflects the skill and many years of experience that your cutter has, going beyond just the set of measures to create something completely unique to you.
Trimming
You’ve picked out a cloth, your pattern is cut, what’s next? Your garment needs a few extra details or trimmings before we start sewing, like lining, melton for your collar, canvas, and silks. Even the smallest details, like buttonhole thread shade and horn buttons, are carefully matched to compliment your order.
The Make
Your Cutter carefully selects specialised tailors for each component of your suit—coat (jacket), trousers, and waistcoat. These craftsmen, with unique skills, meticulously craft each garment and will remain as your craftsmen for as long as you choose to order from us. Throughout the process, your Cutter oversees every stage to ensure the final outcome exceeds your expectations and meets Redmayne's high standards.
Fittings
We arrange with you one or two fittings at different stages of the make to ensure your garment fits perfectly. After that, we'll add the final touches like hand sewn edges and buttonholes, and the final pressing. While your complete satisfaction is important, our commitment to it doesn't stop there. When you've had the chance to really enjoy your bespoke suit we get in touch to check how your suit is settling in, as like your favourite pair of leather shoes the more you wear it the better it come to shape and fit you.
Heritage. Authority. Experience.
"It's hard to describe the experience at Redmayne, almost as hard as describing how you feel wearing one of their suits. Both experiences are paramount. Tom and Claire are welcoming, kind, funny and generous, both masters of their crafts. Tom cuts with majesty and explains the art of tailoring as well as anyone while Claire exudes a warmth and kindess that permeates the fabric of the clothes themselves. I couldn't recommend Redmayne more, whether it be for a 3 piece, an overcoat, a shirt or just a cup of tea"
