• Button up.

    No plastic buttons are used in our garments. We offer buttons in horn, corozo (which is a nut), or metal.

    The horn has been ethically sourced from non-endangered breeds of cows and buffalo and then turned, smoothed, and polished by local artisans into beautiful buttons.

    Corozo is a 100% natural product which comes from the nut of the tagua palm tree, found in the tropical rainforests of the Pacific region, nuts which are only picked when fallen naturally, making it a sustainable, eco-friendly material.

  • Thread the needle.

    It holds everything together - literally. And the threads we use are either cotton or silk, never polyester.

    Synthetic threads, like polyester, are strong but can melt when too high a heat is used on an iron and is, of course not a planet-friendly choice.

  • Circulate it.

    We hand-cut every tailored garment from a single piece of cloth which produces off-cuts. These off-cuts go to our felt and sustainable packaging partners at Edward Clay Ltd, who are a 10 minute walk from our workshop in West Yorkshire.

  • Close to home.

    With no exceptions, the cloth, lining and components that go into our handmade tailored suits are sourced from Yorkshire first, UK second, and then to Europe if the quality level we require cannot be achieved closer to home.

    Additionally, when you visit us in our showrooms and when we visit you in your home, we stock only Yorkshire beverages and refreshments as a way to support the community around us.

  • Slow to make and slow to break.

    Our garments take anywhere between 8 and 10 weeks to create. While a bit of patience is required, once your suit is finished, the minimum life span is 10 years with most lasting 20 years or more.

    Join us in fighting the overfilling of landfills with fast fashion and go the slow route.

  • What you don't see.

    Canvas is the layer inside your jacket and waistcoat that gives it shape. We use only natural, fully-floating canvases in all of our garments. What this means is the canvases are made from horse and camel hair layered with cotton domette and then stitched inside so it floats over the body.

    The way this is done in lower-quality suits is using a polyester canvas which is fused (in other words, glued) on the inside. Over time, the shape of your garments will become distorted with a polyester canvas whereas with a natural canvas, the heat of your body allows the canvas to mold to your body's shape and therefore, the fit gets better with every wear.
