Bespoke Coats & Clothing

One of the great benefits of making here by hand is that we are able to offer a bespoke service at the same cost as our ready to wear atlernatives. Using our bespoke service you can effectively design your own garment, matching your chosen fabric to your favourite style; choosing your collar and cuff style, your lining, trim and closures.

Pricing for our bespoke pieces is based on our RTW alternatives. Additional charges are only raised when extra materials and or labour are involved. We pass these charges on at cost and will always confirm your price upfront.

Going bespoke, you can specify everything from your outer, lining, trim and length to a sleeve length, collar style and closure. On several of our styles we can also add or subtract width at the all important bust, shoulder and hip areas.

If you have doubts on sizing or style, you are welcome to use one of our fitting services. If you find your piece needs a tweak when you receive it, let us know; we will be happy to sort it.

How to Start

Depending on what it is you are looking for, you can either
start by choosing your style, or choosing your fabric. 

Each style is shown with the fabrics that we can make it in and each fabric is shown with the styles we can use it with. Our prices vary according to both style and fabric, reflecting the cost of fabrication, the amount of fabric used and the price of each fabric. 

If there's a style you would like in a fabric that isn't offered with it, do get in touch and we will let you know what is possible.

Textiles

We value rarity and relish variety and offer a dizzying variety of fabulous fabrics.

Our bouclés and brocades are particularly memorable; accordingly we purchase and commission these in short lengths, allowing for a maximum of 12 coats. This means we can offer our customers a constantly changing choice of fabrics. It also means that when ordering one you will have certainty your coat won't be one of many.

We source our wools, tweeds, flannels and silks with care to provide as much choice as we can on weight, warmth, colour and pattern. If you don't see exactly what you need, do please get in touch. If we can source it, we will — but please remember that with the exception of our light silks, we will only buy British-made textiles.

Linings & Trims

We like to make our coats as beautiful inside as they are outside. Not to miss an opportunity to play with colour, we offer our linings in about twenty different shades and our bias trims in more than thirty. We also take as much care as we do with our outer fabrics in selecting them. If we source a new outer fabric and don't see a perfect complement in our existing inner offering, we find it and add it to our lineup.

We suggest a lining and trim combination for all our outer fabrics, but you are free to choose your own combination from the selection below. We will send you a shot of your fabric, lining and bias combination to make sure you are happy with it before proceeding with your order.

 If you don't see anything that works for you, let us know
and we can help source your ideal colour.

Sizing

We have measured and sized our styles on real women — but of course some of us have broader backs and deeper diaphragms, others fuller busts, narrower shoulders, higher hips ... and so the list goes on.

Our size guide sets out the measurements in each of our styles. Please do be aware that the measurements given are the measurements of the garments themselves — and do take into account the weight of the fabrics you are using — a thicker or more structured fabric will make a
slightly smaller coat than a lighter alternative.

If in doubt, do get in touch. Similarly, if you need your coat tweaked from the house sizes listed — or if you simply need a larger or smaller size — please do let us know. For the most part we should be able to sort you out.

If you aren't sure whether a style will work for you or which size will fit you best, we have several different fitting options:

- come and see us in Wales

- book a video consultation

- join us at one of our pop-ups

- book an in-person appointment in your own home

- ... or just get in touch!

Ordering

If you would like to place an order with style or size adjustments, please send us an email or give us a call beforehand, advising us of
any tweaks you would like to the house style or sizing.

We will advise if your changes incur any extra charges before proceeding with your order. If you are happy to proceed we will send you an email confirmation and, if necessary, a further invoice.

We request payment of the full amount prior to ordering any necessary fabric, cutting and making your item.
