Brands We Work On

We do not stock or sell other houses. What we do is work on them — and after enough years of opening expensive jackets up, the label turns out to tell you far less than the construction does.

The houses that come through most

New high-end designer suiting takes fifteen percent off the tailoring. If you have just bought something good, that is the moment it is cheapest to make it fit — and the moment it is most worth doing, because the work goes into a garment nobody has worn out of shape yet.

What we will not take

Fast fashion. Amazon, H&M, Shein and the like fall outside our expertise and outside what we are willing to put the workroom's time into. It is arithmetic rather than snobbery: the work costs the same either way, and on those garments it will outlast the thing it was done to.

We will also tell you when a good label is not worth the work. A canvassed jacket with generous inlay will repay altering for years; a fused jacket cut two sizes wrong will not, whatever is stitched inside the pocket.
