I commissioned two bespoke suits (yeah two together, my bad) with the Cad & The Dandy Saville Row…read morestore. Had read few good articles about them online (now I realize most of them maybe fake). Their staff keeps churning so you rarely have a single point of contact. Seems like the person who took my measurement had no or poor experience at doing this (had to take it twice). As part of any custom tailoring process I went there for the fitting. The suit jacket was way off so they made the markings and called me another day. Went again, same problem. Took marking again and then delivered it next day. Now, I don't even live in London but fell for the Saville Row branding and kept going there. The end result was a horribly stitched suit that literally has a hunchback. Very amateur stitching. I don't' (and can't) wear them so it's a waste of lot of money and time and energy. You would be better off buying a ready to wear suit from M&S (literally) than trying Cad & The Dandy.

Just walking into the office I had people asking where I'd got it from, which speaks for itself. The guys are very friendly - nothing like the stuffy experience you expect to get from a typical tailor. For people like me who've never had a suit made for them before, it removed the nervousness immediately and I wasn't made to feel like a moron! I have no idea how their suits would compare to a full blown Savile Row outfit, but I can only say that they knock the socks off anything you buy off the peg at a similar price.

Getting a repair at Carman's Tailoring Studio was an odd, slightly uncomfortable and costly…read moreexperience. Carmen was nice at first and straightforward about the alteration and cost. I asked for a further alteration. She said she would do this. I recieved a text saying my garment was ready for collection. When I went to fetch the dress she almost barked at me: ' your dress is not ready' after I had recieved a text from her saying it was. I then heard nothing for weeks and had to chase her for progress. When I finally went to collect the garment Carman claimed she had texted me about the cost of the final repair. I had recieved no such text. I showed her my phone showing I had had no text to this effect and she sort of mumbled. Won't use again the alterations were not terrible but the customer service was peculiar and the price on the high side.

Been wearing the trousers for a few days now and they're working like a charm.

A&S has a unique house style with lived in elegance that is unlike any other suit that you will own. I flew in from the United States and immediately had my measurements taken. After two fittings and two weeks, my suit was ready to take home. Now A&S actually makes at least two trips to the United States a year. On a side note, Fred Astaire apparently had his suits made here in the old Savile Row location. I had my suits made here before Prince Charles.

Anderson & Sheppard apparently is the biggest tailoring house on Savile Row with allegedly around…read more1500 suits manufactured each year. They have been around for about 100 years and have catered to some of the most famous Savile Row clients. Their house style is different to most other Savile Row houses (except for the A & S pupils that opened their own businesses, like Thomas Mahon or Steven Hitchcock). There isn't anything stiff or military in their suits, and in this respect, they produce a completely different type of garment as compared to the likes of Huntsman. They use a "soft tailoring" approach with very little padding, and their suits have natural shoulders and fairly bulky sleeves. The chests and backs of their garments are also quite drapy, allowing for better movement of your arms and shoulders. Unfortunately, that takes away from the clean, slick look that many clients are looking for in a well-tailored suit. However, if you have broader shoulders, this may be the way to go. Unlike many other Savile Row tailoring houses, your initial A & S suit usually only requires two fittings and following orders often also go straight to the forward fitting and require one single fitting session. Their head cutter, John Hitchock has a reputation for being a little stiff and not taking to much input from his clients, and therefore, as a customer (especially a new one), you should be very forward about what you want and what you do not want. Otherwise, he will do everything his own way, and you are stuck with what he thinks is best (which is sometimes the best indeed, but sometimes not at all what you were hoping for). Apparently, in the past, the A & S pattern matching for pockets or sleeves was less than perfect, but it has significantly improved in the last time. I personally would not want my business suits to be made in the soft and drapy A & S style, but for tweed coats or more casual jackets or overcoats, I quite like their house style . If you want to have a closer look at the A & S style, you can take the Prince of Wales as a good example. In my opinion, with his sloping shoulders and his fairly broad hips, he would be better off with a more structured type of suit, but he still regularly makes it into the "best dressed" lists. Well done, Anderson & Sheppard !

I'm getting married in Sept and had decided to get a suit made rather than hiring a morning suit…read morewhich was the other obvious option. I searched around the big savile row tailors and enquired about made-to-measure and bespoke suit prices. To be honest, their prices were way out of my budget range (£2000+) and as it was my first tailored suit, I was worried about the stuffiness in some of the other tailors that I had heard about. I then starting doing some research on Google, looking at reviews etc for other non-savile row tailors in the £1000-1500 range. I narrowed it down to a few tailors, one of which was Henry Herbert which I decided to go for after reading favourable reviews. Obviously getting a wedding suit made is a huge thing and you are essentially putting your trust in someone you have never met before. I have to say that Charlie who I dealt with was absolutely superb fitting in around work to come to the Savile Row office that he shares with another tailor. I came in a couple of times to pick a fabric, then once I decided to go ahead I had 2 fittings (each about 20 mins each to fit around work). There are some final tweaks happening and then the final suit will be delivered. It probably took a couple of months from start to finish. The suit looks superb a beautiful midnight blue cloth, and I also got a shirt made as well. The difference between the suit I came in and the one being made was obvious. Im sure the final result will be absolutely superb. Happy to give a reference. Highly recommended.
