I have some experience with bespoke tailors in Rome. However, to me a decent covert coat has to come from the UK. Unfortunately I have zero experience with the process there and looking for advice!
Let start with my price range: The prices of the big names in Saville Row (approx. 3000+ GBP) are above my budget. I am looking rather at 1000 - 1500 GBP.
The second point is that the coat should be made on the premisses.
I have already done some research. One company that I came across is Macangus and Wainwright (https://macangus-wainwright.com). Has anybody here already worked with them?
I would also be very grateful for other recommendations in the greater London area!
Kind regards

Arthur Aprile-Smith of Macangus and Wainwright used to have a store in Leigh on Sea near Southend. I popped in a couple of times before he "retired".

I'm a fan of Bookster tailoring. I have several coats, waiscoats and an off the rack blazer. Currently waiting on my next tweed overcoat. They do covert coats as well
