Modern Bespoke Blazer in London

[Sidhartha]

Hi All,

I'm looking to have a modern bespoke blazer made in London.
When I say modern I really mean both the tailoring and the range of cloths on offer.
I'm in my late 30's so don't want to be wearing a traditional tweed in a traditional cut!

Could anyone provide some suggestions or recommendations?

As an example of the kind of thing I mean by modern blazer, let me post a link to a Fendi jacket I saw last week which was a modern spin a classic tweed blazer. Obviously I'm not looking to replicate this, but it gives an idea.

Many Thanks

What an awful looking garment.

Doubtless any could do it but perhaps

Richard James

Timothy Everest

or

Mark Powell

might find this within their comfort zones.

Seems an expensive way to obtain a short life high fashion garment.

Not that expensive when you see the price of the Fendi Jacket!

As a fashion-focussed item I think it's quite nice, would look very nice for an evening out in London.

A tailor could probably also advise on how to give you what you want but still classic enough to have a decent lifespan.

Fendi jacket is a shocker!

I'm with GBR.

With £1500 go with his suggestions with Lucan's words of Classic and Lifespan playing in your mind...

Well, it's all personal taste. I've seen the Fendi jacket and it is actually quite nice. Beautiful cloth.
But completely overpriced at £1,500 I'd agree with that.

I'm not looking to replicate that anyway. I am simply posting it to show something more interesting than a Harris Tweed in a classic cut which I've no interest in... at least not for another decade or so!

Thanks for the suggestions. I'd already thought of Timothy Everest. I'll check the others.

You could get a mtm jacket made for less than half the Fendi price, or under £1k for a bespoke version

MTM Timothy Everest is a good option; so would Cad & The Dandy, who have a contemporary style.

Think that Fendi one will be horribly dated in a couple of years, might not want to wear it then.

That is not a blazer.
