Semi-Affordable Suit Tailors in London

Hi guys,

I'll be in London for 4 days next week. I've always wanted to get a tailored suit from a proper English tailor.

Is there a tailor in London who is: 1) Semi-affordable (not looking to spend more than 1000 GBP) and 2) Willing to ship across the pond?

Thanks!

Are you talking about bespoke? You will struggle to find many options below £1,000 and 4 days is only enough time to have an initial consultation, you need to set aside time for further fittings.

If you are talking about MTM or RTW, then really I don't think there is much in London that you couldn't get in any other major city.

Not a good idea

Spend that money on mtm with someone location, or if you find something rtw that works for you get it tailored.

If you really want a British 'brand' then many tailors do visit the United States and many offer mtm - personally, avoid this.

I completely forgot about follow-up fittings, etc. Very amateurish of me.

Thanks - I won't go through with it then.

For a military cut, visit Graham Browne in the city of London.
