Having clothes hand-made gives our customers the freedom to develop their own individual style and for one of our customers the devil is in the detail. As you can see from the photo below, this gentleman likes to have a double turn-up on all his trousers as standard. While we don’t suggest that every customer should develop a signature detail, because in many cases it looks too affected, for this customer it works.
A quick word on the cloth itself as well which is a twist from Brook Taverner sourced by the customer himself. This style of cloth is perceived as quite old fashioned and is getting less and less common because many mills no longer make it. The usual reason is that the number of different coloured yarns which have to be twisted to get the range of colour in the cloth makes the production process very time-consuming. It is a pity because it is the handle of the cloth and the range of colours in the cloth which makes it so attractive.
