London · The Bespoke Index
Bespoke tailors in London
We scanned 647 London businesses to find 102 that cut suits to measure. Alteration shops, dress specialists and dry cleaners are not listed. 25 of the 102 sit on Savile Row itself, and the rest are spread across Mayfair, the City, St James's, Marylebone, Fitzrovia, Soho and beyond.
Savile Row and everywhere else
The Row is 25 of our 102 London listings, and only 7 of those publish a starting price, so comparing them means going on the record and the wait instead. Several of London's better known names sit a street away rather than on the Row: Anderson & Sheppard on Old Burlington Street, Thom Sweeney in the same workrooms, Kent & Haste on Sackville Street. Richard James and Ozwald Boateng are on the Row itself, at numbers 29 and 30.
What a London commission takes
40 of the 102 state a lead time. They run from two weeks at Apsley Tailors and Mochee London to three to five months at Phillip Alexander. The number of fittings varies as widely: Chittleborough & Morgan works over five or six, Kent & Haste over three to four. Maurice Sedwell puts around 120 hours of hand work into a suit, Norton & Sons 60 to 80.
What the prices actually look like
32 of the 102 publish a starting price. They run from £299 at The Drop, which is made to measure ordered online, to £7,500 at Huntsman. The middle of the range sits at £1,395. 10 start under £1,000 and 6 start above £2,000. The rest quote on request, which on the Row is the norm rather than the exception.
