Frequently Asked Questions

What is a house style? What is your house style?

A house style is akin to someone’s DNA. Yours can be similar your parents but there are countless little variations which add up to yours beings unique.

House styles may dictate the garment’s overall level of formality and may also serve to accentuate or certain features such as shoulder width.

My design philosophy draws influences from English tailoring, particularly from the English drape style which adds additional fabric throughout the chest and upper back area for comfort, as well as to create the illusion of a larger upper body. I also blend light and thin canvassing with lightly padded shoulders to create classically proportioned garments, which in my mind, resonate with modern sensibilities.

Semi-bespoke typically takes eight to 12 weeks, while bespoke takes between 12 and 16 weeks. For additional details, please see here.
