Paddington's Tailor

What is Bespoke?
“Bespoke”: Tailor, suit etc. (seller of) clothes made to order.
Bespoke comes from the word bespeak, meaning 'to ask for'. Traditionally a Saville Row customer would 'bespeak' a bolt of cloth that would then be unavailable to other until the entire suit was complete.

Today, a 'bespoke' suit generally means that you will have two or more fittings, while a 'custom made' suit will generally only have one fitting.

The bespoke difference
Bespoke tailoring is one of the last vestiges of old world quaity and values in today’s commercial world. In this age of instant gratification it’s nice to know there’s still an oasis of style where attention to detail is the order of the day.

At Matthew Lawrence Bespoke we value the ability to create a garment to employing the best of past talents with today’s designs. We pay careful attention to detail, demonstrated by the multiple fittings we undertake before the final completion of your order.

Created in collaboration with you, the utlimate garment becomes an extension of your individual personality and style.
