Bespoke Tailor Savile Row and Woburn
Souster and Hicks bespoke suits are hand cut on the premises by Geoff or Scott Souster bespoke tailor , and master patterns are created for each individual client.
Your fittings are also hand made on the premises by Wes Souster or Jane, a tailoress who has worked for the family business for over 25 years.
The jackets are made with a hand/floating body canvas (unless a fused front is specifically requested) which gives a soft natural feel to the jacket and enables shape to be constructed into the chest area to either help with the fit, or to enhance the figure.
Bespoke Tailoring is a specialist service with skills handed down from father to son. Time taken to creat a bespoke suit involves many man hours with Linings and buttonholes are all sewn by hand. In fact there are in the region of 5000 hand stitches in a jacket alone, this takes many hours of work and is one of the reasons why bespoke suits are the price they are.
Trousers are hand finished with a metal zip fly, hand sewn hooks and bars in the waistbands (which do not pull out like a ready to wear suit) and the fronts of the waistband are stiffened, to stop any rolling over.
The trimmings, which are the linings, canvases, buttons and pocketings are of the very best quality available. The buttons will be either real horn, mother of pearl, silk or of cloth to match. Silk thread is used to shape and make the buttonholes.
After your final fitting, the garments are then given to highly skilled Savile Row trained tailors to finish.
Your first Souster and Hicks suit will require up to three fittings, and then your master pattern in card will be completed for further orders. You should allow up to 8 weeks for completion.
Quicker orders can be made by special arrangement
