The art of my soft tailoring style has stood the test of time and is a style reminiscent of the golden age of men’s clothing. My soft tailored hand crafted suits are lighter in weight to wear, much more comfortable and individually stylish. In order to achieve this unique style, there are a number of very different elements in the making.My father John Hitchcock joined Anderson and Sheppard when he was 16 years old and was taught sewing and cutting skills in the traditional way. He started as an apprentice trouser maker and ended up over 50 years later the head cutter and Managing Director of Anderson and Sheppard and for me the King-Pin of the firm. I’m the tailor I am today due to extraordinary education I have had from my Father. He retired in August 2014. I have been in the Savile Row bespoke tailoring trade for over 25 years, creating the very finest, comfortable and stylish bespoke tailored suits. I served a full classical apprenticeship at Anderson and Sheppard where I was comprehensibly taught the soft tailoring style by my father, John Hitchcock. Working for myself I have even had the pleasure of making a number of garments for H.R.H. The Prince of Wales. All of my craftsman are the very finest Savile Row Artisan’s they have to meet my exacting high standards. I am very proud to say that we stand and fall on our beautiful bespoke suits. We do not sell any ready to wear or off the peg suits, shoes or shirts just the very best handmade bespoke suits. All of my bespoke suits are hand cut by myself and handmade here in London, England. They are made in the true Savile Row bespoke tradition, with over 50 hours of hand work in every suit.
