We
at Henry Bailey would like to create a look that flatters the body bringing
you substance, elegance and comfort that is synonymous to the English
cut. During your first appointment, our tailors will discuss your order.
You have the choice of more than 6000 cloth samples from woollen merchants such as Holland and Sherry, Dormeuil, Scabal, Dashing Tweeds, Lear Brown and Dunsford and Harrisons of Edinburgh. Our tailor is there to offer advice and help you select a cloth catering to your specific need. Measurements are then taken in order to draft your individual pattern.
Your
cloth selection is cut paying particular attention to match checks or
stripes to enhance the silhouette of your suit.
Each
suit is then trimmed to your chosen lining, and horn or mother-of pearl
buttons . We use the finest interlinings of wool and mohair body canvas,
horsehair chest canvas and domette. These layers are then pad stitched
together forming a soft mould for the foundation of your coat. Each
buttonhole is meticulously sewn by hand using matching silk twist. All
buttons, including hook and bar on trousers are securely fastened.
After each garment is cut and trimmed by our master cutter in Savile Row, it is then sent to our workshop of highly skilled coat makers and trouser makers who will assemble/baste your garment together ready for your first fitting.
After
each fitting, your pattern is corrected and your suit is re-cut taking
into account any adjustments needed.
Once
your garment is completed, we will advise you to come in for your final
try-on or we can arrange to have your garment delivered to your door.
For
your first order you will be required to come for several fittings.
All adjustments are noted and transferred on to your pattern thus creating
a perfect template for the figuration of your body. Records and details
of every order is kept together with your pattern.
