Formal / Evening wear


Now availble from Rory Duffy as part of the personal tailoring service.





 A classic example of the Evening tailcoat. Traditional wore with a white tie and marcella white waistcoat, top hat and white gloves.




The Dinner suit, also referred to as a "Tux" or "Tuxedo" in america. Evolved from the evening suit and has now replaced it as the formal evening wear.












The Morning suit, as the name suggests this suit was worn in the morning. It is now commonly associated with weddings and as is often worn by the groom.  Pictured above are the two most common styles of waistcoat paired with the Morning coat.

All suits pictured are a pair of my archive and are worn with brace top trouser. They are cut and made using traditional savile row methods and are available now, upon request.

Comfort, Modesty and Prestige

The essence of bespoke is the hand- make, a time honored tradition of making each piece by hand and by the individual tailor.
For each new client a paper pattern is cut and altered throughout their custom. It is drafted and configured to the clients personal physique. The tailor studies his clients form and posture, taking detailed notes and precise measurements.
Whether it's a low shoulder or hollow back, the pattern is cut to ensure a perfect fit. Combine this with well positioned darts added with the sense of modesty and comfort, makes a well  fitted and flattering suit.

The prestige is in it construction, I labour  for over Seventy hours when creating one of my  hand-made suit. All raw materials used are of natural fibers, e.g silk, cotton, camel hair. Machine sewing is minimal, the collar, shoulder and linings are completely hand sewn adding, to the six thousand hand stitches used.
Once pressed and finished with  horn buttons and exquisite hand -made  button holes, Bespoke presents a man of elegance and admiration.
