Bespoke Suits

 

At Harris & Howard Bespoke, we traditionally craft our suits using only the highest quality fabrics and materials, all at remarkably competitive prices. Our construction options span three levels, beginning with a sophisticated entry-level suit and culminating in a hand-sewn masterpiece. Hand-crafted in the UK, the level of craftsmanship and quality that goes into our bespoke suits is unmatched by any off-the-rack alternative and we guide you in selecting the perfect option for you and your budget.

Our skilled tailors devote careful attention to every aspect of our suits, from the delicate stitching to the lining, ensuring that each element of the suit not only looks exceptional but also endures the test of time. Whether you desire a two-piece or three-piece suit for your wedding day or the office, and desire a notch lapel, peak, or shawl, side-adjusters or belt loops, slanted pockets or straight, every details matters and we consider your individual needs and requirements.

Every element of your suit is cut and tailored from your exclusive 'personal pattern'. Whether it's a blue birdseye two-piece for a formal meeting or a striking double-breasted suit for a Christmas party, the choice of each option is entirely yours. Our professional clothiers are there to assist you every step of the way, ensuring a personalised and unparalleled experience.

White Label or Black Label

Harris & Howard Bespoke continually raises the bar in our quality and attention to detail in the tailoring and construction of our bespoke men’s clothes. We use tailored canvas in the construction rather than bonding man-made fibres, creating the very finest, high-quality garments. There are many levels of luxury in bespoke tailoring, and we offer everything from a sophisticated entry-level suit to a hand-sewn masterpiece. We help you choose what is best for you and your budget. To assist our clients in developing a wardrobe that is consistent in price, style, and quality, we offer two levels of service, one Semi Bespoke and one fully bespoke, white and black label.

White Label Suit

Half-canvassed and crafted with machine stitching.

Approximately 80 hours of artistry are poured into every white label garment we make. Throughout the years, the floating canvas of the white label garment, combined with a mixture of traditional and modern construction techniques, has served our customers well, creating a quality, well-lasting garment that looks and feels better with age.

Utilising the latest computer-guided lasers, your individual pattern is cut with the highest levels of accuracy and consistency. Next, the tailor uses state-of-the-art sewing machines to craft the suit, followed by pressing it to the desired finish. Constructed with a half-canvas, the jacket has a layer of canvassing that extends from the shoulders and finishes halfway down the jacket’s body. This creates a robust chest piece that provides shoulder structure, and past that, the bottom part of the jacket is layered with fusing.

The combination of the two creates a well-structured garment, where the cloth drapes naturally over the chest instead of appearing stiff and lifeless, and the fusing allows for a defined shape at the waist as there’s no canvassing to manipulate in that area. The more affordable option, a white label garment requires less work in comparison to the black label garment, while maintaining the shape and necessary structure to flatter the wearer’s upper body.

Black Label Suit

Full-canvased and hand-sewn

As much of the sewing is done by hand, black label is the definition of sartorial distinction. A beautifully tailored garment takes time, and our artisans take over 120 hours in a skilled, laborious process to produce each black label piece. Constructed with full canvas, the canvassing “hangs” or “floats” through the entire front of the jacket and inside of the collar.

With the finest attention to detail, the canvas is hand-sewn into the garment’s interior using hundreds of minute stitches. This creates a weightless feel that delivers superior comfort and durability, which only a full canvas can provide.

The canvassing contours to your figure, and with it running all the way through, any bumps and imperfections are smoothed out. You may have heard some horror stories of off-the-peg garments “bubbling” as the glue in the fusing interface starts to delaminate and wear away as time goes on. The full canvas of a black label garment means not only does this not happen but also supports in providing a layer of added insulation in colder temperatures, and when it’s warmer, moisture transmits away from the body, as the canvas allows the garment to “breathe.”

Hand-sewn throughout, there are many advantages to the handwork of a black label garment: aesthetic and comfort being the most prevalent. The extra work of hand cutting and sewing a suit provides a nod to our heritage and is essential for checks and plaids to flatter the uneven surface of a human body best. The hand-finishing of a black label garment is something extra special and is the ultimate and most sought-after luxury in tailoring. Although on the pricier end of the spectrum, due to the way it’s constructed and the exquisite finish it delivers, Harris & Howard black label is the option preferred by many.
