History
Looks Like A Good Man — LLGM — is a Lagos bespoke house built around the idea that dressing well is a reflection of personality. They have become known for sharp suits, traditional separates and a confident use of colour, often featured in Nigerian style editorials.
What I like
I like the versatility. One day they are cutting a fitted navy suit, the next a green kaftan or a tunic set. The through-line is confidence: nothing looks apologetic. Their separates also make it easy to build a wardrobe piece by piece rather than buying one statement outfit.
Who it's for
The man who moves between boardrooms, weddings and Friday-night gatherings and wants each look to feel considered. Good if you like colour but want it controlled.
Who it isn't for
If you want a house with a single, instantly recognisable silhouette — like a sculpted agbada specialist — LLGM is broader than that. It is a wardrobe builder, not a one-garment statement.
Favourite pieces
- 01Fitted navy two-piece suit with a crisp white native shirt
- 02Green embroidered kaftan set for Owambe season
- 03Longline tunic in a bold colour, worn with slim trousers
Things to know

Getting one made
- 01
Decide the silhouette first. Run your height and build through Build Filter™ so you know what to ask Looks Like A Good Man for.
- 02
Brief them properly. How to brief a tailor covers cloth, dates and what to put in writing.
- 03
Commission it. Ask me for an introduction below, or find someone to finish and alter it in the tailor directory.
What to do next
If Looks Like A Good Man looks right for your occasion, ask me before you commission.
Tell me the occasion, the date and your budget bracket. Within 24 hours you get back: two or three houses I would actually approach and why those and not others, the alterations to insist on for your build, a realistic timeline for your date, and a short written brief you can hand to the tailor at the first fitting.
- No fee, no commission, nothing sold here.
- If nobody I trust fits your date or budget, I say so.
- Read by me, answered by me.
Written, not automated
The House Letter — one letter, one occasion
I write it myself, once a month, to the men planning something. No offers, no forwarded press releases, and nothing you cannot unsubscribe from in one click.
Recently sent
- “A stone senator suit to a Park Lane owambe — and the button I should have undone”
- “Cloth that survives a British October wedding”
- “Commissioning for December: the week the good hands stop taking work”
- 01One occasion, worked through — what I wore, what it cost, what I would change.
- 02Houses and tailors I have actually used, with the honest caveats.
- 03Timing warnings before the season closes, so you commission early enough.
If you have a date in the diary, the letter is the cheapest way to avoid the two mistakes almost everyone makes: commissioning too late, and choosing cloth for the photographs rather than the room.
