On your frame
- Broad / muscular — Size the shirt for the chest and have the body taken in through the side seams.
- Tall and lean — Wear it loose — the full trouser is what stops the height reading stretched.
- Compact — Tuck the shirt, raise the trouser, and narrow the leg slightly.
- Fuller figure — Untucked, straight through the body, and keep the trouser straight rather than wide.

01 — The introduction
If this is the shape you want, tell me the occasion and date and I will point you at the right house for it.
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.
