With thanks to the team.

The beauty of Full Bespoke is that we choose the canvas that the structure is going to be built with. In this case, we know cotton seersucker is worn in warm weather so we picked a lightweight tropical canvas which gives you a soft structure whilst letting serious air flow in.

Warm weather tailoring doesn't have to be linen based at all. Whilst linen has it's many brilliant qualities, sharpness isn't always one of them.

Darren wears a Full Bespoke sportscoat made from a 9oz cotton seersucker, with a pair of high twist wool trousers.

Our cloth library only has cloth from these regions, plus a few artisanal locations such as the Outer Hebrides for tweed and Northern Ireland for linen.

[Cock of the Walk @cock_ofthewalk]

This is due to the exact pH needed to finish wool cloth being present in the natural water source of these areas. Added to the natural humidity present which allows industrial weaving at speed without breaking the fragile fibres.

Did we mention we have a cloth library, packed to the brim with the best of British tailoring cloth?

The best tailoring cloth in the world comes from one of 3 places: West Yorkshire, The Borders and Northern Italy. 🧵

The long mohair fibres in the mix capture the light like a film star (The reason this cloth is used a lot in film), adding a lustre that brings star quality with it.

Accessorised with another star on our steps.

Details include an incredible honeycomb weave, which prevents the cloth from being totally flat, allowing it to dance on your body, rather than sit on it. Perfect for the heat.

Full Bespoke 3-piece made from a lightweight 8oz kid mohair and wool blend from a very special suiting collection of cloths featured in the 1962 film Dr No.

Huge congratulations to this gentleman on recently becoming Mr @emma_beal80. And to see him off down the aisle, we made this super special suit for the occasion.

Big change on the way, with the opening of Furniture experience store at top of Savile Row. A cafe going in next door, opposite an art gallery and recently announced Beatles museum. Worth keeping an eye on what this means for Bespoke Tailoring as we know it on this famous street.

[Cock of the Walk @cock_ofthewalk]

Back in Hull following our massive FULLY BOOKED trip to Savile Row this week.

Next date for the diaries: Thursday 30th July.

See you down there.

The suit was commissioned especially for summer events due to its breathability, lightness and ability to keep dry in humid conditions.

This is exactly how we like to see past suits are getting on - living a full life.

Savile Row. London.

The birthplace of Bespoke Tailoring.

Where I trained 20 years ago.

We've been visiting this street once a month for the last 10 years, taking our Hull-made work down to London, and pinching their customers.

Next installment: Thurs 25th June.

It also allows air to flow around your body keeping you cool and comfortable all day long.

Get the basics right and the rest will follow.

Darren wears one of our handmade shirts in a strong blue cotton poplin. This is its first wear, and we always recommend having your shirts made on the slightly roomy side to account for slight shrinkage when washing.
