Moss Bros has launched a new tailoring service called TailorMe that offers custom-fitted suits at a lower price point than traditional bespoke tailoring. Through TailorMe, a specialist measures a customer in-store and uses those measurements to create a suit from over 90 fabric options, with custom styling, lapels, lining, and stitching. Suits are ready within 30 days and can be monogrammed. TailorMe costs £100 on top of the base suit price and is available at Moss Bros stores.

measuring up
As every man knows, a
fundamental factor in
determining a great suit
is a great fit, and the new
tailoring service launched by
Moss Bros offers exactly that
– minus the usual hefty price-
tag. Carried out in-store,
a specialist will take your
measurements, then apply
them to your choice of more
than 90 different fabrics,
styling, lapel shaping, lining
and stitching. Suits are ready
to collect within 30 days and
you can even have the final
design monogrammed.

‘cheese and wine’ essentials
A colour we’ve seen a lot of the past few years is burgundy – precisely
the same shade as the red wine. It works well with light and dark colours
and gives the illusion you’ve done more than rummage in your wardrobe
at random. Hunter has chosen burgundy as one of the shades for its new
slim-fit Refined Black Strap Boot, while French Connection has produced a
tartan and sheepskin jacket we love. If you’re feeling adventurous you can
go all out and pair it with other English country staples – mustard leather
accessories and khaki chinos. A clichè, but an incredibly good one.
could you go
collarless?
Of all the pieces we’ve stumbled across for
A/W16, Whistles’ take on the collarless
cardigan was one of the most daring; we
were still pondering the collarless T-shirt.
Somehow, you don’t need to be a gym
bunny to make this piece work. The
toffee tone is modern while the looser fit
has somehow managed to keep the look
masculine, especially when thrown over
a chunky knitted sweater and straight-leg
jeans. We’re debating it, but we like it. Tip:
the cut will make you look slimmer too.
