Collections /Fabric & Suiting
By the metre, from swatch book to the cutting table
Fabric is made to order, never stocked. You choose the design from the swatch book, the length you need is cut, and you take it away.
Cloth is not sold online. Every order begins with a consultation — design, weight, season and the length required are worked through with you, and only then is the cloth cut. More than five thousand designs from English, Italian, French and Swiss mills.
Cloth is not paid for online. Place an order and we will ring you to agree the length and price; it is cut and waiting at the branch.

About this line
Why this line has no basket
You cannot buy cloth from a photograph. The colour on a screen is not the colour in daylight, and more important than colour is the handle — which no image carries.
So this line works to order only: you see and handle the cloth, the length is worked out, and it is cut in front of you.

These figures are approximate
The length depends on your height, your chest, the width of the cloth and the model. Stripes and checks generally need a little more, because the pattern has to match. The exact figure is worked out at the counter.
