CAN I ORDER TROUSERS UNHEMMED?
Yes. Most trousers are supplied with an unfinished leg.
The unfinished inside leg is approximately 37 inches.
Show More
We would recommend ordering trousers unhemmed and trying them on first. Once you are satisfied with the fit, a local tailor will be able to hem them to your preferred length.
If you are unsure, our team in the Piccadilly store will be happy to measure you in person.
HOW DO I MEASURE MY INSIDE LEG?
Measure a well-fitting pair of trousers.
Measure from the crotch to the hem.
Show More
Lay the trousers flat and measure from the crotch, where the seams meet, to the bottom of the leg.
If you are unsure, we would recommend ordering unhemmed and having the trousers altered once you are happy with the fit.
DO YOU OFFER ALTERATIONS AND TAILORING?
We offer selected alterations online.
Altered items are not eligible for return or exchange.
Show More
If you are unsure about sizing, we recommend trying garments unaltered first. Alterations can then be carried out either by us or by a local tailor once you are confident in the fit.
Please note that once an item has been altered, it is no longer eligible for return or exchange unless faulty or not as described.
Some of our classic men’s trousers, including corduroy and moleskin styles, have approximately 1½ inches in the centre back seam to allow the seat to be let out. This is also available on our men’s city suits.
CAN YOU SPLIT A CITY SUIT INTO DIFFERENT SIZES?
Regrettably, our city suits are sold as a set.
Trousers are supplied 6 inches smaller than the jacket.
Show More
Regrettably, we are unable to split suit sets to accommodate different sizes.
Some suits do have matching single trousers available separately, which may be helpful when choosing the most suitable option.
The trousers can typically be taken in or let out by approximately 1 inch. We would recommend trying the suit on first and then visiting our store or a local tailor for fitting advice.
Please note that once a suit has been altered, it is no longer eligible for return or exchange unless faulty or not as described.
HOW DO YOUR MEN’S SHIRTS FIT?
Our shirts are cut in a traditional country style.
They are fuller fitting, not tailored or slim fitting.
Show More
Shirts are sized by neck circumference in inches and are intentionally more generous than many contemporary shirt styles. We would not describe them as tailored or slim fitting.
All of our shirts are made from the same block, so sizing is consistent across the range. Sleeve length is approximately 36 inches, measured from the centre back neck, across the shoulder and down to the cuff.
Some customers who prefer a shorter sleeve do choose to have them adjusted locally by their own tailor. We are also able to offer this alteration in person at our Piccadilly store.
We appreciate that this style will not suit everyone, particularly those looking for a slimmer fit or multiple sleeve length options.
HOW DO I CHOOSE THE RIGHT SIZE?
In general, our clothing has a classic fit.
Most styles are designed to measure true to size.
Show More
In general, we would describe our clothing as having a classic fit.
Our trousers are designed to measure true to size in inches. For example, if your waist measures 34 inches at the natural waist, a size 34 would be the correct size to take.
The same applies to our jackets. If your chest measures 40 inches, a size 40 jacket would be the correct size.
Our coats are designed to be worn over a jacket, so you do not need to size up. If you prefer a slightly slimmer fit, or do not intend to wear tailoring or heavier knitwear underneath, you may wish to consider taking a size down.
If you are unsure which size to choose or would like more detailed advice on fit, please contact Customer Services or visit our Piccadilly store, where our team will be happy to assist.
