Tailor made suits by bespoke tailors, cut and fitted on the premises
Souster & Hicks are a family owned and run bespoke tailors based in the beautiful village of Woburn, established in 1978 by Geoff and Laura Souster, they soon became the most well known and respected bespoke tailors outside of London’s Savile Row and were the very first bespoke tailors in 1988 to feature on the BBC “The Clothes Show”. In the same year Geoff was elected as the National President of the Federation Of Merchant Tailors by his Savile Row peers, making him the youngest bespoke tailor ever.
Bespoke tailoring and
bespoke suits
With both sons Scott and Wes working in the business, sewing, drafting, cutting & designing they’re now able to continue the future of the Souster name within bespoke tailoring.
The Sousters have hand drafted and cut over 25,000 suits between them.
At Souster & Hicks you have two tailoring options, firstly hand craft bespoke tailoring, with the Sousters having personally hand drafted and cut over 25,000 suits between them they offer a handmade bespoke suit service easily on par with the best Savile Row tailors but as they don’t have the huge overheads of a Mayfair
address they’re able to offer a more
competitively priced bespoke
suit, all these bespoke suits are
drafted, cut and fitted
on the Woburn
premises.
Secondly,
by using the most
modern computer cutting
methods Souster and Hicks offer a
semi-bespoke factory made suit, this is also
known as a “made to measure” suit. Often
described as a halfway house between a very good suit off the peg and a fully hand tailored bespoke suit, this service offers a great insight into the “tailoring” world.
