Souster
and Hicks
bespoke
suits are
hand cut
on the
premises
by Geoff
or Scott
Souster,
and master
patterns
are created
for each
individual
client.
Your fittings
are also
hand made
on the
premises
by Wes
Souster
or Jane,
a tailoress
who has
worked
for the
family
business
for over
25 years.
The jackets
are made
with a
hand/floating
body canvas
(unless
a fused
front is
specifically
requested)
which gives
a soft
natural
feel to
the jacket
and enables
shape to
be constructed
into the
chest area
to either
help with
the fit,
or to enhance
the figure.
Linings
and buttonholes
are all
sewn by
hand. In
fact there
are in
the region
of 5000
hand stitches
in a jacket
alone,
this takes
many hours
of work
and is
one of
the reasons
why bespoke
suits are
the price
they are.
Trousers
are hand
finished
with a
metal zip
fly, hand
sewn hooks
and bars
in the
waistbands
(which
do not
pull out
like a
ready to
wear suit)
and the
fronts
of the
waistband
are stiffened,
to stop
any rolling
over.
The trimmings,
which are
the linings,
canvases,
buttons
and pocketings
are of
the very
best quality
available.
The buttons
will be
either
real horn,
mother
of pearl,
silk or
of cloth
to match.
Silk thread
is used
to shape
and make
the buttonholes.
After
your final
fitting,
the garments
are then
given to
highly
skilled
Savile
Row trained
tailors
to finish.
Your first
Souster
and Hicks
suit will
require
up to three
fittings,
and then
your master
pattern
in card
will be
completed
for further
orders.
You should
allow up
to 8 weeks
for completion.
Quicker
orders
can be
made by
special
arrangement
