Our Tailoring History
Over the years we have become one of the most well-known and respected bespoke tailors outside of London’s Savile Row. In 1988 we were the very first bespoke tailors to feature on the BBC programme “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 to hold this prestigious office.
Following in the family name both of the Souster sons, Scott and Wes, work in the business, sewing, drafting, cutting and designing. They’re now able to continue the future of the Souster name within bespoke tailoring.
“Client Comments

"I first discovered Geoff on the net four years ago, having never had a bespoke suit made before I was not sure what to expect. What I found was a fantastic family business run by a wonderfully skilled, funny and helpful crew. The cutting is Savile Rows finest quality but you can get this service in Woburn! 14 suits, 3 Jackets, 18 ties and 46 shirts later I think you could say I was a satisfied customer. If you have never ventured into the world of bespoke tailoring before this is the firm to do it with. If you ask nicely Geoff and the boys will even make you a cuppa. Laura Souster also does some fab ladies jackets and blouses of which my wife has 3. Thank god they don't do handbags!"

"One of the essential ingredients for a performer of my type is to look good on stage. With Souster & Hicks as my tailor I can always be assured of that. I can safely say that I have never felt so good in a suit."

"I went to Geoff to see if I could recapture the pleasure of a handmade suit which was the norm when I was growing up in Liverpool in the 60's. Geoff was professional personified and helped me back into the 21st century with a truly superb lightweight wool suit. He kept my quirky cuffs and added his signature lapels to create a suit which draws compliments every time I wear it ! What a memorable experience from start to finish. From a very grateful Philip Melville !"

"I always dreamed of having a made-to-measure suit. About 12 years ago, Geoff fulfilled that dream and I have been going to him ever since. Now I have a wardrobe full of bespoke tailored suits, jackets and shirts. When I am out in his clothes I always get favourable comments. About 8 years ago I mentioned I saw a suit in Milan with a fancy lining and Geoff took that idea and the rest, as they say, is history. He has so many tricks up his sleeve now in terms of making me look presentable but with a twist, his suits are far superior to any I see about London."
