Tailoring
Our 30 years of made to measure tailoring experience is now available in Inverness and the rest of the UK
An appointment in the comfort of your own home
As the demand for our made to measure tailoring service continues to grow at our base in Lairg in the Northern Highlands, and people's time is more valuable than ever, we have adapted our business so we can visit you in the comfort of your own home in Inverness and the surrounding areas.
There is also the possibility of us travelling to you anywhere in the UK.
We (Iain & Narida) always work as a team and will both come along, bringing with us all we need to make sure you get the same level of service as your would if you came to our high street store in Lairg.
OR
An Appointment in our Inverness Tailoring Studio
If you would rather come and see us, but can't make it up to Lairg, we have also set up a tailoring studio in Inverness. After making an appointment you can come along to get measured, try on our size sets and view material samples. You will also be able to see the clothing styles and options you would like to have added to your garment on our large projector screen.

Our Made To Measure Tailoring Service Explained
People can get confused as to what the made to measure service is.
The way we work is that we have an existing pattern for all the garments we offer. From here we get you to try them on, allowing you to get a feel for the garment itself, while allowing us as the tailors to have a look and decide what needs changing. We will give our advice and listen to what you want in order to achieve the best possible result.
We don't just provide the standard made to measure service i.e. a simple length adjustment. These existing patterns we work from can be altered to suit each person, whether it be more or less at the shoulders, chest, waist, thighs, the list goes on. We will simply do whatever is required for the best possible fit.
You will only have one appointment at the beginning. There is no need for a fitting during the making process, therefore the next point of contact is when the garments are ready.
This is how we differ from bespoke tailoring - with bespoke, a pattern has to be made up for you, which then requires you to have fittings during the making process. This in turn takes up more of your time and also means that you end up paying far beyond the cost of our made to measure tailoring service, for essentially a very similar garment.
After 30 years we have perfected the way we operate for the best possible result. We provide more than your standard made to measure service, as we can offer changes in the fitting and details of all garments. This makes us fall somewhere in-between made to measure and bespoke tailoring, while still managing to offer our service at the same price as made to measure.
How far will we travel?
Our Inverness Tailoring Service is primarily for Inverness, however we can also visit you anywhere in the UK from the West to the East coast and a long way south (furthest we have travelled so far has been Norfolk!).
If you are based outside Inverness there will be a mileage/travel charge. We will also factor in the amount of garments to be ordered, to make sure it's cost effective for us to travel a long distance.
