Style is a personal choice and that’s why only bespoke suits will do for those gentlemen who have their own concept of style. We create our finest handmade bespoke suits under the label, “ANDREW KEMP BESPOKE”. “Bespoke” means to “speak for” something. In this case, it is your own personal handmade suit that fits you perfectly in a cloth of your choosing.
Please note, appointments are required for Bespoke consultations and fittings. Call us to book an appointment now.
Our Process
- First Appointment – Andrew will personally measure you, and you will discuss your style preferences and select the finer detail options. Details you are able to choose from include: lapels (width and style – notch, peak or shawl), vents (none, one or two), buttons (front of suit and sleeves), canvassing, lining (full, half or unlined), shoulders, pockets (internal and external), pinstitching, closure (single or double breasted) and cuffs.
- Calico Fitting – The suits are created off a calico pattern that is cut by experienced artisans based off precise measurements personally taken by Andrew during the consulting process. You will try the toile – suit template – on approximately 10 days* after your first appointment. We will make any changes to the pattern here. Consequently, it is only after this point that we cut the fabric.
- First Fitting – Once the fit of the pattern is confirmed, the suit is then made to the most exact standards with full canvas construction, hand-sewn button holes and contemporary styling; finally finished off using quality trimmings from England and Italy. It takes a minimum of 55 hours for our tailors to make your suit by hand. 6 weeks* after your initial consultation, you will try your full suit on. We will pin up any final alterations at this point and complete them in house.
- Final Fitting – At this point your suit is ready to collect. We now have your pattern and any further suits do not require the interim stages.
