Cad and the Dandy
Bespoke tailoring
At London tailors Cad and the Dandy, we dispel the myth that quality comes at a heavy price. We operate with the conviction that high end bespoke tailoring should be accessible to all. Our suits offer a modern British cut, are made using age old hand tailoring techniques and are delivered with a personal touch.We don't over complicate things, operating from intimate premises in Savile Row, The City and Canary Wharf with our trained Savile Row tailors, cutters and finishers.
We offer three grades of tailored suit: machine stitched, half hand-stitched and fully hand-stitched. All of our suits start with pattern creation, done by hand and retained for all future orders. We believe in ease by offering appointments across London from our Savile Row, City & Canary Wharf shops or by simply reordering online using our unique, interactive design tool. Choose from hundreds of design permutations, a vast library of fabrics and co-ordinate with our spectrum of stylish linings to create your very own tailored suit.
Our fully hand stitched suits are what a true bespoke suit is meant to be. Offering the finest in construction, with a full floating canvass, basted fitting and detailed hand finishing, this is the suit that every man wants. After we cut the cloth we lightly stitch the jacket and trousers together into a shell of a suit, known as a "baste". At the basted fitting you'll have an in-depth discussion with one of our tailors about the fit of the suit and how it can be tweaked to perfect the fit. Each custom made suit is then pulled apart and recut before being finally made up. At this stage your paper pattern is also updated so we can accurately recreate the fit for your future purchases. You'll then come in for a final fitting where any minor alterations are turned around in just a few days for you.
