Norton & Sons has a long tradition of bespoke women's tailoring, and we're now revitalising this heritage with a fresh perspective and a modernised house cut.
Bespoke tailoring on Savile Row is an art perfected over almost 700 years. At Norton & Sons our tailoring team assemble each suit without compromise; each piece of cloth and canvas that goes into your suits is painstakingly marked and cut by hand; thousands of hand stitches join the cloth to its canvas interlinings; the sections of the garment are skillfully shaped by hand into your exact form; linings, edges and buttonholes are meticulously finished by hand.
We are proud that, to this day, our master craftsmen hand-cut and sew our bespoke clothing in our workrooms at No.16 Savile Row.
The Process
The bespoke process begins with a consultation on choice of style and cloth. We will discuss where you will wear your clothes, your style, and your lifestyle so that we can offer the correct advice on cloth, construction and detail.
Once a style and cloth has been selected our master cutters will take your individual measurements and make notes on figure and posture.
From this a unique hand-cut pattern is created from scratch and will continue to be refined throughout the fitting process. If you are a new customer, this process may involve several fittings working closely with our tailor and pattern maker. Once your pattern has been perfected it is retained in our pattern room and all subsequent orders will be made using this unique template.
Each bespoke garment is cut and sewn under the control of our Head Cutter. Our tailoring team is composed of the finest specialist coat-makers, trouser-makers, vest-makers, alteration tailors, finishing tailors and pressers, all trained in their craft here on Savile Row. The making of a single suit involves up to eleven craftsmen and may take between 60-80 hours.
The lead time on our bespoke is approximately 12-15 weeks.
