Made for You. Properly.

You have been in meetings all morning. The suit you are wearing is good. It fits well enough. The fabric is fine. But somewhere around the third cup of coffee, you catch yourself in the glass of the conference room window and think: this isn't quite right.

It never quite is, when it's not made for you.

At Richard Gelding, we believe that clothing deserves to fit the person wearing it, not the other way around. Which is why, alongside one of the finest ready-to-wear edits in the country, we offer a full range of tailoring and alteration services. No appointment necessary. Walk in. We'll take it from there.

Made-to-Measure Suits, Blazers and Trousers with Canali

Canali has been making suits in northern Italy since 1934. The cloth is exceptional. The construction is serious. And through Richard Gelding, you can have a Canali suit, blazer or trouser made precisely to your measurements, with no waiting list and no ceremony.

Every member of our staff is trained and ready. Come in on a Tuesday afternoon if you like. We'll take your measurements, talk you through the cloth options, and four weeks later you'll collect something that fits as though it was always yours. Any final adjustments are handled on site.

Two-piece suits start at £1,900.

Made-to-Measure Shirts with Alessandro Gherardi

There is a shirt you have been looking for. You haven't found it yet. The collar is never quite right. The cuff sits slightly wrong. The fabric is almost there but not quite.

Alessandro Gherardi makes that shirt. Based in Italy, working in the finest cottons and linens, Gherardi offers a degree of customisation that is, frankly, nearly infinite. Collar shape, cuff style, monogram, placket, button choice: all of it adjustable. All of it yours.

Come and see us in store, or if you can't make it in, drop us an email and we'll handle everything remotely. Four weeks from now, a shirt will arrive that fits no one but you.

Bespoke with Abbie Leach Atelier

Some things cannot be rushed. A house takes time. A garden takes longer. The finest clothes take as long as they take, and they are worth every week of it.

Abbie Leach is an atelier based in our store. Abbie can make anything your heart desires: suits, coats, occasion wear, something that exists nowhere else in the world because it has only just occurred to you. For men and for women. From scratch, by hand, for you specifically.

The process takes eight to twelve weeks. It is worth it. You may contact us to begin, or reach Abbie directly at contact@abbieleachatelier.com, or visit the atelier at abbieleachatelier.com.

Alterations

The jacket you've had for fifteen years. The trousers from a suit that no longer has a partner. The coat your father wore, which is almost right.

Bring them in. We'll sort them out.

We offer a standard 48-hour alteration service, with same-day turnaround available for an express charge. And we mean bring them in: any garment, from anywhere, by anyone. We alter clothes in the name of sustainability, and because a good garment deserves to be worn, not discarded.

Come and See Us

No appointment. No pressure. Just a team that knows clothes and takes them seriously.

We're here when you're ready.
